Marvel Studios has unveiled details and the first trailer for 'Werewolf by Night', the upcoming MCU Halloween special set to premiere October 7 on Disney+ ...

Moon Knight played in the MCU by Oscar Isaac began as a villain in the 'Werewolf by Night' comic. In the comics, the character has been a frequent guest star for other heroes, particularly the spookier members of the Marvel Universe. Michael Giacchino, who has worked as a composer on Marvel films such as 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' and 'Thor: Love and Thunder', directs the special.

Marvel Studios' 'Werewolf by Night' is based on Jack Russel, who has the power to transform into a werewolf without losing his human intellect.

Marvel Studios' upcoming Werewolf by Night special makes history for the studio in multiple ways.

Werewolf by Night will be Marvel Studios' first real venture into the supernatural side of the MCU. It's exciting to see how Marvel Studios will take advantage of all these wildly different elements to make something truly unique in the MCU. But, while that show only did it for two episodes, this will be the first project that is entirely in black and white in the vein of classic Universal monster movies. For Werewolf by Night, it's simply a stylistic choice to help reinforce the inspiration of classic monster movies.

Soon after that, it was revealed that this would [in fact be an entire Halloween special](https://thedirect.com/article/marvel-studios-disney-plus-halloween-werewolf-by-night) focused on the character.

Directed by Michael Giacchino & Jaycob Maya, it stars Gael Garcia Bernal, Laura Donnelly, Harriet Sansom Harris, Kirk Thatcher, Jaycob Maya, and Eugenie ...

Despite possessing an innumerable roster of unique characters that all occupy various genres, Marvel chooses to shoehorn every piece of content they produce ...

Boy, Blade is in good hands now that it's part of the MCU, huh? Every other article that a superhero-hating film critic writes prophesizes the inevitable onset of "superhero fatigue," and Marvel's monotonous conveyor belt for cookie-cutter content isn't doing anything to detract from the criticism. For all of its various successes, the MCU has committed an almost equivalent number of sins.
