Guillermo del Toro has finally had the opportunity to direct his own take on Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus thanks to his collaboration with Netflix. The new film has an incredible cast including Jacob Elordi as the iconic creation of Dr. Frankenstein.
Now, as fans can see below, a new look at Jacob Elordi in the new Frankenstein adaptation has leaked online. The image stems from the film’s Los Angeles premiere. While taking photos of the stage, an image of Jacob Elordi as the monster was on display, with fans seeing a new glimpse of his soulful eyes.
It’s an image that emphasizes the tragedy of Frankenstein rather than the horror. Of course, it doesn’t depict a complete look at Elordi as the character, but it’s an image that fully captures everything he’s supposed to convey as the tortured soul.
Here’s the image:
