Marvel Studios has had to learn and adjust on the fly over the past two years as they’ve rolled out streaming content onto Disney Plus. The first batch of streaming series was greatly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the second wave of series was, according to social media, too long and too short all at once. Part of the adjustment to that criticism was the evolution of Special Presentations, two of which debuted to leave reviews late this year and, it seems, Marvel Studios is going with the old axiom of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” when it comes to those.
A new rumor from insider Daniel RPK indicates that after the howling success of their first Special Presentation, Werewolf By Night, Marvel Studios has two more Halloween-themed specials in the works. There’s no word on what characters or teams might be the focus of these two follow-ups but there’s also no shortage of intriguing possibilities.
One Above All Kevin Feige has been keen on bringing Marvel’s Spirit of Vengeance, Ghost Rider, to the MCU and a Johnny Blaze Special Presentation might help the head honcho speed up his rumored goal of getting Danny Ketch into the fray sooner rather than later. Another possibility could simply be a direct sequel to Werewolf By Night that follows up the continuing adventures of Jack Russell, Ted/Man-Thing and Elsa. Of course, outside of these two possibilities, there exists any number of new characters that the studio may wish to introduce ahead of a potential Midnight Sons team-up that Moon Knight star Oscar Isaac is championing or the must-see-TV that would be a Legion of Monsters series.
This is certainly one of the most reasonable and realistic rumors we’ve heard this week and while it’s hard to pin down who to expect, it seems a safe bet that a Werewolf By Night follow-up or two is on the way.
