Warner Bros. and Maggie Gyllenhaal’s “Bride of Frankenstein” movie may not have an official title yet, but it does have more than a few noteworthy stars attached to it. Indeed, Deadline has revealed that the film will be led by Jessie Buckley, whose previous credits include “Chernobyl,” “Women Talking,” “I’m Thinking of Ending Things,” and “The Lost Daughter,” the latter of which was directed by Gyllenhaal. Buckley’s role in the “Bride of Frankenstein”-inspired film hasn’t yet been confirmed, but her status as its purported star suggests that she may very well play the undead woman at the center of it.
The film’s cast also includes “The Dark Knight” and “Ford v. Ferrari” actor Christian Bale, who has reportedly been in talks to star in the project alongside Buckley since before the start of the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, which put numerous Hollywood productions on hold for several months. In addition to Bale and Buckley, Annette Bening (“NYAD,” “20th Century Women”), Peter Sarsgaard (“Memory,” “The Batman”), and Penélope Cruz (“Ferrari,” “Volver”) are set to star in the movie as well.
Together, they form what is an already impressively star-studded ensemble. Movie fans will, however, have to wait until more details are revealed to learn who each of the performers is playing in the film.
