The cast also includes Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, Felix Kammerer, and others, contributing to what is described as a star-studded lineup. Fans and critics alike are excited, with many expressing that the film deserves a theatrical release due to del Toro's renowned directorial style. The project was featured during Netflix’s global fan event Tudum and is highly anticipated for its unique take on the gothic and science fiction classic.
