""Here Comes the Motherfucking Bride" is the tagline from this first teaser trailer for Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Bride!, which stars Jessie Buckley as the titular (yet nameless) undead creation brought to life as an eternal companion for Frankenstein's monster ( Christian Bale). And it certainly sets a tone for what looks to be an ambitious, wild, and feminist take on Mary Shelley's classic horror tale."
"The Bride! is Gyllenhaal's second film as writer and director, following her acclaimed debut with 2021's Oscar-nominated The Lost Daughter (which also starred Buckley). Set in 1930s Chicago, the movie is one of two big Frankenstein projects on the horizon, with Guillermo del Toro's own long-awaited take making the award show circuit this fall before premiering on Netflix in November. That Frankenstein, though, isn't rumored to be a musical, with del Toro appearing to go for a more straightforward approach than Gyllenhaal's."
Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Bride! centers on Jessie Buckley as an unnamed undead companion created for Frankenstein's monster, played by Christian Bale. The film projects an ambitious, wild, and feminist tone and is set in 1930s Chicago. The Bride! is Gyllenhaal's second feature as writer-director, following her 2021 film The Lost Daughter, which also starred Buckley. The movie arrives alongside another high-profile Frankenstein project from Guillermo del Toro, with del Toro's version taking a more straightforward, non-musical approach and premiering on Netflix later. Warner Bros. moved The Bride!'s release to March 6, 2026, and a teaser trailer has been released.
