Marvel’s ‘Werewolf By Night’ Described As A ‘Comedy’ By Disney Plus

If you couldn’t tell by the trailer, Marvel’s Werewolf By Night special coming to Disney Plus next month is indeed a comedy.

Surprise.

The official Werewolf By Night Disney Plus page lists the show’s synopsis, with the “Genre” listed as a “Comedy.”

The trailer (watch below) is an obvious spoof on classic horror films, so confirmation the special is a comedy shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise.

Werewolf By Night synopsis:

On a dark and somber night, a secret cabal of monster hunters emerge from the shadows and gather at the foreboding Bloodstone Temple following the death of their leader. In a strange and macabre memorial to the leader’s life, the attendees are thrust into a mysterious and deadly competition for a powerful relic—a hunt that will ultimately bring them face to face with a dangerous monster.

On a dark and somber night, a secret cabal of monster hunters emerge from the shadows and gather at the foreboding Bloodstone Temple following the death of their leader. In a strange and macabre memorial to the leader’s life, the attendees are thrust into a mysterious and deadly competition for a powerful relic—a hunt that will ultimately bring them face to face with a dangerous monster. Inspired by horror films of the 1930s and 1940s, the chilling special aims to evoke a sense of dread and the macabre, with plenty of suspense and scares along the way as we explore a new corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

We also get a look at Werewolf By Night in recently released concept art for the Avengers Campus expansion featuring King Thanos.
