Aaron Taylor‑Johnson and Robert Eggers Reunite for Gothic Horror Werwulf

A Reunion of Cinematic Dark Arts
Taylor-Johnson and Eggers previously collaborated on Nosferatu, the 2024 reimagining of the silent horror classic, where Eggers’ unique cinematic language and Taylor‑Johnson’s intense presence created a compelling dynamic. Now, with Werwulf, they aim to take horror storytelling to new depths—this time, exploring werewolf mythology through a uniquely historical and psychological lens.
“I wanted to make a horror film about transformation—not just the body, but the soul,” Eggers reportedly said in early press notes.
What Is Werwulf About?
Details are tightly under wraps, but early sources suggest:
- The film will blend Norse folklore and medieval Christianity, following a tormented soldier returning home from war—haunted by literal and metaphorical demons.
- Set in early 11th-century Europe, it will depict a psychological descent as the protagonist grapples with guilt, bloodlust, and lycanthropy.
- The tone is said to be raw, gritty, and operatic, drawing comparisons to The Witcher, The Revenant, and The Seventh Seal.
Eggers will once again reunite with his frequent collaborators, including cinematographer Jarin Blaschke and production designer Craig Lathrop, ensuring the film’s authentic historical texture and eerie atmosphere.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson: From Action to Art-Horror
Best known for his roles in Kick-Ass, Nocturnal Animals, and Kraven the Hunter, Taylor‑Johnson has steadily carved out a space in character-driven, genre-blending films. His pairing with Eggers signals a deliberate shift toward more cerebral, experimental cinema.
“I trust Robert’s vision completely. Werwulf is raw, brutal, and beautiful—and unlike anything I’ve done,” Taylor‑Johnson shared in a brief interview with IndieWire.
When Can Fans Expect It?
Werwulf is expected to begin filming by early 2026, with a release tentatively eyed for late 2026 or early 2027, distributed by A24—Eggers’ longtime studio partner.
