Guillermo del Toroâs âFrankensteinâ proves Hollywood has longed for Oscar Isaac
The Oscar Isaac renaissance is upon us thanks to a new promo still for Netflix's 'Frankenstein' remake.
A trueâand sorely neededâOscar Isaac renaissance is upon us, and all it took was one peek at Guillermo del Toroâs upcoming Netflix collaboration, Frankenstein.

Look, Iâve known I would be a freak about 2025âs Frankenstein from the start, as Guillermo del Toro + Oscar Isaac = my personal Super Bowl Sunday. The film has been decades in the making, with del Toro first mentioning the idea of directing a âMiltonian tragedyâ take on Mary Shelleyâs Frankenstein in 2007. Now, his vision will finally come to fruition thanks to the folks at Netflix, and from the look of it, weâre in for aâliterallyâdead sexy take on the classic creature flick.
Who better to portray Frankensteinâs title character than one of Hollywoodâs most underutilized actors, Oscar Isaac? The Star Wars alum will play the mad scientist, Dr. Victor Frankenstein, alongside certifiable scream queen Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, and Ralph Ineson. As for The Monster himself, Jacob Elordi will be taking on the role. There was an early version of the script that saw Andrew Garfield playing Frankensteinâs Monster, and all I can say is ⦠we were robbed. At least Elordi is 6â5 and can capture the creatureâs lanky and imposing vibe, I guess?
After wrapping production in September, audiences got a first look at Frankenstein during Netflixâs big 2025 preview showcase in the last week of January, where attendees got to watch the iconic scene where Dr. Frankensteinâs experiment comes to life. Based on the description of the footage, Iâm willing to bet that TikTok is about to be flooded with the same kind of Nosferatu-era Count Orlok thirst traps, this time with Elordiâs very tall and very brooding Monster, probably set to Lana Del Reyâs âRide.â
So when I saw that Netflix had released a still of Isaacâs Frankenstein character earlier this week, the first thing that came to mindâwell, second if you consider âHis waist looks SO snatched!â to be a real, fleshed-out thoughtâwas this: Where has he been hiding? âCause I, for one, will be enjoying my Oscar Isaac/Dr. Frankenstein edits, thank you very much.
Isaac has been strangely absent from the film/TV landscape in recent years, as his last major performance was his voiceover role as Miguel OâHara in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse in 2023. He did make a quick cameo as Moon Knight, his Marvel Cinematic Universe character (the good Marvel characterâsorry not sorry, X-Men: Apocalypse), for an episode of Marvelâs What Ifâ¦? in December, but really, he hasnât shown his face much since his Scenes from a Marriage/Dune: Part One era, which should probably be considered a war crime.
A Hollywood without Oscar Isaac is a dark and desolate place. I mean, a quick look at his resumé shows that outside of his franchise roles in Star Wars, the MCU, and Dune, Isaac has a keen eye for picking jobs. His portrayal of Paul Gauguin in Julian Schnabelâs understated At Eternityâs Gate showcases his range as a drama actor while his turn as an eccentric, Bob Dylan-esque folk singer in 2013âs Inside Llewyn Davis continues to be one of my favorite Coen brothers performances of all time. Isaac is such an energetic, versatile actor, and I really hope Frankenstein encourages casting agents to put him in as many projects as humanly possible.
Despite his nearly 30-year career in the industry, I canât help but feel like Hollywood hasnât taken Isaac all that seriously since his Star Wars sequel trilogy days, and thatâs a real shame. Still, he did admit to wanting to take a break from acting following the mixed responses to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in 2019, so Iâm willing to bet that his (albeit, delayed) sabbatical was taken entirely by choice. In any case, it seems like Isaac is back for the foreseeable futureâa future that I embrace wholeheartedly.
