Werewolf by Night

Marvel announced that a "Werewolf By Night" special directed by Michael Giacchino and starring Gael García Bernal will air this Halloween season.

The special is inspired by classic black-and-white horror films of the ’30s and ’40s. There are two versions of the Werewolf By Night character in Marvel Comics. Marvel did not announce “Moon Knight” season two at D23 Expo.

Marvel Studios officially revealed the Werewolf by Night-centric Halloween Special at D23.

The MCU is truly expanding into more different storytelling styles than it ever has in the past, and this will hopefully set Werewolf by Night up for a long future in the supernatural side of the MCU's adventures. Throw in Marvel's first lycanthrope alongside monster hunters and other monsters of all variations, and the stage is set for something that will capture the spirit of Halloween from Marvel Studios. This short trailer confirms that the special will be unlike anything fans have ever seen before in the MCU. This will likely be the same thing that happens with The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. But with only a couple of months until the Halloween special would likely premiere on Disney+, there has been no confirmation about its development or release from the Marvel Studios brass. The trailer also seemingly includes Time Variance Authority Minutemen, who were first seen in last year's Loki on Disney+.

Marvel Studios will celebrate spooky season with a new Halloween-themed special coming to Disney Plus called Werewolf by Night. The special will focus on ...

In the Marvel comics, Russell hailed from Transylvania and descended from a line of lycanthropy-affected ancestors. García Bernal will seemingly play the original version of the character Werewolf by Night, who was named — no giggling, please — Jack Russell. Marvel Studios will celebrate spooky season with a new Halloween-themed special coming to Disney Plus called Werewolf by Night.

That run of Werewolf by Night lasted for 43 issues, and included the very first appearance of the character Moon Knight, who gets his own Disney+ series later ...

Supposedly the special was based on [Werewolf By Night](https://screencrush.com/tags/werewolf-by-night/), one of Marvel’s signature horror comics of the 1970s. Then a few months ago, there was word that the special was being directed by a very interesting name: [Michael Giacchino](https://screencrush.com/tags/michael-giacchino/), the outstanding film composer behind such great scores as The Incredibles, Star Trek, Ratatouille, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Up, and The Batman. [August of 2021](https://screencrush.com/marvel-disney-plus-halloween-special/), we got word that [Marvel](https://screencrush.com/tags/marvel/) was quietly working on a Halloween special that would be released on [Disney+ ](https://screencrush.com/tags/disney-plus/)in time for the holiday the following year.

With the new trailer, Disney released a poster for the upcoming Marvel Halloween special Werewolf By Night featuring Gael García Bernal's dark side.

It helps that it was in black and white which only added to the nostalgic vibe it was going for. The trailer was a thrilling love letter to classic monster movies and the horror genre in general. While the brilliantly stylized trailer was very inspired by the 50s and 60s Hammer era of horror, the poster is more in line with something you would see in a Classic Universal Monster film of the 40s.
