Director Michael Giacchino has revealed that he actually surprised Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige with his night werewolf ground.
In the summer of 2021, it was revealed that Marvel Studios was developing some kind of horror-based project with sources leaning towards night werewolf as the subject of the project. Eventually, composer Michael Giacchino was revealed as the project’s director. Gael Garcia Bernal finally joined the lead of the special with the first trailer debuting during D23. Now, it looks like the project was the director’s idea.
Speaking to Screen Rant at the D23 event, Michael Giacchino revealed that he actually surprised Kevin Feige with the idea. The studio president asked the composer what project he would like to do and gave him a bit of a headache by revealing what he wanted to do:
“It was funny because [Kevin Feige] was talking to me and said, ‘So, what would you like to do?’ And I was like, ‘I want to do Werewolf by Night.’ And he looked at me like, ‘Really? Like really? Werewolf–’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, that’s what I want.’ He was like, ‘Wow. Alright Alright. Let’s talk about it. And the conversation went on, and on, and on, and then, and here we are now.
