The teaser immerses viewers in del Toro’s uniquely emotional take on Mary Shelley’s classic. Victor Frankenstein is shown obsessively conducting electrical experiments in his sprawling lab, culminating in the birth of the Monster through a dramatic lightning strike. We glimpse the creature violently asserting itself aboard an icebound ship, marking a terrifying transformation. Meanwhile, Dr Pretorius (Christoph Waltz) is revealed to be hunting the Monster believed dead for 40 years, aiming to resurrect Frankenstein’s controversial science.
The visuals are striking—dark, gothic interiors lit by electrical arcs, snow‑blasted Arctic landscapes, and Oscar Isaac’s intense portrayal of a man haunted by his own creation. Jacob Elordi’s Monster is teased through motion and action but thoughtfully withheld in full view, sustaining the film’s air of mystery. The tone balances cinematic grandeur with intimate tragedy, crafted over decades by del Toro.
