Maggie Gyllenhaal's 'The Bride' Delayed to Spring 2026 in Warner Bros. Schedule Overhaul
The highly anticipated Frankenstein-inspired film moves to March 6, 2026, as part of a strategic reshuffling to optimize release timing and avoid competition.
- 'The Bride,' directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal and starring Christian Bale and Jessie Buckley, shifts from September 2025 to March 6, 2026.
- The delay is part of Warner Bros.' broader slate adjustment ahead of CinemaCon 2025, impacting several high-profile films.
- The move positions 'The Bride' away from Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein film, set to release on Netflix in November 2025.
- Set in 1930s Chicago, the film offers a steampunk twist on the Frankenstein tale, drawing inspiration from James Whale's 1935 classic and Mary Shelley's novel.
- Paul Thomas Anderson’s 'One Battle After Another,' starring Leonardo DiCaprio, takes over the original September 2025 release slot.
