  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nJessie Buckley's _The Bride_ is a must-watch **2026 movie**. The actress is my current front-runner for the Best Actress **Oscar** thanks to her absolutely soul-destroying role in **_Hamnet_**. She embodies so much joy and grief in the role in a way that I've literally never seen before, and even though I've always known she's talented, her new movies are really solidifying her as an unbeatable talent. And up next? _The Bride_ opposite Christian Bale. The movie is a brand new, sexy, and unexpected take on Frankenstein that anyone who loves a creative story will absolutely eat up. Keep reading for everything you need to know.\n\n* * *\n\n## Here's the latest update on _The Bride_ starring Jessie Buckley before it hits theaters on March 6, 2026.\n\n### What is the plot of The Bride?\n\n\n\n\nWriter-director Maggie Gyllenhaal's _The Bride_ is Frankenstein meets Bonnie and Clyde. The movie follows Frankenstein (Christian Bale), who sets out for 1930s Chicago on a mission: find a companion. With the help of Dr. Euphronious (Annette Bening), he revives the body of a murdered young woman to become his bride.\n\nBut according to the official synopsis, the adventure that follows \"is beyond what either of them imagined: Murder! Possession! A wild and radical cultural movement! And outlaw lovers in a wild and combustible romance!\"\n\nIt feels like an absolutely singular vision for telling a story we _think_ we know, with performances and a plot that will be the talk of the town. I can already feel the 2027 Oscar nominations!\n\nAnd the actors definitely put in a ton of work. Christian Bale was in makeup for six hours every day, and told _**Variety**_ , \"I would scream like crazy, every day. Just to [release the] despair, all of that restraint that you have to display when you’re sitting still for that long.\"\n\nMeanwhile, “the hardest scene, just because I actually broke my toe, was like the last week of shooting, and I was so tired,” Jessie told _**Entertainment Weekly**_. “[In the scene] there was this gun firing, and I just overextended my toe by falling backwards too many times. And I had to come in and do the scene the next day, and my toe was the size of a tree.”\n\n### When is The Bride coming out?\n\n\n\n\n_The Bride_ hits theaters on March 6, 2026.\n\n### Who's starring with Jessie Buckley in The Bride?\n\n\n\n\n_The Bride_ cast has some amazing names alongside Jessie Buckley. Christian Bale, Peter Sarsgaard, Annette Bening, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Penélope Cruz also star.\n\n### Is The Bride 2025 a remake?\n\n\n\n\n_The Bride_ is a creative take on the iconic story of Frankenstein. So it's not necessarily a direct sequel to any existing story, but it's definitely part of the Frankenstein world, and can serve as a remake of the 1935 movie _The Bride of Frankenstein_ (with a 2026 twist, of course).\n\n### Is Jake Gyllenhaal in The Bride?\n\n\n\n\nYes, Jake Gyllenhaal is starring in _The Bride_! The movie is written and directed by his sister Maggie Gyllenhaal and I love knowing these two siblings can work together so well.\n\n**Stay tuned for more updates on _The Bride_ before it hits theaters next month, and check out our email newsletter for more movie news!**",
