Oscar Isaac Channels His Inner Mad Scientist in a New Image From Guillermo del Toro's ‘Frankenstein’

Oscar Isaac (Scenes from a Marriage) is putting on a rousing scientific presentation in a brand-new image for Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming adaptation of Frankenstein. Set to rise from the slab and stumble onto Netflix alongside the rest of the streamer’s sprawling catalog of content later this year, the movie is the latest cinematic take on Mary Shelley’s 1818 classic gothic novel of the same name. The film will feature Isaac in the titular role of the mad doctor who believes in creating life from death, with Jacob Elordi (Saltburn) stomping into the role of Frankenstein’s monster. The Kissing Booth franchise alum’s presence in the movie hints at del Toro’s take being a bit different from what we’ve seen in the past, as we’re sure the director won’t fully waste the actor’s good looks on a zombie-fied monster with bolts in his neck — or maybe he will. Who knows?
