Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein Coming to Netflix on November 7, where the streamer confirms the news along with a first look at two of the new film’s promotional posters (see below). We’ve already seen a few preview snaps of what’s going to come, as well as a two-minute trailer showing Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein, Mia Goth as Elizabeth Lavenza and Charles Dance as Leopold Frankenstein. However, Jacob Elordi’s monster is largely hiding in the shadows, only appeared as a black silhouette, which is shrouded with furs and claws as dark as the night.

It goes without saying that this is another adaptation of the famous novel by Gothic author Mary Shelley, with Frankenstein’s monster (not called Frankenstein, though we often get the mixed) that appears in countless films since far back in 1915. This is neither Netflix’s first to bring the story to life (remember CreatureIt is also not part of Toro’s first original creation for one of the best streaming services around, after making an animated version of Pinocchio For Netflix in 2022.
However a version of Frankenstein Created by Del Toro! What the world we get to live in. The upcoming move has been my most expected movie on 2025 since last year, and fortunately there is a way I can see it before it hits Netflix in November (where I want to watch it again, of course).
Netflix quietly confirms 17 October Theater Release Date of Del Toros Frankenstein before it falls on streaming
If you look closely at the above posters, you see that Frankenstein will appear in selected theaters from October 17. Although it does not mean that everyone has direct access, it means that global hotspots get the movie early (Think New York, Los Angeles and London). Frankly, it’s a smart move and addresses the one piece of feedback that Netflix has received time and time again over the years: Give your original films a theater release as well.
Think about Kpop Demon HuntersMonster Smash-Hit (word games calculated) No expected player now joining Singalong screenings after the fact. At the top of this, the said screenings typically only play for two days in very limited places, which basically defeats the point of letting fans enjoy the experience in the first place. Netflix has to make theater views before a streaming release for the strategy to work, for both fighting cinemas and the platform itself.
Given the two minutes of recordings we’ve seen tell us as much information as an empty piece of paper anyone sees Frankenstein In cinemas, first, to blind. Of course, we’ve probably had some reviews before then, but these shows will drum up the hype and commitment, Netflix would chew off its own hand in the most organic way (by mouth from the audience). At that time Frankenstein Then Netflix hits, it will be an explosion of views where people are likely to run to see it first. It is a marketing master stroke and also a generous.
When he talked about the movie, Del Toro said in a statement: “The most important figure from English heritage is, incredible, to me, a teenager named Mary Shelley, and she has remained a figure that is so important in my life as if she were family. And so many times when I want to give up when I think of giving up when people tell me what dreams of the movies and the stories I dream, I am thinking, I think.” Thanks Shelley and Del Toro for your service.
