Frankenstein

Guillermo del Toro's upcoming 2025 Frankenstein adaptation aims for fidelity to Mary Shelley's novel, emphasizing gothic horror, tragedy, and themes of creation, rejection, and humanity. Diverse casting (Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein, Jacob Elordi as the Monster) reflects modern Hollywood norms but shows no signs of prioritizing identity politics, social justice messaging, or DEI over storytelling. No announced plot changes for progressive agendas; del Toro's focus remains on emotional depth and visual artistry, not preachiness. Minimal woke elements based on pre-release info.
