Marvel's highly acclaimed Werewolf By Night may have initially flown under your radar, but Marvel Studios is set to reintroduce the TV special this year, just in time for Halloween. This horror feature is receiving a re-release with an intriguing upgrade.
The eerie tale of a lycanthrope superhero made its debut on Disney+ in 2022, amidst a crowded lineup of releases. Fortunately, audiences are now granted a second opportunity to relish this TV film.
However, there's a significant twist this time around as the MCU special will be presented in "vibrant color" instead of its customary black-and-white, hitting screens on October 20, 2023. This unconventional choice, considering its initial cinematography was lauded for its resemblance to classic monster movies of the 1930s and 40s, promises to infuse new life into this underrated gem, ensuring it receives the recognition it deserves.
It's set to be an interesting twist to Werewolf by Night but it's also a welcome idea for those who enjoyed it the first time around. With that in mind, fans can watch the TV special in a whole new way next month.
