Werewolf by Night arrives on Disney+ on October 7, and looks set to serve as the first Marvel Studios Special Presentation. The next one will be The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, and the hope is that these standalone stories will allow the MCU to tell some very different stories.
If these first reactions to Werewolf by Night are any indication, the zany, frightening, black-and-white special will deliver the horror story we've been waiting for.
We thought Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness might fill that void, but it appears Disney+ is giving Marvel Studios the freedom to fully embrace different genres. Werewolf by Night sounds legitimately scary and creepy, while Man-Thing's MCU debut is also receiving a lot of praise (the character was teased in the first trailer for the special).
"On a dark and somber night, a secret cabal of monster hunters emerge from the shadows and gather at the foreboding Bloodstone Temple following the death of their leader," reads the synopsis for the special.
"In a strange and macabre memorial to the leader's life, the attendees are thrust into a mysterious and deadly competition for a powerful relic—a hunt that will ultimately bring them face to face with a dangerous monster."
It's also been confirmed that Werewolf by Night will have a runtime of just under 53 minutes, hopefully giving us more than enough time to get to know these characters!
