Christian Bale got his work week of to a rather grimy start while spotted on the New York City set of The Bride.
The 50-year-old actor shows off his incredible range once again, portraying Dr. Frankenstein’s Monster in the film.
Bale was spotted alongside director Maggie Gyllenhaal as production continued in New York City, nearly a month after the first-look images of Bale and Jessie Buckley debuted.
Bale stepped out in a unique trench coat that was primarily black but had sections of rusted brown seeping through.
He also wore a grey scarf over his face and black sunglasses covering his eyes, with a large black cowboy on his head, with nearly his entire face covered.

Bale stepped out in a unique trench coat that was primarily black but had sections of rusted brown seeping through.
The actor completed his look with grey wool pants barely visible from under his coat, along with dirty black work boots.
Bale was seen chatting with his director Gyllenhaal, taking the helm for her second feature film, after her 2021 directorial debut The Lost Daughter.
The director was wearing black Ray-Ban sunglasses with a pink and white striped top, black pants and black sneakers.
The film takes inspiration from the 1935 film Bride of Frankenstein, which was inspired by Frankenstein creator Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.
The story is set in 1935 Chicago, with Dr. Frankenstein enlisting the help of Dr. Euphronius to create a companion for Frankenstein’s monster (Bale).
They ultimately give new life to a murdered woman, now known just as The Bride (Jessie Buckley).
When she comes back to life, she surprises her creators with a new lust for romance and ignites a radical social movement.
The cast also includes Penelope Cruz, Annette Bening, Julianne Hough, John Magaro and Peter Sarsagaard, the director’s husband, who she tied the knot with in 2009.
