WERWULF Footage Reaction Video - CinemaCon 2026
During their big CinemaCon presentation, Universal Pictures shared the first footage from director Robert Eggers’ Werwulf, which stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson. This movie looks unlike any werewolf movie we’ve seen before, and this is our reaction to what we witnessed.
Werwulf marks Eggers’ return to Focus Features after the massive success of Nosferatu. He’s sticking close to the genre that has become his signature with another dark tale, co-written with his The Northman writing partner Sjón.
As the title suggests, this is a full-on werewolf movie set in 13th century England. Story details are still under wraps, but the script is described as containing “dialogue that was true to the time period and has translations and annotations for those uninitiated to Old English.”
Werwulf is slated to release on Christmas Day 2026
