Willem Dafoe is in negotiations to star in director Robert Eggers’ Werwulf
The 69-year-old actor – who previously worked with the filmmaker, 42, in The Lighthouse, The Northman and Nosferatu – is in negotiations to appear in Eggers’ upcoming horror flick, Deadline has said.
The Spider-Man star could be joining Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Lily Rose-Depp, who are also in talks to lead Werwulf.
Werwulf is being penned by Eggers’ The Northman co-writer Sjón, and is slated to hit cinemas on Christmas Day 2026 in the US.
The director and scribe are also due to produce with Focus Features alongside Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner, who will be producing under Working Title.
Meanwhile, Maiden Voyage’s Chris and Eleanor Columbus will serve as executive producers.
While plot details are unknown, Werwulf is expected to be a 13th-century werewolf horror flick set in England.
