June 2025 — Academy Award-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro returns to the dark heart of horror with the highly anticipated teaser trailer for Frankenstein (2025) — a visually haunting reimagining of Mary Shelley’s iconic tale. The film stars Cillian Murphy as Dr. Victor Frankenstein, in what early buzz is calling one of his most psychologically gripping performances to date.

Set against the eerie, windswept landscapes of 19th-century Europe, the trailer opens with murky candlelight flickering in a crumbling laboratory. A voice whispers: “What is man… if not something I can create?” – and so begins a chilling journey into obsession, science, and guilt.
Murphy’s portrayal of Victor Frankenstein is tortured and intense, as we glimpse the tragic scientist assembling his creature — a hulking, near-human figure cloaked in shadow and sorrow.
