Ένα ακόμα ενδιαφέρον project ανακοινώθηκε από την Marvel και συγκεκριμένα πρόκειται για το “Werewolf by Night”, που αποτελεί μια μίνι ταινία μιας ώρας (52 λεπτών για την ακρίβεια) σαν event για το Haloween, με κομμάτια που συνδέουν με το MCU. Τα πρώτα σχόλια που κυκλοφόρησαν είναι πολύ καλά.
Our secret screening was #WerewolfByNight & it was rad as hell. Totally feels like Marvel took a time machine back to the 1940s to create a badass horror/adventure movie. So many amazing nods to classic horror & so much more too. What a fun surprise! #FantasticFest pic.twitter.com/3cCY8NBj25

#WerewolfByNight is the most idiosyncratic MCU project since GOTG. As good? No. But it’s a remarkable breath of fresh air to see Marvel try something like this, as its tone and style are VERY MUCH that of the trailer.
More like this, please. Comics are weird. Let’s be weird. 🐺 pic.twitter.com/Z2kCmEYohM

Got the opportunity to catch #WerewolfByNight a bit early and this honestly may be my favorite Phase Four MCU project yet. It’s brutal, it’s chilling, it’s effectively tongue-in-cheek, it’s Marvel’s first real dive into horror and is done so well. pic.twitter.com/iMkGM1n0Dw

Marvel took a big swing with #WerewolfByNight and they knocked it out of the park. I love how the campy horror vibes blended with the Marvel style! @GaelGarciaB is the perfect actor to play Jack Russell and Man Thing will become a fan favourite! @m_giacchino didn’t disappoint. pic.twitter.com/jSdxOnIR7j

Didn’t expect the first #FantasticFest Secret Screening to be #WerewolfByNight directed by @m_giacchino one of my favorite composers. If you’re nostalgic for creature features of the 1930s this will be right up your alley. There’s plenty of blood and gore, and exciting fights. pic.twitter.com/1LYqP0jWJP

Michael Giacchino’s #WerewolfByNight captures the aesthetic of old 40s Hollywood horror but with a Marvel flair. It’s has the right amount of suspense to draw you in and get you terrified. Gael García Bernal is fantastic and Lauren Donnelly is bad ass!@MarvelStudios @m_giacchino pic.twitter.com/3Xxb6VwElP

My #WerewolfByNight thoughts: Marvel’s new MCU monsters and leads are awesome, as is Michael Giacchino’s direction & music as well! The supporting characters are not on the same level, but Werewolf By Night is still a thrilling Halloween special they should keep doing more of. pic.twitter.com/AARanUHjw4
