Christian Bale has come alive in his new role as Frankenstein’s monster.

Maggie Gyllenhaal’s newest film, called “The Bride!,” is currently in production and stars Oscar winner Bale, 50, and Jessie Buckley, 34.

Gyllenhaal, 46, shared photos on social media of the actors in character, donning their dark and twisted looks, on Thursday.

The snaps, from a camera test, show Bale with slicked-back hair, fake stitching all over his body and wearing a ratty suit.

Buckley sports a bright icy-blond wig, dark burgundy lipstick and paint splattered on her face.

Penélope Cruz, Peter Sarsgaard and Annette Bening are also starring in the Warner Bros. thriller, with the film set for an October 2025 release.

The story follows Buckley as a young woman who is murdered and brought back to life in 1930s Chicago, playing the eponymous bride.

The movie reunites the “Fargo” star with Gyllenhaal, who directed her in 2021’s “The Lost Daughter.”

“The Bride!” is the “Mona Lisa Smile” actress’ second directorial feature.

Buckley opened up to IndieWire last month about working with Gyllenhaal once again.

“It is beyond my wildest dreams getting to go back and work with [Gyllenhaal] again. We really fell in love working on ‘The Lost Daughter,’” the Irish actor gushed. “I feel so grateful that I get to be part of a coin of extraordinary women who have so much to say, such brilliant minds, and such imagination.”

Sarsgaard — who married Gyllenhaal in 2009 — also discussed his wife’s new flick with the Independent recently.

The “Garden State” star, 53, dished that “The Bride!” is a “big, romantic, deeply romantic, wild, punk monster movie.”

“I think it’s going to be energizing! It’s rambunctious! People are going to be very surprised that this is Maggie’s second movie. It is nothing at all like ‘The Lost Daughter,'” he said.

Another incarnation of the Frankenstein lore is also currently in the works, with Guillermo del Toro filming one for Netflix.

Jacob Elordi will star as the green monster, with Oscar Isaac as his creator, Victor Frankenstein, alongside Mia Goth, Charles Dance and Christoph Waltz.
