Here’s How Werewolf by Night Fits Into the MCU

The Marvel Cinematic Universe goes old school horror with Werewolf by Night. A black-and-white take on classic 1930s horror films, Werewolf By Night starts Gael Garcia Bernal as the werewolf in question but how does he fit into the larger MCU? Join IGN host Kim Horcher as she breaks down the Phase 4 project.
Werewolf By Night is the intriguing new halloween Marvel special that introduces 3 characters including the eponymous Werewolf by Night. Trailer footage teased in summer showed we’re getting something quite different in Werewolf by Night. MCU conventions contrast the black and white images seen in the Werewolf by Night Trailer. Breakdown the actual special with us as we figure out where in Marvel and the MCU fits Werewolf by Night! Explained simply, he is more than a conventional werewolf, Werewolf By Night (Marvel) has a long comics history. Did the Werewolf By Night D23 footage make you curious? Why didn’t they show the werewolf that well at D23? The Disney Plus and Marvel Studios production of the classic Marvel Comics hero (that introduced Moon Knight by the way), takes a unique leap glimpsed in the Werewolf By Night traielr. And there’s more than one Werewolf by Night easter egg hidden in the special! Why is Werewolf By Night (Disney+) a one-off and not a series? It could be Werewolf by Night (Disney Plus) is a test of sorts, to see if people like the character and want to know who is Werewolf By Night. Werewolf By Night comics explained who Jack Russell is and his journey, but the special could be a big divergence from the Werewolf By Night Comics. To find out more, we’re exploring the Werewolf By Night Origin. There are many crossovers with Werewolf By Night- Blade for one! What’ll happen with Werewolf By Night (Kevin Smith would probably like to know too!) We’re exploring where he’s been and where he’ll go on IGN today with host Kim Horcher.

This is the perfect opportunity to hire this man to direct Blade.

He looks like the original comic.

[@shauryasingh9725]

It's a creepy, off-putting design and it's great. A traditional werewolf design would've been boring, unoriginal and worst of all - not memorable.

[@StonedPriest]

Is this the new mermaid, Elf complaint? What's a werewolf look like anyway?

[@teddybear8348]

​@@shauryasingh9725this one in This special is very cheesy one there definitely a chance making a giant 9 foot tall werewolf that is 10 time more creepy and disturbing,if this wasn't ain the style of monster movies from the 40 and it was very well done morden horror story and it was TV MA imagine the body horror for a second

Who cares how it fits into the MCU? It was amazing because it was its own (man) thing. Keep all that superfluous MCU crap outta here.

[@thedarkbankai2308]

this is big mistake for horror fitting into the MCU

[@teddybear8348]

Why's?

[@cptrag1940]

Why are u telling us the comic story thinking it's the same as the movies?? Bloodstone is a caveman in the comics and not in the movie. Also it's not gory at all, it's like u whoever wrote this hasn't even seen it

[@blightedthicket5797]

Never was a fan of the "wolfman" version of a werewolf. Mainly cause its appearance is more of a gorilla behaving in a canine like fashion. But as long as there's fitting amounts of bloodshed and slaughter, looks hardly matter. Unless its just a giant wolf, that just kills any sense of spectacle.
