Since the release of The Witch in 2015, Robert Eggers has become one of today’s most acclaimed filmmakers. Films such as The Lighthouse, The Northman, and Nosferatu, which mix historical realism with gothic imagery, have made him a favorite among critics and audiences. With Werwulf set for release on Christmas Day 2026, the director is already lining up his next film, and it appears he will put his own spin on one of the most iconic love stories ever written.
