Werwulf Trailer Reported To Be Set For Full Moon Reveal

A brief leak of official promo art followed by reports of a full‑moon trailer suggests Focus Features is staging a staggered marketing push ahead of the film’s Christmas release.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Focus Features is expected to release the first public Werwulf trailer on June 29 to align with the full moon, with the footage likely a version of material screened at CinemaCon in April.
  • An official promo image briefly appeared on the film’s merchandise page on the NBC Store and was subsequently removed, a development outlets describe as either a premature leak or an early-stage rollout.
  • Robert Eggers co-wrote Werwulf with Sjón and returns to medieval horror with a cast that includes Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Lily-Rose Depp, Willem Dafoe, Ralph Ineson, and Bodhi Rae Breathnach.
  • The production was shot on 35mm film in a 1.37:1 aspect ratio and uses period-authentic dialogue, choices that underline Eggers’s art-house historical approach while aiming for a wide theatrical release.
  • Circulated set photos showing a feral, bloodied Taylor-Johnson and an altered-looking Lily-Rose Depp have stirred speculation about how the werewolf will be portrayed, but specifics of the monster remain unconfirmed by the studio.
