Last year, Disney released the first-ever Marvel Studios Special Presentation, “Werewolf By Night”, on Disney+ around the world.  The special tells the story of what happens on a dark and somber night as a secret cabal of monster hunters emerge from the shadows and gather at the foreboding Bloodstone Temple following the death of their leader. 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. Inspired by horror films of the 1930s and 1940s, the chilling special aims to evoke a sense of dread and the macabre, with plenty of suspense and scares along the way as we explore a new corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

This past Friday, Marvel Studios released a brand new version of the vibrate colour special called “Werewolf By Night In Color” on Disney+ around the world.

Recently, the special’s director, Michael Giacchino, took part in a special screening by Collider of the “Werewolf By Night In Color”, where he was asked in a Q&A session after the screening, if there was an update on a follow up, to which he replied:

There’s always talk. But, you know, until somebody decides to spend a penny, nothing happens yet. So, hopefully. My wish is that, yes, there will be more with these characters. I would love to, and I have ideas of what I would love to do with them, and it’s all crazy and nuts, but I think that’s the only way to go about it. So, hopefully, one day. Hopefully, one day.

One of the many advantages that the Special Presentation format has over a movie or series, is that it offers more flexibility to Marvel to tell stories, that maybe don’t need a full-blown series to tell, but might not be big enough to warrant a theatrical release.  They are also much cheaper for Disney to produce, though with Marvel Studios slowing down its release schedule, to cut costs and focus back on theatrical releases, the addition of more Special Presentations might not align with that idea.

Unfortunately, we will just have to wait and see what happens next with Werewolf By Night, could he pop up in another Disney+ series or special with some other characters like Moon Knight?

You can catch “Werewolf By Night” and “Werewolf By Night In Color” on Disney+ now.

Would you like to see a “Werewolf By Night” sequel, either as a special presentation, series or even a movie?  Let us know on social media
