Werewolf By Night could get a follow-up "if it all makes sense", with director Michael Giacchino explaining that he has "a lot of ideas" for the characters his MCU debut introduced.
The new Marvel 'Special Presentation' doesn't just set up Jack (Werewolf By Night), but also Ted (Man-Thing), who form something of a double act. Speaking to IGN, Giacchino made clear that he doesn't necessarily see them as a one-off partnership despite the standalone feature they appear in:
"I have a lot of ideas of what to do with them, and it goes across the board from left to right. There's a lot you can do with them. I think that they worked amazingly together and they really do feel like friends, which is really incredible. Now's our time to figure out what we want to do."
Giacchino explains that his focus up until now has been on getting his first feature into the world, but he now has the time to think about what could come next: " I don't know which direction it's going to go. I'm not sure. But most of our time had been just working to get this thing out the door. Now that it's out the door, I think we have some time to look back and think about everything we've done and where we want to go. And if it all makes sense, we'll see."
It seems Kevin Feige already has ideas for the future of the pair, after he explained that the movie introduces "a world that will ultimately become quite important to the future of the MCU." It's a notable world for Marvel for more than reason - not least how unexpectedly gory it is.
Werewolf By Night arrived this week as a Halloween-adjacent Marvel treat. In a 9/10 review, we said it's "a wondrous homage to the classic Universal monster movies," and added "it will keep you on the edge of your seat with a slow, creeping tone that captures the very best of classic horror."
