Marvel Studios is known for crossing genres, tones and genres, but in October the MCU will be receiving its first Halloween special.
The long-rumored Werewolf by Night TV special will hit Disney+ in October, marking the release of Marvel Studios’ first holiday presentation. The werewolf-centric story of Gael GarcÃa Bernal recently got its first trailer at D23, showing off a dark and spooky horror genre for the MCU.
The trailer also confirmed an October release date for Werewolf By Night, which will arrive on Disney+ alongside several exciting Halloween titles.
To mark the occasion, Disney is hosting a very special in-person Halloween event for fans.
Disney+ Hosting Marvel Halloween Event
Along with the announcement of its Halloween slate, it was announced on Disney+’s social media channels that a special screening would be held for fans in Los Angeles.
On Saturday, October 8, Marvel fans will have the chance to attend a double feature presentation of two MCU Halloween titles at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles.
Starting at 9:30 p.m., WandaVision’s Halloween Spooktacular episode will be followed by Werewolf by Night.
Ticket reservations will open to the public on Monday 26 September at 10:00 a.m. PDT.
Marvel Studios celebrates Halloween
Werewolf By Night will be the first of its kind special that Marvel Studios has released on Disney+, making it a truly game-changing event for fans. The MCU has previously celebrated the Halloween holiday in the sixth episode of WandaVision, so this double feature is truly a match made in heaven.
Werewolf By Night will reportedly last just under an hour, paired with WandaVision’s 38-minute “Halloween Spooktacular” episode, which should make for about 90 minutes of Marvel content at the Disney+ event.
Halloween isn’t the only holiday Marvel Studios will celebrate this year with James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy holiday special releasing just in time for the Christmas season. Marvel projects like Iron Man 3 and Hawkeye have celebrated the Christmas spirit in the past, so if Disney+ wants to continue with its holiday screening programs, there’s plenty of content to choose from.
