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.
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.
While Marvel has set up the cosmic side of the universe, it’s only been more recently that the studio has pursued the supernatural and horror side of things with the “Moon Knight” series starring Oscar Isaac and Benedict Cumberbatch’s “Doctor Strange.” But the bent towards the spooky, the strange, and the surreal gets much heavier in the upcoming Halloween special, “Werewolf By Night,” which stars Gael Garcia Bernal.
While we’ve seen strides towards building up things like the cosmic side and the multiverse, we’re slowly starting to see Marvel pursue the supernatural/horror side with the recent “Moon Knight” series starring Oscar Isaac and Benedict Cumberbatch’s “Doctor Strange” films (more with the second installment) help ready audiences for slightly less traditional superhero characters.

Between “Moon Knight,” “Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness,” the zombies of “What If…?,” and the upcoming vampiric “Blade” reboot, Marvel Studios has really been assembling a solid horror/occult corner in the MCU. Another one of those entries fleshing out Marvel’s horror and supernatural side will be a Halloween special that seemingly will feature various established characters alongside a Latino version of Werewolf By Night.
“Station Eleven” is quote-unquote “gone,” or over, but far from forgotten. In fact, the expansive HBO Max original limited series that ended in late January just keeps blossoming in the mind as the viewer keeps soaking up what they experienced.
Marvel Studios is spending a lot of time and resources fleshing out the Marvel Cinematic Universe on the small screen for Disney+, which means fans will have a neverending amount of Marvel shows/specials to keep eyeballs on the streaming service. One of those upcoming specials is an untitled Halloween project that is expected to begin shooting next year, reportedly focusing on an incarnation of the horror character Werewolf By Night.
Marvel Studios is currently continuing to make blockbuster films, but in 2021, the studio ventured into the realm of streaming TV with a series of shows on Disney+.
