‘Wolf Man’ Teaser Trailer Previews 2025 Universal Monster Movie

Following the success of 2020’s The Invisible Man, Universal Pictures is reteaming with Blumhouse for another resurrection of one of its classic monsters, with The Invisible Man‘s Leigh Whannell (Saw, Upgrade) directing Wolf Man, set to howl into theaters in early 2025, and the first official teaser trailer has just been released online.

We also have a new synopsis for the film: What if someone you loved became something else? Golden Globe nominee Christopher Abbott (Poor Things, It Comes at Night) stars as Blake, a San Francisco husband and father, who inherits his remote childhood home in rural Oregon after his own father vanishes and is presumed dead. With his marriage to his high-powered wife, Charlotte (played by Emmy winner Julia Garner; Ozark, Inventing Anna, Apartment 7A), fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger (Matlida Firth; Hullraisers, Coma).

But as the family approaches the farmhouse in the dead of night, they’re attacked by an unseen animal and, in a desperate escape, barricade themselves inside the home as the creature prowls the perimeter. As the night stretches on, however, Blake begins to behave strangely, transforming into something unrecognizable, and Charlotte will be forced to decide whether the terror within their house is more lethal than the danger without.

The film co-stars Sam Jaeger (The Handmaid’s Tale), Ben Prendergast (The Sojourn Audio Drama), and Benedict Hardie (The Invisible Man).

Leigh Whannell directs from a script he co-wrote with Corbett Tuck, as well as Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo. Jason Blum is producing the film.

The project was first announced back in 2020.

Universal Pictures will unleash Wolf Man in theaters on January 17, 2025.

Universal’s original film featuring Lawrence “Larry” Talbot, who is bitten by a creature of folklore and then turns into a werewolf, was 1941’s The Wolf Man starring the great Lon Chaney Jr. (pictured above), who reprised the role in (the first ever “shared universe” movie) Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943), House of Frankenstein (1944), House of Dracula (1945), and Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948). Most recently, director Joe Johnston gave us an excellent remake with 2010’s (Best Makeup Oscar Winner) The Wolfman. starring Benicio Del Toro.

Universal’s first werewolf film was actually Werewolf of London, starring Henry Hull, released in 1935.
