Jacob Elordi has joined the cast of Guillermo del Toro's upcoming Frankenstein adaptation for Netflix. Elordi is replacing Andrew Garfield, who exited the project due to scheduling conflicts, as Frankenstein's Monster.

Elordi became well acquainted with audiences in his role as Noah Flynn in Netflix's teen romance series The Kissing Booth, as well as gaining further recognition for his portrayal of Nate Jacobs in the HBO series Euphoria alongside the likes of fellow big-name up-and-comers Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney.

Del Toro is reportedly planning to start shooting his long-gestating project in February. Elordi will join a cast that already includes Oscar Isaac, Christoph Waltz and Mia Goth.

Netflix announced a slew of other casting news for the big-budget film, which will also star Oscar Isaac as the title character, alongside horror's newest scream queen, Mia Goth, who is also on her own path to A-list stardom following his roles in Pearl and X.

The project has been a dream of Del Toro’s for many years, and recently indicated technology has only gotten to a point now where he can fully realise his vision. The filmmaker is coming off his Oscar-winning animated "Pinocchio" adaptation.
