Robert Eggers‘ upcoming period gothic folk-horror film, Werwulf, has received a second trailer. The movie also features Lily-Rose Depp, the daughter of Johnny Depp.
The second trailer for Werwulf dropped on September 26, 2026. Interestingly, the trailer launch date has been perfectly timed to coincide with the September full moon. This is not new, as the previous one also dropped on a full moon day in June.
The new trailer shows some absolutely terrifying scenes involving Depp, Willem Dafoe, and others. Incidentally, both Depp and Dafoe have previously worked with Eggers in the critically acclaimed project, Nosferatu.
Previously, Eggers detailed why he wanted to sync the trailers with the full moon. The filmmaker told Empire, back in June 2026, “For the werewolf nerds out there, it’s commonly stated that the full moon’s connection to werewolves began in cinema. But I found a very, very old English text – older than the period of the film – that does say that werewolves are affected by the cycle of the moon. And there is also some stuff in some Icelandic literature. So… I went for it.”
