Sharing how he confronted the role and began to see himself in it, the 52-year-old reveals, “But a test for me is always, ‘Can I ignore something? Can I forget about it? Can I throw it away?’ And it just really lingered with me. It had such great fiery, electric moments throughout it. I just couldn’t forget about it.”
Apart from the two leads, the film stars Peter Sarsgaard, Annette Bening, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Penélope Cruz.

These include director of photography Lawrence Sher, production designer Karen Murphy, editor Dylan Tichenor, music supervisor Randall Poster, composer Hildur Gudnadóttir, and costume designer Sandy Powell.
About The Bride story
The film is based on Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, and follows the infamous Frankenstein’s monster, Frank (Christian Bale), as she goes back to Dr. Euphronius and asks him for a partner. With only loneliness leading his path, the ever-so emotional monster needs a companion, and he creates one with the doctor. They breathe life into a murdered woman, giving rise to The Bride (Jessie Buckley). The two then set out on an unimagined path of destruction and chaos, but their love surpasses it all.
American Gothic romance film The Bride is all set to release globally on March 6, 2026, across theaters.
