Guillermo del Toro's next big screen outing has been highly anticipated since it was first announced, and now, after what feels like years, Netflix has released a first-look image at Oscar Isaac as Dr. Victor Frankenstein in del Toro's reimagining of Mary Shelley's classic novel.

It may be just a slither, but it feels like the whole cake finally getting to see something from the film that boasts an all-star cast made up of BAFTA and Emmy nominees, as well as Academy Award winners and exciting up-and-comers, including Mia Goth, Ralph Ineson, Christoph Waltz, Jacob Elordi, Charles Dance, Burn Gorman, and David Bradley, who star alongside Isaac in this contemporary twist on the gothic tale.
