UPDATE: During a live interview at the Palm Springs Film Festival, actress Mia Goth addressed the intense speculation about a potential sequel to Guillermo del Toro’s acclaimed adaptation of Frankenstein, confirming that discussions have taken place but face significant hurdles.
In a candid moment with Collider, Goth revealed her conversation with del Toro regarding the continuation of the story. When she inquired about a sequel, he responded, “But Victor Frankenstein is dead.” Goth acknowledged the challenges this presents, stating, “That is definitely an issue overall.”
The excitement surrounding the film, which premiered in limited theaters on October 17, 2025, has sparked significant interest in a sequel. Goth expressed her gratitude for being cast in two pivotal roles — Elizabeth Harlander and Claire Frankenstein. “When Guillermo del Toro calls you just with one role, that’s an honor, let alone with two,” she said, adding that the experience was “wonderful, wonderful.”
Despite the enthusiasm for a sequel, del Toro has emphasized that the current film serves as a complete narrative. He referred to making Frankenstein as “the end of an era” for him, indicating that there are no immediate plans for a follow-up. The film, featuring Jacob Elordi as the Creature, has garnered strong critical acclaim for its intricate set design and practical creature effects.
While there have been no official announcements from del Toro regarding a Frankenstein 2, Goth’s remarks suggest that the idea has not been completely dismissed. “It’s a huge honor to work with him, and every moment is special,” she added, hinting at the emotional weight of the project.
As fans eagerly await more news, the film is currently available for streaming on Netflix. The anticipation for a sequel continues to grow, fueled by both critical success and audience enthusiasm.
Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story as the future of the Bride of Frankenstein hangs in the balance.
