Marvel Studios is developing an untitled Halloween special for Disney+ that's expected to revolve around Werewolf by Night. Gael Garcia Bernal will reportedly play Jack Russell, but The Illuminerdi is reporting that Nina Price, a.k.a. Vampire by Night, is also set to make an appearance. 

In the comic books, Jack's family is cursed with lycanthropy after one of his ancestors crossed paths with a werewolf who had been imprisoned by Dracula. As time passed, Jack went from being a standard werewolf to gaining the ability to transform at will. Becoming an unlikely hero, he'd go on to cross paths with a number of characters, including Moon Knight (during Marc Spector's debut).

Jack also has a niece, Nina Price, who as part of the same cursed bloodline also becomes a werewolf. However, after she was attacked by a vampire, her affliction was altered so that she turns into a blood-sucker once the sun sets and a werewolf at full moon (while remaining human during the day). Another key difference is that Nina transforms fully into a white wolf rather than a typical werewolf.

All of this should lend itself well to this Halloween special, as it also presents Marvel Studios with the opportunity to take a deep dive into the MCU's supernatural lore, something we believe is going to start with Moon Knight and then expand in Blade and multiple other projects. 

It's going to be an interesting, weird few years for the MCU and that's no bad thing. We're going to be delving into some unexplored areas of this shared world, while the horror side of the Marvel Universe opens the door to new characters, stories, and major introductions (Ghost Rider!).

So, the Midnight Sons, potential members:

Blade
Black Knight
Moon Knight
Werewolf by Night

Possibly Doctor Strange as a leader and Scarlet Witch?

@UXASIS - not sure about Scarlet Witch, but Doctor Strange would be cool to see. Hope the lot of them take on Dracula

@bkmeijer - Yeah Dracula seems like a good choice (if he won't be taken as a Blade antagonist).

I'd put Dracula in the first movie, and Mephisto in the finale.

bkmeijer2 - 12/23/2021, 6:18 AM
@UXASIS - I completely forgot about the Blade movie and Mephisto. Dracula seems more fitting for Blade and Mephisto for Midnight Sons now that I think about it

@bkmeijer - Yeah, although Mephisto is a really big threat, currently he is fighting the Avengers, so I'd give him a slow build-up, like Thanos.

Also, he can play a big part against Ghost Rider, who probably isn't coming very soon.

Anyway, did Ghost Rider make a deal with the Devil or Mephisto?

I'm saying that because I read that Helstrom is the son of ''the normal Devil,'' and not Mephisto, which seems confusing to me, as I thought that both were the rulers of Hell.

@UXASIS - wouldn't surprise me if the MCU made Mephisto and the Devil into the same entity. Would make things easier

@UXASIS - don't forget Brother Voodoo, Clea, Elsa Bloodstone, Man-Thing, and Ghost Rider as possibilities too

@UXASIS - where's midnight nurse? you should include her!

@UXASIS - would have prefrered Daniel Hellstorm and Gosth Rider like the Hulu scarpped plan.

@PicolasCage - You must keep something for the sequels, man! ;)

But yeah, all of them should join the team, sooner or later.

Kinda look forward to these Halloween and Holiday specials. Perfect middleway for projects that don't necessarily need the big screen or entire show media to tell its stories

Hey I don't mean to gush on Marvel (God knows I do that enough as it is), but think about this: we're seriously having a discussion about a "Marvel D+ Halloween Special" revolving around Werewolf-by-Night and whatever other vampires and other supernatural creatures might appear in the show all the while discussing Blade, Moon Knight, Ghost Rider, etc. and whatever else Marvel may cook up for their supernatural side, all the while neck deep in multiverse Spider-Man shenanigans waiting for Kang to show up and throwing out every crazy idea as to how/when they are going to bring in the F4 (NOT the Fast and the Furious, although that would catch everyone off guard ;)) and the X-Men. Seriously!!! 10 years ago did anyone think that we would be having these discussions right now? Maybe it's just because I'm on my fifth "breakfast" Long Island (we tend to stretch out "breakfast" well into the afternoon here in the States, especially right after Christmas), but for all the petty squabbles and arguments that we have on this site just take a step back and recognize what we're getting as fans these days. Now pardon me while I refill my glass and play with my RC Mario Kart with "Elf" playing in the background ("Bad Santa" just finished) while I wait for "The Book of Boba Fett" in 2 days while wearing my Spider-Man onesy (believe it or not, I am a grown man with a PhD in Computer Science, 2 kids and a VERY patient wife ;)). Happy Holidays y'all!
