For the next Halloween, Marvel would be preparing a special program around the Werewolf by Night Werewolf for Disney +.
With more than two dozen films and series in development, the Marvel Extended Universe is constantly expanding, but audiences have yet to have a chance to explore its darker nooks and crannies. With the next Blade , but also the latecomer Morbius – the latest Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Spider-Man: No Way Home having clearly built a bridge between Sony’s Spider-Verse and the MCU – the vampires will soon land at home. superheroes. And they will probably not be the only monsters from the fantastic imagination to join the immense fresco of Marvel.
In the same way that Disney + will offer a special program for Christmas around the Guardians of the Galaxy, the streaming platform is said to be preparing a special program for Halloween around the lycanthrope from the comic book series Werewolf by Night . The project has not yet been formalized by the firm, but after the announcement of Gael García Bernal ( Old , Neruda , Mozart in the Jungle ) to play the main character, it is more recently Deadline who unveiled that Laura Donnelly ( The Nevers , Outlander , Tolkien ) had in turn joined the cast.
The role of the actress has not been clarified or confirmed, but the media have speculated that she could play Nina Price who is none other than the niece of Jack Russel , the supposed version of the character that Gael will play. García Bernal. Nina Price is also a hybrid creature, which alternately takes the form of a vampire and a Werewolf, and is nicknamed Night Vampire.
This special program will probably take the form of a medium-length film of around 40 minutes and should begin production next February. He could also test the waters for the Marvel’s Moon Knight series , with Marc Spector (who will be played by Oscar Isaac) having made his first appearance in the Werewolf comic series.
Now hoping that with this more “horrifying” branch, Marvel will dare to scratch its smooth image calibrated for the general public, unlike what the studio was able to do for the episode of What If …? on zombies.
