 Willem Dafoe Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Willem Dafoe has been riding a decidedly eclectic wave of publicity, creative activity, and even playful speculation in recent days, underscoring why he remains one of Hollywood’s most unpredictable and magnetic talents. The biggest headline is that Dafoe is finally returning to the English moors, literally—The Torbay Weekly confirms that principal photography for Robert Eggers’ medieval historical thriller Werwulf is now underway on Dartmoor, with Dafoe leading a cast that includes Lily-Rose Depp and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. The production, bankrolled by Universal Studios, will see the creation of two temporary medieval-style sets in protected areas, a move approved by local planners despite some traffic concerns. The shoot is expected to last 11 weeks, injecting significant revenue into the region and further burnishing Dartmoor’s cinematic pedigree—after all, this is the landscape that launched War Horse and hosted Harry Potter. Dafoe’s location manager, Alex Gladstone, has already gushed to the press about the warm welcome from Devon authorities and the hope that Werwulf will match the commercial and critical success of Eggers’ recent Nosferatu.

But Dafoe is never just one thing at a time. Just days ago, he was spotted at the 69th BFI London Film Festival for the premiere of The Souffleur alongside director Gastón Solnicki, according to Rex Features. While details about the film remain under wraps, Dafoe’s presence on the international festival circuit is a reminder that even as he headlines a studio tentpole, he remains committed to the global indie scene.

Over in Italy, Dafoe’s growing influence extends beyond the screen. As Artistic Director of the 2025 Biennale Teatro, he’s shaping a deeply personal, body-centered festival lineup—a mix of avant-garde pioneers like the Wooster Group (with whom he spent nearly three decades) and bold new voices. Dafoe’s opening statement for the Biennale program is a lyrical ode to theater as “body, poetry, and ritual,” reflecting a lifetime of cross-disciplinary experimentation and a desire to spotlight artists who, like him, transcend easy categorization.

On the lighter side, Emma Stone went viral after jokingly suggesting on The Late Show that Dafoe might be “an alien secretly posing as a human.” It’s the kind of cheeky pop-culture moment that reminds us Dafoe’s mystique is as much a part of his brand as his Oscar nominations.

There’s no major business news or social media splash from Dafoe himself—he’s famously guarded about his private life and maintains a dignified distance from the endless scroll—but the past few days have seen a burst of high-profile production, festival, and arts leadership activity. For fans hungry for the next chapter: Werwulf is now Dafoe’s centerstage project, but history suggests another left turn is always just around the corner.
