Not too much is known about Robert Eggers upcoming Werwulf movie, but a new photo featuring star Aaron Taylor-John shows off how he might look in the movie.

Taylor-Johnson was recently spotted in new photos, and is sporting a relatively shaggy look. Not only is his hair longer, but Taylor-Johnson is also sporting a fairly sizable beard as well. It’s unclear how he’ll look in Werwulf, though, but due to the nature of the movie, fans have theorized it is connected.

Check out the look below:

What do we know about Werwulf?

Alongside Taylor-Johnson, Werwulf will also reportedly star Lily-Rose Depp and Willem Dafoe, two other stars who have previously starred in projects directed by Eggers.

According to a Q&A Eggers took part in at the Lincoln Center, the director himself said that his upcoming Werwulf will be the “darkest thing” he’s ever written. The movie is currently slated to release on December 25, 2026.

Details for the project are mostly unknown as of now, but the project will be set in 13th-century England, and much like Eggers’ other projects, will feature dialogue and settings accurate to the period. Original rumors suggested the film would be in black and white, according to THR, but that won’t be the case.

Prior to the announcement of Werwulf, rumors suggested that Eggers had been tapped to direct a new Labyrinth movie. Eggers himself has also spoken about wanting to make a medieval movie known right now as The Knight, as well as one day hoping to make a Western film. He’s also been rumored to be working on a miniseries about Grigori Rasputin, the Russian mystic and faith healer.
