Those responsible for Marvel Studios have proposed that we do not miss them at any time of the year, releasing either in theaters or streaming a series of products that, with greater or lesser reception by fans, have become a real gold mine. And this year, from Disney, they have not wanted to miss the opportunity to release something related to Halloween and its universe of superheroes and villains.
Monsters come to the Marvel Universe
To celebrate the scariest time of the year, Marvel Studios for the first time in its history brings us a project related to the most monstrous side of his universe of characters. Werewolf By Nightalso called The Curse of the Werewolf in Spain, it is based on the comic of the same name that tells us about the misadventures of a group of beast hunters who will have to try to survive in a kind of deadly game while being attacked by a fearsome creature.
Within this medium we can find some of the best known classic horror characterss from the Marvel factory such as the Werewolf, obviously, Elsa Bloodstone, the monster hunter or the enigmatic Man-Thing.
In addition, this project marks another first for the company responsible for some of the highest-grossing films in history, since It is not a movie or a series, but we are facing his first special. The definition that Marvel gives of this format is that of a short film with a duration between 50 and 60 minutes and that works independently of the UCM, without the need for us to watch other films or series first.
In the cast we will see names like Gael García Bernal, Laura Donnelly or Harriet Sansom Harris and the direction is signed by Michael Giacchino (indeed, the famous composer of soundtracks) who, by the way, is also responsible for the soundtrack. A multifaceted man… there is no doubt.
What do the fans think and when is it released?
Before its premiere there was a group of chosen ones who were able to enjoy this special starring the Werewolf before anyone else and the first reactions were already incredibly positive. Although the most recent projects of Marvel Studios like Thor Love and Thunder either Ms Marvel have received an inordinate amount of negative reviews, with Werewolf by Night They show again why they are the kings in making projects inspired by comics.
Critics praise how well it pays homage to the classic monster movies of the 1930s and 1940s and how surprisingly well Michael Giacchino handles terror and suspense in this special, as well as implore Marvel Studios to give him more directing jobs. On portals like Rotten Tomatoes it has a score of 94% (the same as avengers endgame).
If with all this that we have told you you have a monstrous desire (forgive the bad joke) to see this special, do not get upset because you already have it available to see within the Disney Plus platform. So you can start now.
And you? You will see Werewolf By Night?
