The Bride! Teaser and Art with Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale

Warner Bros. Pictures has released the official teaser trailer and teaser art for The Bride!, which is set to hit theaters on March 6, 2026. The film has been rated R by the Motion Picture Association (MPA) for strong/bloody violent content, sexual content/nudity, and language.

From Maggie Gyllenhaal (Academy Award-nominated writer/director of The Lost Daughter) and starring Academy Award nominee Jessie Buckley and Academy Award winner Christian Bale comes The Bride! The film is a bold, iconoclastic take on one of the world’s most compelling stories.

In the film, a lonely Frankenstein (Christian Bale) travels to 1930s Chicago to ask groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious (five-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening) to create a companion for him.

The two revive a murdered young woman, and The Bride (Jessie Buckley) is born. What ensues is beyond what either of them imagined: Murder! Possession! A wild and radical cultural movement! And outlaw lovers in a wild and combustible romance!

The film stars Buckley, Bale, Peter Sarsgaard, with Bening, Academy Award nominee Jake Gyllenhaal, and Oscar winner Penélope Cruz.

Maggie Gyllenhaal directs from her own screenplay and produces alongside Oscar nominee Emma Tillinger Koskoff, Talia Kleinhendler, and Osnat Handelsman Keren. The executive producers are Carla Raij, David Webb, and Courtney Kivowitz.

Gyllenhaal is supported behind the camera by a team of award-winning film artisans, including director of photography Lawrence Sher, production designer Karen Murphy, editor Dylan Tichenor, music supervisor Randall Poster, composer Hildur Gudnadóttir, and costume designer Sandy Powell.

Warner Bros. Pictures is presenting a First Love Films / In The Current Company production. The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures in theaters and IMAX in North America on March 6, 2026, and internationally beginning on March 4, 2026.
