Where is Werewolf By Night going in the Marvel Universe?
If you were wondering if Marvel''s monster characters will be sticking around for future superhero projects, you''re in luck: executive producer Brian Gay has already confirmed that this is just the beginning for Marvel''s more monstrous side.
While speaking to The Direct (opens in a new tab), Gay explained that some of the characters like Werewolf by Night and Man-Thing will be returning in the future, but we simply don''t know where (or when).
"I think one of the most fantastic things about the special is it''s just peeling back the corner of monsters in the MCU," Gay said. So, not just the monsters that are part of the system, but the ones that were above the wall, and some of it''s artwork.
"What all this means is the notion that for centuries there have been monsters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and they''ve been being tracked or hunted or kept at bay by these hunters.
"And I think, well, we don''t know exactly where they''ll come up next, but the idea is that, with this vast array of varieties and types, they''ll start to pop up again. "You''ll be seeing these guys in different ways, of course," he added.
Although it is in no way confirmed, some enthusiasts believe that the film might be in some way connected to or the upcoming film. This is because the titular lycanthrope and Moon Knight have fought in the comics, and vampire hunter Blade has often been known to take on other kinds of creatures from time to time. Whether or not it will result in an announcement from either Moon Knight himself, Oscar Isaac, or Mahershala Ali.
