Werewolf by Night arrived on Disney+ earlier today and it's a story unlike any other we've seen from Marvel Studios before. Adding monsters to the MCU suggests Kevin Feige and company have big plans to explore a very different corner of this shared world, and we're hoping that leads to projects like Midnight Suns and Legion of Monsters becoming a reality.
Only a single trailer was released for Werewolf by Night prior to its release, and Marvel Studios built excitement for their first Special Presentation by keeping these monsters under wraps.
Now, though, we're able to take a closer look!
As you can see below, Gael García Bernal was transformed into Werewolf by Night with practical effects that bring the character more in line with his comic book counterpart. He's an uncontrollable beast (for the most part), so we're curious whether the plan is for Jack's personality to shine through more in future projects.
Man-Thing also looks like he's been torn straight from the pages of the comics. We get to see him in black and white and colour, and Marvel Studios absolutely nailed this design.
"A Halloween horror delight, Werewolf by Night is a mighty impressive, macabre Marvel monster tale that introduces some killer new characters and proves Marvel Studios can still find plenty of ways to surprise us," we said in our review yesterday. "More Man-Thing is a must!"
There have already been rumblings that Marvel Studios has plans to continue introducing monsters in specials like this one, and we do hope the wait for more Werewolf by Night and Man-Thing won't be too long. They have a great dynamic and Elsa Bloodstone is another character who it would be fun seeing brought to the forefront in the MCU.
