As a seasoned gamer and avid Marvel fan with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the anticipation for a Werewolf by Night sequel is as palpable as the tension in a round of Call of Duty’s Battle Royale. The original was a breath of fresh air in the MCU landscape, offering a unique blend of horror and monster hunters that left us yearning for more.

Back in the year 2022, around the same season, the supernatural series “Werewolf by Night” made its debut on Disney+. Since the initial film graced our screens on the streaming platform, fans have been eagerly waiting for news about a sequel. Just recently, the team behind the original production discussed their progress towards creating “Werewolf by Night 2”, sharing their determination to bring it to life as soon as possible.

Although it isn’t formally included in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Werewolf by Night is widely cherished as one of the most unique offerings within this universe. Michael Giacchino, a renowned composer turned director, recognizes the enthusiasm surrounding this film while also being aware that both the MCU and the movie industry at large have experienced changes that necessitate some adjustments. However, he remains hopeful about the potential for a follow-up in the near future.

In a video discussion that was intended to focus on The Penguin and Fantastic Four’s musical preferences, he and his son also discussed the progress of Werewolf by Night 2. When discussing the recent changes in the industry, he acknowledged that some projects have had to be postponed. However, he is hopeful that Marvel will revisit that theme at some point, even though it’s uncertain when exactly that might happen. He ended the segment on an optimistic note, saying “We’ll get there.

In a unique twist, “Werewolf by Night” was an exceptional production launched on Disney+, distinguishing itself from the typical superhero/villain narrative. Instead, it delved into the lives of characters who aren’t typically seen in tights or capes, nor wielding shields to combat crime. The story unfolds at Bloodstone Temple, where a clandestine group of monster hunters gather for a competition over a potent artifact. Additionally, this streaming special garnered attention due to its black-and-white presentation, aiming to replicate the atmospheric ambiance of classic monster movies, such as the original “Wolfman.

“It’s worth noting that ‘Werewolf by Night’ was Marvel’s initial foray into horror cinema. Although they’ve hinted at exploring more of this genre, so far, their productions have mainly steered clear. While there have been horror elements in shows like ‘WandaVision’, ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’, and ‘Agatha All Along’, Marvel hasn’t fully embraced straight-up horror since the release of that special.

Due to the immense success and fan enthusiasm for “Werewolf by Night”, many fans had assumed that a sequel would be released by 2024. However, at present, there’s no sign of production or casting starting, nor does it seem like a script has been written yet. It might be that as the Marvel Cinematic Universe settles and strengthens, they will focus on projects like this one, potentially bringing the sequel to life when they can “get to it”.
