Jacob Elordi to Lead an All-Star Cast in Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Frankenstein’ on Netflix, Replaces Andrew Garfield Due to Scheduling Conflicts

Netflix’s highly anticipated adaptation of the iconic novel ‘Frankenstein,’ helmed by none other than Academy award-winning director Guillermo del Toro, has wasted no time in creating ripples throughout the entertainment industry with its star-studded lineup. Incoming cast members include Jacob Elordi, Christoph Waltz, Felix Kammerer, Lars Mikkelsen, David Bradley, and Christian Convery, who will all play key roles in the reimagined horror classic.

The role of Frankenstein’s monster, an icon engrained in pop culture, is set to be depicted by accomplished young actor Jacob Elordi who has already showcased his acting prowess in numerous projects. Elordi’s casting comes after Andrew Garfield, initially slated for the role, had to withdraw due to clashes with other engagements predominantly prompted by strike-related delays.

Jacob Elordi, celebrated for his roles in HBO’s ‘Euphoria’ and Netflix’s ‘The Kissing Booth,’ is expected to offer a fresh take on the legendary monster, a role he was offered after Andrew Garfield had to drop out. Due to strike postponements which fomented scheduling conflicts, Garfield had no choice other than to step aside and vacate the seat for Elordi.
