Cast

Production

In January 2025, it was announced that a horror film written and directed by Robert Eggers titled Werwulf was in development, which was co-written by Sjón, who had previously worked with Eggers in The Northman (2022). The film would be set in 13th-century England, and would feature Middle English.[2] Eggers went on to say that Werwulf was the darkest script he had ever written.[3]

In July 2025, Aaron Taylor-Johnson joined the cast as the title character, with Lily-Rose Depp, Willem Dafoe, and Ralph Ineson in talks to join. Working Title Films, along with its producers Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner, would also join the project.[4][5][6]

Filming

Principal photography began on September 8, 2025, with production beginning at Sky Studios Elstree, England.[7][8][9] Filming will also occur at Bourne Wood in Surrey for one week starting November 13. Jarin Blaschke serves as the cinematographer, after previously working with Eggers on his previous films.[10]

Filming is expected at sites on Dartmoor in late 2025, with sets set to be constructed between Widecombe and Postbridge.[11]

Release

Werwulf is scheduled to be released in the United States by Focus Features on December 25, 2026.[2]
