Andrew Garfield left Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein mainly due to scheduling conflicts that arose after Hollywood strikes and a busy slate. He has publicly said he was disappointed to step away from the project, but he could not commit to the demanding schedule required for the Creature, and the role ultimately went to Jacob Elordi. Del Toro and Garfield both spoke positively about each other, with Garfield expressing enthusiasm for Elordi and the project’s continued potential.
