Werewolf By Night is a scary special from Marvel Studios that will be here just in time for Halloween.
Though, Marvel’s first holiday special will be quite different from Disney Plus-only shows like Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk. That’s because it looks like it got a lot of ideas from old horror movies and monster movies.
In Werewolf by Night, a group of monster hunters who keep to themselves is put in a Battle Royale-style competition over a powerful relic, with a dangerous monster among them.
So far, we know the following about the Marvel special.
Werewolf by Night Release Date
According to collider, Werewolf by Night will only be available on Disney+ when it starts on October 7, 2022. This is just in time for the scary holiday of Halloween. The special presentation will probably last about an hour.

People have also said that members of Loki’s Time Variance Authority and the Marvel character Man-Thing will be in the show. We don’t know who will play them yet, though.
Who Directed Werewolf by Night?
Michael Giacchino, who is known for his work on movies like “Up” and “The Batman,” directed and scored “Werewolf by Night.”
Peter Cameron (who wrote “Moon Knight”) and Heather Quinn wrote the special together (Hawkeye).
Where Does the Werewolf by Night Fit Into the Marvel Universe?
If you were wondering if Marvel’s monster characters would be in future superhero movies, you’re in luck: Werewolf by Night’s executive producer, Brian Gay, has already said that this is just the beginning of Marvel’s monster side.
Gay told The Direct that characters like Werewolf by Night and Man-Thing will be back in the future, but we don’t know where (or when).
Gay said, “I think one of the coolest things about the special is that it shows us more about the monsters in the MCU. So some of the artwork isn’t just of the monsters in Werewolf by Night, but also of the ones that were hanging on the wall.

“All of this points to the idea that there have been monsters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for hundreds of years, and that these hunters have been tracking, hunting, or keeping them at bay.
“And I think, well, we don’t know exactly where they’ll show up next, but the idea is that, with so many different species and types, they’ll show up again. “Of course, you’ll see these guys in different ways,” he said.
Some fans also think that the special might have something to do with Moon Knight or the upcoming Blade movie, even though this is in no way confirmed. This is because the main lycanthrope and Moon Knight have been rivals in the comics, and Blade, who hunts vampires, has sometimes taken on other types of night creatures. We don’t know if that means the Moon Knight himself, Oscar Isaac, or Blade star Mahershala Ali will make a cameo.
Who is Producer of Werewolf by Night?
As was said above, this will be Michael Giacchino’s first time directing, and Kevin Feige will be the executive producer. Giacchino said that Poltergeist (1982), which scared him as a child, was one of the movies that influenced him, and he promised that the special will really scare fans who want something with a bit more grit.
