Jean expressed his excitement on Instagram, stating, “When Guillermo del Toro asked me to create the poster for Frankenstein, I could not have been more honored.” This sentiment reflects the high expectations surrounding the film, which del Toro describes as the culmination of his artistic vision.
The print features a striking depiction of the Creature, portrayed by Jacob Elordi, with skin flayed open to reveal a floral bloom, symbolizing themes of life and death central to Mary Shelley’s classic narrative.
