Dafoe joins his Nosferatu co-stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Lily-Rose Depp in the upcoming film, which is titled Werwulf. Other than the fact that it's set in the medieval era, plot details are still being kept firmly under wraps, including the characters the recently announced cast members will be playing.

Johnson, who starred in director Robert Eggers’ stylish vampire hit, is set to re-team with the filmmaker for his next film, “Werwulf.” Lily-Rose Depp, who led the 2024 gothic horror film, is also in talks to join the project.

In “Nosferatu,” Taylor-Johnson played Friedrich Harding, a wealthy shipbuilder who does not heed Thomas and Ellen Hutter’s warnings that their German town has fallen under the curse of the vampire Count Orlok until it is too late.
