Pride and Prejudice star Rupert Friend will headline a chilling new horror film from Frankenstein director Guillermo del Toro and Netflix.

The British actor played George Wickham in Joe Wright's 2005 adaptation of the Jane Austen novel.

He's also recognised for his performances in major productions including The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and Asteroid City, and most recently featured in Disney+'s Obi-Wan Kenobi series.

Friend is set to star in The Boy in the Iron Box for Netflix, which draws from the Amazon Original Stories novella series by del Toro and Chuck Hogan.

Writer-director David Prior, who was behind the 2020 cult horror film The Empty Man, will helm the forthcoming feature, reports the Mirror . View 4 Images READ MORE : 'Harrowing' UK documentary added to Netflix
