The trailer for Marvel’s first Halloween special, “Werewolf by Night,” is here. Marvel debuted the footage and officially announced the project at D23 Expo on Sept. 10. The horror special is about Jack Russell, aka the Werewolf by Night, who can transform into a werewolf but keep his human intellect. Gael Garcia Bernal plays Russell. Laura Donnelly stars with him, and it appears she’s playing Elsa Bloodstone, a monster hunter. In the trailer, the cast of characters play a game where they have to figure out who amongst them is secretly a monster, with bloody and horrifying results.
The special is directed by Michael Giacchino. Giacchino is the Oscar-winning composer of films like “Up,” “Rogue One,” “Spider-Man: No Way Home.”
The film is shot in a classic black-and-white style, mimicking the look of old horror films. Marvel head Kevin Feige said that they were inspired by old school holiday specials and that more would be coming in the future. For example, “The Guardians of the Galaxy” has its own holiday special coming up, though Marvel has yet to announce details about it.
