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.

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.
