Who directed frankenstein 2025?

Frankenstein, released in 2025, is an American Gothic science‑fiction horror film that is both written and directed by Guillermo del Toro. The story follows the life of Victor Frankenstein, an egotistical scientist whose experiment in creating new life results in dangerous consequences. The film stars Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as the Creature, with Mia Goth and Christoph Waltz in supporting roles. Del Toro had long imagined a faithful adaptation of Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel as a "dream project," and he ultimately brought that vision to the screen as both writer and director. The film is produced by Universal Pictures and is part of the studio’s broader Dark Universe initiative, although the project was originally suspended before being revived for this 2025 release.
