Jacob Elordi to Play FRANKENSTEIN’s Monster in Guillermo del Toro’s Movie, Netflix Announces Cast

by

As a lifelong fan of both Gothic literature and Guillermo del Toro’s cinematic masterpieces, I can hardly contain my excitement for his upcoming adaptation of Frankenstein! The cast he’s assembled is nothing short of breathtaking – Jacob Elordi as the monster? Brilliant! Oscar Isaac as the enigmatic Victor Frankenstein? Genius! And let’s not forget the incomparable Christoph Waltz and Mia Goth, whose performances are always a treat.

The renowned filmmaker Guillermo del Toro is set to breathe life into the iconic story of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” for Netflix, and it looks like the production will feature an impressive ensemble of actors. Contrary to earlier speculations, Jacob Elordi, not Andrew Garfield, has been cast as the monster in this adaptation. It appears that scheduling conflicts forced Garfield to step away from the project. Elordi, who previously portrayed a different type of monster in “Saltburn”, is expected to showcase an entirely new facet of his talent when Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein” premieres on Netflix.
