Frankenstein' director Guillermo del Toro told PEOPLE at the Toronto International Film Festival that he wasn't 'daunted' by Jacob Elordi's looks when casting him as the Creature.

Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein hits select theaters on October 17 before it drops on streaming for those with a Netflix subscription on November 7. With its cool "newborn, alabaster" look and those "aerodynamic" scars, it seems way more like a living piece of art than just another monster movie. I’m really excited for it to come out!

Del Toro exclusively previews to EW what the "Euphoria" star's creature body looks like: "The hues are pale but almost translucent. It feels like a newborn soul."
