Guillermo del Toro wants all of the internet’s favorite actors for Netflix’s blockbuster take on ‘Frankenstein’

As a three-time Academy Award winner – as well as the only person in history to have won trophies for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Animated Feature – Guillermo del Toro is in the position of getting pretty much anyone he wants to star in his latest venture.

If the latest reports are to be taken at face value, he’s decided that he wants to gather all of the internet’s favorite actors together in one place to headline what’s sure to be a unique spin on Frankenstein. Rumors have been rumbling for while that del Toro was developing an adaptation of the iconic Mary Shelley tale for Netflix, and Deadline has named three top contenders sure to make the online sphere weak at the knees.

Andrew Garfield, Oscar Isaac, and Mia Goth are a trio of names who can always be relied upon to dominate the online conversation, so if you stick the three of them together and put a name like del Toro behind the camera, then you can only imagine what the reactions are going to be. Given their respective statuses, you’d expect them to tackle the three largest roles in the story, but who gets to be the monster and who plays the doctor?

You’d imagine Garfield would be the eccentric scientist concocting the ungodly experiments to sew together disparate body parts into a cohesive whole, if only for the fact it’s a lot easier to buy Isaac as his creation than flipping it the other way around. Then again, this is del Toro we’re talking about, so don’t discount the fact that the answer will be neither and he’ll simply adopt the “if it ain’t broke approach” and hire Doug Jones instead.
