Following The Premise Of Werewolf By Night

He later does manage to gain the ability to transfer according to his will but the upcoming film is yet to reveal anything about the same.
The plot of the film follows the passing of their commander, a clandestine club of monster hunters congregates at Bloodstone Manor to compete in a deadly game for a potent artifact that will pit them against a terrifying beast. So far the film has only revealed a teaser and part of its plot. Director Michael Giacchino had stated upon the announcement that he had never imagined himself stepping out of his comfort of producing and composing music. However, he is more than pleased to be in charge of the project.
Michael Giacchino has previously composed music for Tom Holland’s Spider-Man Trilogy as well as Doctor Strange and Thor: Love and Thunder within the MCU. He also composed the music for Robert Pattinson’s The Batman. All of these movies’ have highly acclaimed soundtracks which are can be put on a loop for one to listen to.
Werewolf By Night Breaking Records For Marvel Even Before Its Release
Werewolf By Night has managed to already bag a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes which makes it the MCU’s highest-rated project yet. This slot was previously held by Black Panther with a rating of 96%. The film has not only broken a record for Marvel, but it has also made its spot with the rare few projects that received this rating.
Fans who had been ecstatic about the movie were further overjoyed after Rotten Tomatoes revealed the rating for the film.
“A love letter to classic monster horror films with a little bit of Marvel sprinkled in — and it is fantastic. Marvel took a big risk adding something so unique into the middle of Phase 4, but it really pays off.”
Critics went out of their way to praise the classic horror telling of the movie and how the fact of it being a Marvel movie makes it even better. So far Marvel has tried a lot of different things with their Disney+ projects, all having ranging reviews, some more positive while others are negative. Wandavision has been Marvel’s first risk with something new and the way the audience responded was enough for the MCU to not stop trying.
