このコンテンツについて
Over the past few days, Willem Dafoe has quietly continued one of the most intriguingly varied late-career chapters in Hollywood. In long-range news with real biographical weight, multiple industry reports, including Comic Basics via IMDb, confirm that Dafoe is reuniting yet again with director Robert Eggers for Werwulf, a dark werewolf tale set in 13th century England and slated for Christmas Day 2026. The project, still cloaked in plot secrecy, is being billed as one of Eggers bloodiest films and extends their ongoing creative partnership, which has already defined a major phase of Dafoes mature work. Parade and other outlets also report that Eggers is developing a new adaptation of A Christmas Carol with Dafoe eyed to play Ebenezer Scrooge; that project is still in the scripting and packaging stage, so casting remains probable but not fully locked and should be treated as informed but not final.
On the theatre front, Dafoes role as artistic director of the 2025 Theatre Biennale in Venice is now shifting from announcement to lived reality. The Theatre Times details his curatorial manifesto for the Biennale under the banner Theatre is Body. Body is Poetry, emphasizing human presence and endurance at a moment dominated by artificial intelligence. That appointment, spanning the 2025 and 2026 seasons as confirmed by Hauser and Wirths biography note, is arguably one of the most important late-career pivots of his life, placing him not just as performer but as global tastemaker in experimental theatre.
In Los Angeles and New York cultural circles, Dafoe is also back with his longtime collaborators The Wooster Group. Hauser and Wirth and Eventbrite list him as a featured guest for Sugar High, a high-end salon conversation built around the Groups production Symphony of Rats, where Dafoe joins Elizabeth LeCompte and Kate Valk to discuss the companys history and his foundational role in it. That public appearance underlines how his avant-garde theatre roots are being woven back into his public image.
Commercially, MediaPost reports that Laphroaig Scotch Whisky has tapped Dafoe for its ongoing Unphorgettable campaign, a piece of premium-brand casting that both trades on and reinforces his status as a singular, slightly off-kilter icon.
Most recently, the Venice Biennale has pushed Dafoe into the audio space in a new way. La Biennale on Airs third podcast episode, released this week, features Willem Dafoe offering a personal tribute to Pier Paolo Pasolini, reflecting on his relationship to the directors films after having portrayed Pasolini on screen. That appearance, coming as he serves as Director of Biennale Teatro, belongs squarely in the long-term biographical file: it captures Dafoe not only as actor, but as intellectual interlocutor with European cinema history.
Social media chatter in the last day has largely resurfaced older clips, including a decades-old video of Dafoe at 20 that went viral earlier this year; that wave is nostalgic rather than news and does not signal any new project. No major verified controversies or personal-life revelations have broken in the past 24 hours from established outlets, and any uncorroborated gossip circulating on fringe sites should be regarded as speculation, not fact.
