Guillermo del Toro, known for his Oscar-winning creations such as 2017’s ‘The Shape of Water,’ 2006’s Pan’s ‘Labyrinth’ and the recent 2022 adaptation of ‘Pinocchio,’ will be at the helm of this yet-to-be-titled project.

The tale of Frankenstein has graced the silver screen on numerous occasions, with adaptations spanning from the 1931 classic ‘Frankenstein’ to 1948’s ‘Bud Abbott and Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein’ and beyond.

Elordi’s immersion into this iconic role follows his eventful 2023, where he brought Elvis Presley to life in Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla and assumed the character of Felix Catton in Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn. The actor is set to continue his captivating portrayal of Nate Jacobs in the eagerly anticipated third season of Euphoria.
