New Frankenstein movie delayed until 2026 as Julia Garner horror moves up release date

The much-anticipated musical adaptation titled “The Bride,” reminiscent of Frankenstein, has had its premiere date rescheduled to the year 2026.

The forthcoming movie that blends music and monsters is a modern take on the 1935 film “Bride of Frankenstein,” originally based on Mary Shelley’s timeless novel from 1818, which chronicles the tale of the scientist in the title who dabbles with nature to construct a being.

In this movie, directed by Gyllenhaal, Christian Bale portrays the monster while Jessie Buckley plays his bride. The story unfolds in 1930s Chicago, where a deceased woman is resurrected during a period of significant societal transformation.

Originally scheduled for a theater debut in October, Variety reports that The Bride has been delayed until March 6, 2026. Consequently, this postponement allows it to steer clear of Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein adaptation, which is slated to stream on Netflix in November.

In the 1930s Chicago, Frankenstein petitions Dr. Euphronius to aid in crafting a companion. Together, they breathe life into a deceased woman, who becomes known as the Bride, leading to romantic entanglements, law enforcement scrutiny, and significant social upheaval – all summarized in the title “The Bride!“.

Apart from Bale and Buckley, this distinguished ensemble also features Penélope Cruz, Peter Sarsgaard, Annette Bening, John Magaro, Julianne Hough, Linda Emond, Louis Cancelmi, Matthew Maher, and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Due to a delay in “The Bride” movie’s release, Julia Garner’s upcoming film “Weapons” has moved ahead by more than five months. The new release date for “Weapons” is now August 8, instead of its original planned release in January 2026.

The movie, hailing from director Zach Cregger of “Barbarian” fame, weaves multiple tales within a tight-knit Florida town, that’s thrown into turmoil following the mysterious vanishing of a cluster of schoolchildren during the deepest hours of the night.

In addition to exploring themes such as “police corruption, generational trauma, witchcraft, blood rituals, and religious abuse,” the film Weapons also features an impressive cast including Josh Brolin, Alden Ehrenreich, Benedict Wong, Amy Madigan, Austin Abrams, and June Diane Raphael.

The upcoming film titled “The Bride” is set for release on March 6, 2026, while the movie named “Weapons” will premiere in cinemas on August 8.
