We spoke w/ KirkThatcher about when he realized WerewolfByNight was going to be something special.
Marvel Studios’ Werewolf by Night took us all by surprise by showing what a true horror story would look like in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and we can’t wait to have more of its amazing characters. Besides diving deep into the B-horror tradition for Werewolf by Night, director Michael Giacchino also brought a group of very talented stars to elevate his monster movie.
For a long while, all Thatcher knew about his character was that he was Scottish. Thatcher says, “I just knew enough to not ask because I didn't want to know things that I could accidentally spill.” Marvel Studios is careful about their secrets, and being a Hollywood veteran helped Thatcher to accept he would only learn about detail when he was on set. However, little by little, Thatcher began to learn more about his character, though.
Even two days before shooting, Thatcher was left in the dark about some of the movie’s major secrets because his copy of the script didn’t reveal the full picture. Thatcher was so oblivious about what was going on in Werewolf by Night that he didn’t even know he would be part of some sort of competition. The first scene he shot was at Ulysses Bloodstone's funeral, and Thatcher thought the vibe of the moment was supposed to be joyous.
Ignoring the script also led to much extra work behind cameras, as Thatcher tried to learn the stunts he needed to perform during his fight with the other hunters. For Thatcher, “a lot of my time, when I wasn't on set, was stunt rehearsals, learning how to swing the ax, so it looks good on camera, and how to shove someone's head into a wall without actually shoving their head into a stone wall.
