Mia Goth reveals she has discussed a potential sequel or continuation of Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein with the director, specifically mentioning the Bride of Frankenstein. Goth reflects on her experience working on the film and the challenges a sequel would face. The article also mentions the film's success and critical reception.
Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein has quickly become one of the year’s most talked-about films, and with its critical and streaming success, speculation about where the story could go next is already swirling.
At the Palm Springs Film Festival, Mia Goth revealed that fans aren’t the only ones thinking about what a continuation might look like — she’s brought it up with del Toro herself. Speaking to Collider’s Aidan Kelley, Goth first reflected on what it was like being cast by del Toro in not one, but two roles. She told Collider: “Yeah. Well, I mean, when Guillermo del Toro calls you just with one role, that's an honor, let alone with two. I mean, I was totally beside myself, really and incredibly nervous and very excited, and the entire experience was just very, very special, wonderful, wonderful.” With the film’s momentum building, Kelley asked about the long-rumored possibility of adapting the Bride of Frankenstein — a natural next step, at least on paper. Goth confirmed she didn’t wait for the question to be asked. “I did bring that up to him, and he said, 'But Victor Frankenstein is dead',” she explained. That simple response, she admitted, presents a pretty major hurdle. “That is an issue. That is definitely an issue overall.” Still, the fact that the conversation even happened is telling. Del Toro’s Frankenstein is very much a complete story, but Goth’s openness to continuing the world — and her creative rapport with the filmmaker — suggests that if del Toro ever finds a way forward, she’d clearly be game. How Good Is 'Frankenstein'? Collider's Ross Bonaime stated in his review that Frankenstein represents the culmination of Guillermo del Toro’s decades-long obsession with Mary Shelley’s novel, finally realized as a lavish, deeply personal passion project. The film is visually stunning and arguably the most epic work of del Toro’s career, with striking production design, creature effects, and a sympathetic, emotionally rich performance from Jacob Elordi as the monster. However, that devotion to the source material and to del Toro’s own long-gestating ideas works against the film at times. Bonaime wrote: "Like a lot of passion projects from great directors, it is truly great to see del Toro finally get to make the film he wanted. No, this isn’t at the Megalopolis level of director passion projects, but it’s also not Mad Max: Fury Road either. Del Toro’s care and appreciation for this story go a long way and make this an intriguing watch, even though the pacing is very rough around the edges. At the post-screening Q&A, del Toro said that finally making Frankenstein felt like the end of an era for him, and while it’s lovely that he got to bring his creature to life, Frankenstein makes us ready to see what his next creation could behold." Frankenstein is streaming now on Netflix.
