The Crown Killer is a 2026 American action horror thriller film written, co-produced, and directed by Guillermo del Toro. Produced by Legendary Pictures and The Stone Quarry and distributed by Lionsgate Films, it is the first installment in the Dishonored Universe.

In the film, Dr. Alexandria Hypatia is tricked and manipulated into drinking the first version of a serum meant for miners and farmers, transforming her into a powerful and deadly but unstable killing machine. The Crown Killer had its world premiere at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival on November 1st, 2026 and was released theatrically on December 14th; the film was a financial success at the box-office, earning $715 million worldwide on a $150 million budget. It received generally positive reviews from critics and was universally lauded by fans and audiences, who praised its originality, the performances of Delevingne and D'Onofrio, action, visuals, atmosphere, Hans Zimmer's musical score, themes, and faithfulness to the character's lore. Three follow-ups are in development: a sequel to this film set directly after its events; a film that follows Delilah Copperspoon; and a crossover film with Hypatia, Delilah, Luca Abele, Paolo, Kirin Jindosh, and Breanna Ashworth.
