Gael García Bernal to Star in Marvel’s Werewolf-Focused Disney+ Halloween Special (Exclusive)

Marvel Studios’ search for a Latino lead for its as-yet-untitled Halloween special has ended, with Golden Globe winning Mexican actor Gael García Bernal set to lead the cast of werewolf-focused show that will air on Disney+, TheWrap has exclusively learned.

The Halloween Special is eyeing to begin production in early 2022.

While details about the project are being kept strictly under wraps, individuals with knowledge say the character may be based on “Werewolf by Night,” the name used by two separate Marvel characters.

Marvel is Seeking Latino Lead for Disney+ Halloween Special (Exclusive)
The first, Jack Russell, was created by Gerry Conway and Mike Ploog based on concepts by Stan Lee and Roy Thomas, and first appeared in a 1972 issue of “Marvel Spotlight.” Russell starred on an ongoing “Werewolf by Night” series that ran for 43 issues and ended in 1977.

Russell is a descendant of the mystically-altered offshoot of humans known as Lycanthropes, who eventually becomes capable of transforming on his own volition even without a full moon, and retaining his intellect while transformed. Among other things, that series is notable for having the first appearance of Moon Knight, a character whose own Disney+ series, starring Oscar Isaac, will stream in 2022.

Marvel introduced a second incarnation of the character, Jake Gomez, last year in “Werewolf by Night” (Vol. 3) #1. Created by the writing team of Taboo, Benjamin Jackendoff and Scot Eaton, Gomez, a member of the Hopi Native American tribe whose family has been cursed with lycanthropy, comes in conflict with a nefarious pharmaceutical company exploiting members of the tribe.

It’s not clear which, if either, version of “Werewolf by Night” will serve as inspiration for the TV special.

With the introduction of Disney+, Marvel Studios is able to explore different narratives and storytelling on the streaming platform. Shows such as “Wandavision” (which had a Halloween themed episode), “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” and “Loki” launched to great success on the platform. Marvel Studios most recently ventured into animation with “What If?,” which recently aired its first season. “The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special” most recently wrapped and will premiere during the 2022 holiday season.

Bernal most recently starred in M. Night Shyamalan’s “Old,” Pablo Larraín’s “Ema” and “Wasp Network” for Netflix. Bernal won a Golden Globe for his role as Rodrigo in “Mozart in the Jungle.” Bernal will next be seen in “Station Eleven,” the miniseries adaptation of Emily St. John Mandel’s hit novel which debuts Dec. 16 on HBO Max.

Bernal is repped by WME and Hansen Jacobson.

Marvel could not be reached for comment.

WEREWOLF BY NIGHT: LE RIPRESE DELLO SPECIALE DI HALLOWEEN DEDICATO A LICANTROPUS INIZIERANNO A FEBBRAIO?

Un nuovo report svela l’inizio delle riprese di Werewolf by Night, lo speciale di Halloween in lavorazione ai Marvel Studios.

Manca ormai pochissimo all’inizio delle riprese di Werewolf by Night, il nuovo speciale di Halloween dei Marvel Studios incentrato sul personaggio di Jack Russell alias Licantropus (Gael García Bernal).

Secondo un nuovo report di Production Weekly, le riprese di questo speciale inizieranno nella prima settimana di febbraio presso gli studios di Atlanta, dove sono in corso le riprese di Guardiani della Galassia Vol. 3 e dove a breve ripartirà la produzione di Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

La domanda a questo punto è una: Trattandosi di un solo speciale, che non richiede una post-produzione così estesa quanto una serie intera, potrebbe uscire già ad Halloween di quest’anno su Disney+? In caso, il personaggio potrebbe debuttare in una delle prossime serie, come ad esempio Moon Knight?

Al momento non ci sono ulteriori conferme ma, come sempre, vi terremo aggiornati.

The special is due to begin production in coming months and follows Marvel’s Disney+ shows WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki and Hawkeye. Marvel and Disney also have shows in the works based on She-Hulk, Ms. Marvel and Moon Knight.

Blade’s MCU Debut Reportedly Revealed

According to a recent report from The Cosmic Circus, Marvel Studios’ Blade is set to appear in the upcoming Werewolf by Night Halloween special that Marvel has planned for Disney+.

The special is set to introduce the concept of werewolves fully into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and will act as a one-shot special for fans getting into the Halloween mood later this year. However, the report notes that none other than Mahershala Ali will appear in the upcoming special, which will essentially act as a physical debut for the highly anticipated Marvel character following his voice-only appearance in Marvel’s Eternals.

Currently, it’s unknown what purpose Blade will serve in the upcoming special, although given his vampire hunting tendencies, it likely won’t bode all that well for some werewolves that might choose to go after him. Ali has said last year that he is ready to begin work on the upcoming Blade film as well, and was excited to dive into the character.

Werewolf by Night is a name that was used by two different Marvel characters. The first one, which was created by Gerry Conway, Mike Ploog, Roy Thomas, and Jeanie Thomas, was Jack Russell, who is a descendant of the Lycanthropes, shapeshifting half-human creatures who are capable of transforming at his own will, even without a full moon. Meanwhile, the second one was Jake Gomez, a Native American whose tribe has been cursed with lycanthropy. The character of Gomez was created by Taboo, Benjamin Jackendoff, and Scot Eaton. It’s unclear whether or not either character will be featured in the upcoming special.

WEREWOLF BY NIGHT: MICHAEL GIACCHINO DIRIGERÀ LO SPECIALE DI HALLOWEEN PER I MARVEL STUDIOS!

Il compositore Michael Giacchino (Up) dirigerà lo speciale di Halloween su Werewolf by Night per i Marvel Studios!

I Marvel Studios si sono spostati in pianta stabile anche su Disney+ ormai da inizio anno e, oltre alle serie in live-action uscite finora, ci sono tanti progetti in fase di sviluppo alla compagnia tra cui uno speciale di Halloween incentrato su Licantropus (in originale Werewolf by Night). Le riprese dello speciale inizieranno questo mese con il titolo di lavorazione “Buzz Cut” mentre l’attore Gael García Bernal (vincitore di un Golden Globe per Mozart in the Jungle) interpreterà il protagonista.

Nella giornata di oggi The Wrap ha confermato i recenti rumor secondo i quali il compositore Michael Giacchino dirigerà lo speciale di Halloween su Werewolf by Night. Giacchino ha già lavorato con i Marvel Studios per la colonna sonora di Doctor Strange (2016), Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) e Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) e si occuperà della colonna sonora di Thor: Love and Thunder. Il compositore, inoltre, ha avuto in passato piccole esperienze come regista con un paio di cortometraggi (Star Trek: Short Treks e Monster Challenge) e ha avuto un cameo in Star Wars: Il risveglio della Forza.

Tra gli altri crediti di Michael Giacchino occorre ricordare il suo lavoro sulla colonna sonora originale de Gli Incredibili, Coco, Jojo Rabbit, Ratatouille, Star Trek, Jurassic World, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story e The Batman e ha vinto un Oscar, un Golden Globe e un Premio BAFTA per il film Pixar Up.

Marvel Reportedly Finds Its Elsa Bloodstone in Werewolf By Night

A report by Cosmic Circus allegedly pinned down the Marvel hero actress Laura Donnelly will portray. It was already known that she will be one part of Werewolf By Night, a one-off special for the Haloween season this year on Disney Plus. If the report turns out true, you can expect Donnelly to play monster hunter Elsa Bloodstone.

Bloodstone made her debut in 2001 via a four-issue mini-series. She is the daughter of legacy character Ulysses Bloodstone, and she hasn’t run into titular werewolf Jack Russell all that much in her time in the comics universe. However, she is a big part of the supernatural side of the Marvel multiverse. From Ghost Rider and Blade to the literal son of Satan and Dracula, they’ve all been a part of the decades-long Marvel story.

Cosmic Circus goes on to speculate that Marvel could be gathering characters for a team-up in the future — possibly based on the Midnight Sons team from the comics. Moon Knight is currently turning heads on Disney’s streaming service, and Doctor Strange is well established in the movies. Add in Donnelly’s Bloodstone and a new version of Ghost Rider (or Mahershala Ali’s Blade), and you’d have a full team in the vein of Netflix’s Defenders.

Werewolf By Night is set to hit Disney Plus later this year, giving Marvel Cinematic Universe fans another peek into a dark corner of the Marvel universe that still has many tales to tell.

Werewolf by Night, nello speciale potrebbe apparire anche Man-Thing

Nello speciale di Halloween dei Marvel Studios, intitolato per il momento Werewolf by Night, potrebbe apparire anche l’inquietante Man-Thing.
Cosmic Circus, che in passato ha riportato anche la presenza di Laura Donnelly nel cast come Elsa Bloodstone, ha dichiarato che vedremo anche Man-Thing all’interno dello speciale di un’ora. Data la durata di Werewolf by Night è lecito credere che le riprese principali si siano già concluse, e che lo show sia al momento in fase di montaggio e post-produzione. [...]

Ecco chi sarebbe la cattiva del film, inoltre Blade potrebbe per la prima volta comparire in carne e ossa nella sua versione MCU!

Werewolf By Night Reportedly Casts Its Villain

New details regarding the upcoming Marvel Studios Disney+ special Werewolf by Night have come to light, potentially hinting at who the main villain of the short will be.

According to a recent report from insider Daniel Richtman on his Patreon, Harriet Sansom Harris (Frasier, Desperate Housewives) is set to play an evil cult leader in the upcoming series. The character, Verrusa, will lead a cult from the house of Bloodstone in the special.

While the character Verrusa has not appeared in the world of Marvel Comics, the name Bloodstone is one that appears quite a bit. The most notable character with said name is Elsa Bloodstone, a monster hunter that appears in the comics and is also rumored to make an appearance in the upcoming special.

Currently, not a whole lot is known about the Halloween special, but there have been some rumors that suggest that Mahershala Ali’s Blade — who appeared in a voice-only role in Marvel’s Eternals — will make his on-screen debut in the special.

Per l'Italia lo speciale acquisterà il nome come da controparte fumettistica, Licantropus.

Molto interessante il corto, un bell'omaggio al Monster Universe della Universal anni '30 e '40. Il formato dello speciale è qualcosa di inedito e stimolante, sicuramente non impegnativo e che pare verrà riproposto per il personaggio di Nova.
In questo corto si spalanca tutto un filone inedito, horror, che troverà in Blade e probabilmente nella trasposizione de I Figli della Mezzanotte il suo tripudio. Ma sicuramente entreranno in gioco anche alcuni Ghost Rider prima o poi. Mephisto, ultimamente rumoreggiato, lo vedo più parte del filone magico di Wanda, Agatha e al più Doctor Strange.
Qui in questo corto, al di là del protagonista, la scena la ruba la cacciatrice di mostri Elsa Bloodstone e la mitologia della pietra blodstone, reliquia in grado di stanare e combattere i mostri, dal potenziale sicuramente da sfruttare in futuro. Operazione riuscita. Belli i trucchi artigianali memori del tempo che fu, che fanno bella scena di sé, soprattutto nel personaggio dell'Uomo Cosa. Meno riuscito, secondo me, il make up di Licantropus, anche se è visibilmente posticcio per richiamare i Classici dell'horror Universal. Curioso il make up di Gael Garcia Bernal, col trucco che ricorda i teschi del Dia de los Muertos. Chissà come mai, non viene spiegato nel corto. Probabilmente allude al passato messicano del personaggio.
