In 1935, Elsa Lanchester played the famous Bride of Frankenstein in the Boris Karloff film of the same name, instantly becoming a timeless horror icon. But Gyllenhaal, who first got the idea for the film after being captivated by a man’s tattoo of the Bride, sees potential for that character to become something never seen before on the big screen.

Warner Bros. gave a first look at Maggie Gyllenhaal's 'The Bride' at CinemaCon, the Frankenstein movie with a punk spin.

Warner Bros. recently confirmed that it would be pushing the release date on Gyllenhaal’s Frankenstein pic ‘The Bride’ from Sept. 26, 2025, to March 6, 2026.
