The director of Marvel’s new just-in-time-for-Halloween horror special on Disney+, “Werewolf by Night,” has revealed that he had to convince studio president Kevin Feige to let him release the flick in black-and-white.

“Werewolf by Night”? The black-and-white horror special stars Gael Garcia Bernal as Jack Russell, a mysterious monster-hunting superhero.Oscar- and Emmy-winning composer Michael Giacchino makes his full-length directorial debut with the film, for which he also wrote the music. Heather Quinn and Peter Cameron wrote the movie, which is based on the Marvel character of the same name.

Gael Garcia Bernal has officially joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Jack Russell, a monster hunter afflicted with a curse that turns him into a werewolf, in the dread-filled and macabre Halloween special , now streaming on Disney+. “I was immediately on board,” Bernal says of joining the project, which is a major departure in tone, style and storytelling for the MCU. “Seeing that in this Marvel Universe and the infrastructure that exists, we can try out different things and experiment as well with this new character.

No spoilers, but we will reveal whether or not “Werewolf by Night” has a post-credits scene, so if you don’t want to know, turn back now!See above. It’s basically a Marvel Studios Halloween special, directed by the insidiously talented Michael Giacchino, who has contributed the musical scores to some of the MCU’s biggest films (“Doctor Strange,” all three Tom Holland “Spider-Man” movies, “Thor: Love and Thunder”). Presented in black-and-white, with theatrical flourishes like “cigarette burns,” “Werewolf by Night” is meant to mimic the look and feel of classic Universal monster movies from the 1940’s.

At this point, four phases in, Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios have enlisted dozens of Hollywood A-listers for the MCU frontlines. And big-name actors want to work for the franchise juggernaut too, but there remain a few names that haven’t yet made their first Marvel appearance.

Jon Burlingame editor Marvel fans tuning in to “Werewolf by Night” Friday on Disney+ may be surprised when they read the director’s name as the end titles roll. It’s Michael Giacchino, who is far better known as the Oscar- and Emmy-winning composer of “Up” and “Lost,” not to mention such other high-profile, big-grossing films as “The Batman” and the last three entries in the “Spider-Man” franchise. But, as Giacchino reminds us, he’s been behind the camera since he was a youngster in Edgewater Park, N.J. “I love making movies,” he says. “I’ve loved it since I was 9 years old. That’s what it was about, gathering every kid in the neighborhood and creating movies in my parents’ backyard.”

Marvel Comics spans a multitude of genres and subgenres beyond traditional superheroes and super geniuses, and over the years, Marvel Studios has tried to explore them all. “Guardians Of The Galaxy” opened up the cosmic side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the “Thor” films have been able to examine gods and fantasy, “Doctor Strange” movies unlocked the mystical realms, and recent and upcoming characters like Moon Knight, Daredevil, and Blade seem poised to finally unveil the street-level supernatural sub-genre element of Marvel.

Kate Aurthur editor During her career, Elizabeth Olsen has played a broad range of characters, from a damaged cult escapee in 2011’s “Martha Marcy May Marlene,” to an in-over-her-head FBI agent investigating a murder in “Wind River,” to a narcissistic influencer in “Ingrid Goes West” — and, of course, the tragic, terrifying Wanda Maximoff (aka Scarlet Witch) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Next year, she’ll star in “Love & Death,” an HBO Max limited series about Candy Montgomery, a Texas homemaker who in 1980 had an affair with her friend’s husband — and then murdered her friend, hitting her 41 times with an axe. It’s based on a true story. Yet “Love & Death,” written by David E. Kelley, and directed by Lesli Linka Glatter, isn’t grim, according to Olsen — in fact, “I think we were trying to find the humor as much as possible,” she says. And as for playing a murderer in Candy, she compared the experience to getting into the character of Wanda. “What’s fun for me is trying to understand why people make the decisions they make,” Olsen says. “I just feel like that’s my role is to defend, defend, defend. And so I adore her, and I’m impressed by her.”

With “Werewolf by Night,” the Marvel Cinematic Universe is getting spooky.The new 53-minute movie, dubbed a “Marvel Studios Special Presentation” and directed by Michael Giacchino, debuts on Disney+ next week. Starring Gael Garcia Bernal as the title character, it evokes the spirit of Universal monster movies from the 1940s, with its black-and-white photography, scratchy soundtrack and somewhat exaggerated performances.

As a final capstone to MCU‘s Phase 4 content on Disney+, Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios have cooked up a TV special just in time for the Halloween season. “Werewolf By Night” showcases a little-seen part of the Marvel universe, taking on the more ghoulish corners of the comics lore.

Fans were first introduced to Wanda Maximoff, aka Scarlet Witch, in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” and “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” However, it wasn’t until years later that Elizabeth Olsen’s Marvel Cinematic Universe character would really come into her own, climaxing in the one-two punch of “WandaVision” and “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.” But just because it would appear that her story has come to a dramatic end in ‘Multiverse of Madness,’ that doesn’t mean we’re done seeing Scarlet Witch in the MCU.  Continue reading Kevin Feige Teases Scarlet Witch’s Possible MCU Return: “Anything’s Possible In The Multiverse!” at The Playlist.
