Werewolf by Night is a 2022 live-action made-for-streaming special, developed for Disney+ by Marvel Studios.
Initial word came from an August 2021 news report culled from casting notices that seek a Latino actor in the lead role. Rampant speculation is that this would indicate a story involving the rebooted Jake Gomez version of Werewolf by Night. However, on November 2021 it was reported that the lead role had been filled by Gael Garcia Bernal and it was later confirmed that he portrays Jack Russell in the film.
Other cast members include Laura Donnelly (The Nevers) as Elsa Bloodstone, Harriet Sansom Harris (Atlantic Crossing) as Verussa.
Disney+ provides this summary: 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. 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.
Composer Michael Giacchino makes his mainstream directing debut on the special. Heather Quinn (Hawkeye) and Peter Cameron (Moon Knight) wrote the screenplay.
Executive producers are Kevin Feige, Stephen Broussard, Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso and Brad Winderbaum. Co-Executive producers are Brian Gay and Trevor Waterson.
