Marvel Reveals Full Cast For 'WEREWOLF BY NIGHT' Halloween Special Coming To Disney+

Disney wastes no time and they are already gearing up for Halloween 2022. In addition to the much anticipated sequel to Hocus Pocus, the media giant has begun revealing who is involved with the ‘Werewolf By Night’ Halloween Special.

It was confirmed today that Gael Garcia Bernal (pictured above in M. Night Shyamalan’s Old) is playing a character who is capable of transforming into a werewolf while retaining human intellects, reports Deadline.

Here’s where things get juicy. They add that Laura Donnelly (pictured below in “The Nevers”, Dredd) has also joined the cast, speculating that she could potentially be Nina Price, who becomes Vampire by Night!

“Price is the niece of the character Jack Russell/Werewolf by Night and a vampire/werewolf hybrid. She carried the Lycan gene and was further changed after being bitten by a vampire.”

Wikipedia explains, “Jack Russell is a descendant of the mystically-altered offshoot of humans known as Lycanthropes. During the night of the full moon and the two nights surrounding it he is forced to mutate into a werewolf, a large, powerful form which is a hybrid of human and wolf, and loses his human intellect. Through a series of events, he is also capable of mutating voluntarily outside of the full moon, at which time he remains in control.”

Remember, Werewolf By Night introduced the world to ‘Moon Knight’ in issue #32 of the original Marvel Comic. Moon Knight has already been confirmed for his own series by Disney but could we see him appear in ‘Werewolf By Night'? We shall wait and see.
