We chat with WerewolfByNight producer Brian Gay discusses the MCU's recent exploration of the supernatural, and future character plans for Elsa, Jack and Man-Thing:
The world of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is getting darker with Werewolf by Night. The Disney+ special centers on Jack Russell, a man afflicted with the curse that turns him into the blood-hungry titular creature that still retains his human intellect.
Brian Gay: It's very fun, if I'm just being completely honest. Because these are movies that we know and love. Specifically with Werewolf by Night, we looked at the classic movies of the ‘30s and ‘40s; the monster movies. These were things that we enjoyed watching either growing up on a Saturday afternoon or in school or whatnot. It felt like, “Well, they did it, we love them, can we make a love letter to these styles of movies.
Brian Gay: No, and the reason is, it's all in the story that we're telling. I like to say that with Marvel Studios, in particular, we try and either put a genre or spin on each one of our shows or movies, like She-Hulk is definitely an amazing comedy that has that workplace bend with the lawyer to it. But that's different than Loki, which has more of a sci-fi approach.
That was the idea that we wanted to set up this concept that, "Hey, everything that you thought you knew, there was even a layer that you had no idea about." So, we want to introduce Jack, and Elsa and all these other characters as part of a world that just makes the MCU feel even bigger.
