First Look at Oscar Isaac’s Nefarious Doctor Frankenstein

At long last, we’ve got our first glimpse of Guillermo del Toro’s adaptation of Frankenstein, featuring a cast member in action! In this sneak peek, Oscar Isaac portrays Doctor Frankenstein, and he appears to be clutching an enigmatic vial… and he’s downright terrifyingly convincing. We can hardly wait for more tidbits, but for now, we’re quite satisfied with just this tantalizing still. Though, if the quality of this initial image from Netflix’s Frankenstein is any indication, a full trailer promises to be even more captivating, and the entire film could very well be mind-blowing. This year has been a great one for universal monsters, and we have high hopes that Guillermo del Toro’s rendition of Frankenstein will not disappoint—and this image only fuels our anticipation.

In this initial glimpse of the film by Guillermo del Toro, it’s unclear with whom Oscar Isaac’s Doctor Frankenstein is conversing. The contents of the vial he carries remain a mystery as well. However, one thing that’s certain is that his vest appears to be corseted and cinched. And let me tell you, given just these two images, everything about the movie – its opulence, intensity, and sheer astonishing quality – has left us thoroughly impressed.

Guillermo del Toro, an Academy Award-winning director, transforms Mary Shelley’s timeless story “Frankenstein” where we find Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant yet arrogant scientist, who through a macabre experiment, breathes life into a monster. This creation, born from his own hands, eventually triggers the downfall of both its maker and the sorrowful being itself.

Moreover, it’s been confirmed that the Frankenstein movie will hit theaters in November 2025. It’s going to be a long wait, but we’re eagerly anticipating it. We can hardly contain our excitement for Jacob Elordi’s portrayal of the Frankenstein Monster/Creature. According to The Wrap, who had a sneak peek at some footage and this image, del Toro’s interpretation of the monster is heavily influenced by Bernie Wrightson’s illustrations, first published by Marvel Comics in 1983 – featuring stringy black hair, a thin, sinewy frame with deep, expressive eyes.

Bravo to Frankenstein, Guillermo del Toro, and Doctor Frankenstein! We have high hopes that this Netflix production will be impressive!
