Aaron Taylor-Johnson has officially signed on to Robert Eggers‘ (Nosferatu) Werwulf. Lily-Rose Depp is currently in talks to join.

The filmmaker co-wrote the screenplay for Werwulf alongside Sjón, the Icelandic poet and novelist who previously co-wrote the Viking movie The Northman with Eggers.

Eggers has previously teased that its the darkest thing he’s ever written, saying, “It’s a medieval werewolf movie. And it’s also the darkest thing I’ve ever written. By far.”

Chris Columbus, who produced Nosferatu, is on board to produce Werwulf.

Werwulf is set to release Christmas Day 2026.
