Dafoe has become the director’s muse of late, having previously appeared in his past three films: The Lighthouse, The Northman and Nosferatu. The two are also looking to work together on a new retelling of A Christmas Carol at Warner Bros. that has Eggers directing and Dafoe in early talks to star.

Willem Dafoe might be joining forces with Robert Eggers once again for another period horror film, this time in the form of Werwulf.

Nosferatu was one of the best horror films of 2024. With an impressive cast which included Bill Skarsgård, Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, and more, there was no way the gothic horror flick could go wrong.
