A brand new look at Jacob Elordi as the Creature in Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein has just dropped, and it gives a closer look at the actor's transformation as he slips into the character. The image shows Elordi in an eerie avatar, with lines all over his body as he carries a human skull in his hands. His wrists and waist are wrapped with long leaves, as he sits in a forest surrounded by human skeletons.It's a different look into Elordi's character, who has previously been shown in a more ragged essence, embodying the ghostly appearance of the Creature. It's a role that has given him much appreciation from fans and critics, and a step further from his usual roles as male leads in romantic arcs.The transformation for the Creature was no piece of cake either. Frankenstein saw him working for ten hours in makeup to achieve that look, and he lost track of time as he slipped into the Creature's role. Speaking to Variety in an interview, Elordi says,“You throw time away when you make a film like this. I stopped having a clock, and I would just wait till the SUV arrived. That meant it was time to go. I didn’t do breakfast, lunch or dinner, or think in terms of morning, afternoon, night. It was just one time."Further talking about what he hopes for the movie, he adds,“My great hope is that we get this film in cinemas for as long as possible. And then, hopefully, that can set a precedent for more films out there.”More details about Guillermo del Toro's FrankensteinGuillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein is a dark and poetic reimagining of Mary Shelley’s timeless tale, one that fuses gothic horror with philosophical introspection. Written, directed, and produced by del Toro himself, the film stars Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, Felix Kammerer, David Bradley, Lars Mikkelsen, Christian Convery, Charles Dance, and Christoph Waltz. At its heart is Victor Frankenstein, played by Isaac, a brilliant yet tormented scientist whose obsession with defying mortality leads to the creation of a Creature, played by Elordi that both mirrors and destroys him.Visually and in terms of story, the film takes a different angle than the book and previous iterations of adaptations, as del Toro incorporated a number of reimagined aspects into the film that added to the narrative. Such as a more intimate and affectionate relationship between the Creature and Elizabeth Lavenza, and the inclusion of new characters who add to the story's richness.Frankenstein premiered at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival on August 30, 2025, followed by a limited theatrical release on October 17, 2025. The film will be available to stream on Netflix from November 7, 2025.
