Elordi's Chilling Creature: Redefining Frankenstein's Icon

Guillermo del Toro's highly anticipated Frankenstein adaptation is set to hit Netflix in November 2025, and the streaming service has just unveiled the first full image of Jacob Elordi as the Creature. The Euphoria star is nearly unrecognizable under the detailed prosthetics and long hair, yet he manages to project a dark, hypnotic allure that has fans raving.

Elordi's portrayal of the Creature is being hailed as a game-changer, blending monstrous and alluring elements in a way that redefines Mary Shelley's iconic creation. The actor's haunting physicality and quiet vulnerability ground the Creature's rage in a deep sense of sorrow, creating a mesmerizing and multifaceted performance.

Early reactions from critics who have seen the film suggest that Elordi's take on the Creature is one of the standout elements of del Toro's gothic vision. The director's signature romantic horror aesthetic, combined with the film's breathtaking design, is shaping Frankenstein up to be one of the most discussed releases of 2025 and potentially the definitive Frankenstein for a new generation.
