Directed by David F. Sandberg, this year’s Until Dawn movie – now available on Digital at home – is home to a host of different threats, including Wendigos, a slasher maniac, and even a particularly nasty case of spontaneous human explosion. But one monster that was left on the cutting room floor, we’ve now learned through deleted scenes, was a werewolf!

Both an alternate scene shared by Coming Soon and another deleted scene found on the film’s home video release feature the werewolf that was ultimately cut out of Until Dawn!

For starters, one of the deleted scenes shows a man showing up to the Glore Valley Visitor’s Center, first appearing as a raving and terrified man before transforming into a werewolf and terrorizing the film’s core group of characters during a full moon. The transformation mostly takes place behind a closed door, with the sound design painting the picture.

Nowadays, with outlets like Netflix, Hulu and whatever HBO is called this week, comedians who tell dirty jokes can do the exact same thing on sitcoms or animated shows. But before the arrival of streaming and premium cable, a stand-up comic who predominantly worked blue had no place on TV. That is, unless they could play by network TV’s rules, which was no sure thing. The Richard Pryor Show, for example, lasted just four episodes.

There were, however, some comedians who managed to hold off on the f-bombs and make a killing on TV. Here are five of them…

Greg Cannom, the four-time Oscar-winning makeup and prosthetics artist behind such seminal films as Dracula, Mrs. Doubtfire, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Vice, has died at the age of 73.

Rick Baker, a longtime colleague and frequent collaborator, announced the news yesterday on Instagram, writing, “I just heard the sad news of the passing of one of the great make up artists. Greg Cannom. Greg started with me in the 70’s; his first job with me was the sequel to It’s Alive where he not only assisted me in making the baby but also played one of the baby monsters. When I moved out of my first garage workshop Greg moved in. When I out grew my first industrial unit Greg took that over. His work will be remembered long after his passing. Sad news indeed. Rip Greg, you and your work will be missed.”

Greg Cannom, the masterful prosthetics and makeup specialist who received Oscars for his work on Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Mrs. Doubtfire, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Vice, has died. He was 73.

Cannom worked often with makeup maestro Rick Baker early in his career, and Baker on Friday reported his death in an Instagram post. “His work will be remembered long after his passing,” he wrote. No details were immediately available.

In March 2023, a GoFundMe page was set up to help Cannom with expenses as he battled diabetes and a staph infection that led to one of his legs being amputated below his knee.

In addition to his four wins, Cannom received six other Oscar makeup noms: for Hook (1991), Hoffa (1992), Roommates (1995), Titanic (1997), Bicentennial Man (1999) and A Beautiful Mind (2001).

He and Wesley Wofford shared an Academy Award for Technical Achievement in 2005 for “the development of their special modified silicone material...

It's common for a superhero movie to go through multiple iterations before cameras roll and, in some instances, they can change completely during production (see: Captain America: Brave New World).

Thunderbolts* writer Eric Pearson has been doing the rounds to promote the movie and, in an interview with ComicBook.com, revealed some of the ideas he dropped during the early writing stages.

We learned yesterday that U.S. Agent was once Thunderbolts*'s big bad, with John Walker undergoing a Hulk-like transformation. Pearson, however, was eager to unleash the Red Hulk.

"There was a point where I wanted Red Hulk to be the villain and [Marvel Studios] said, 'No,'" the writer confirmed. "I was annoyed and now I’m happy. The Sentry is the perfect person [for the villain role]. Any time you think you have it figured out and they tell you that you can’t do it, you are annoyed."

Pearson went on to say that,...

There was some disappointment when the characters that would make up the team in Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts* were announced (many felt that the super soldier-heavy roster simply didn't feature enough variety), but director Jake Schreier recently revealed that he did originally want to shake things up by adding Man-Thing to the mix.

In a new interview with The Wrap, the filmmaker explains that "Ted" was off-limits due to his appearance in the Werewolf By Night Special Presentation, but a later draft of the Thunderbolts* script introduced Sentry, which more than made up for the lack of a swamp monster.

“I never thought about Man-Thing again,” Schreier admits. “There was so many avenues to go down. That felt like the team was locked at that point.”

Though Thunderbolts* is never particularly graphic, the story does go to dome dark places in its exploration of the crippling effects of depression. Even so,...

After the success of Daredevil: Born Again, everyone hopes that the Marvel Cinematic Universe will keep its momentum with the release of Thunderbolts*. The upcoming team-up movie will shine the spotlight on some of Marvel's most flawed characters, all of whom have done horrible things in their past. But while this team of misfits seems to be the perfect recipe for disaster, the movie's early reactions have been anything but.

Some are calling it Marvel's best movie in recent memory, others highlight its emotional story, and everyone praises Florence Pugh's performance. Oh, and there also appear to be some shocking post-credits scenes added to the mix as well.

Expectations couldn't be any higher heading into the Thunderbolts* premiere. But while Marvel has caught lightning in a bottle yet again with an unlikely team-up of "heroes", it seems the titular roster was set to be very different in the very early stages of development.

The MCU team-up movie, Thunderbolts*, would have featured a famous Marvel monster that MCU fans have been waiting to see return for nearly three years, had director Jake Schreier gotten his way. Thunderbolts* has had its world premiere in London and is only ten days away from kicking off the 2025 summer movie season. The team consists of various anti-heroes from across the MCU, including Yelena Belova, The Winter Soldier, Red Guardian, U.S. Agent, Ghost, and Taskmaster. However, the team almost got a bit of a power boost from a particular monster.

Speaking with Games Radar, Jake Schrierer revealed that when he was pitching the film to Marvel Studios, he wanted to include the fan-favorite character Man-Thing in the movie. Schreier revealed that "it all worked out for the best," but went on to explain his process for why each member of the Thunderbolts* was chosen, possibly shedding light on...

There was some disappointment when the characters that would make up the team in Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts* were announced (many felt that there simply wasn't enough variety), but if director Jake Schreier had got his way early on, the roster would have looked a lot different thanks to the addition of a certain Marvel Comics monster.

While speaking to SFX Magazine (via Games Radar), Schreier revealed that he "really wanted" Man-Thing - who made his MCU debut in the 2022 Werewolf By Night Special Presentation - to be a part of the team.

"I think there was a point during pitching when I really wanted Man-Thing to be on the team," but "it all worked out for the best."

The filmmaker went on to explain how the antiheroes that make up the final team were chosen.

"It was about looking through the MCU and not just finding bad guys who could...

Marvel’s upcoming movie Thunderbolts is just around the corner, and director Jake Schreier has shared something interesting — he originally wanted Man-Thing to be part of the team.

In an interview, Schreier revealed, “I think there was a point during pitching when I really wanted Man-Thing to be on the team.” He was talking about the early stages of planning the movie, when different characters were being considered for the lineup.

But Marvel Studios had different plans for the swamp creature. Instead of joining the Thunderbolts team, Man-Thing made his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in 2022’s Werewolf by Night Halloween special. Schreier said that change “worked out for the best,” suggesting he’s happy with how things turned out in the end.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe's Werewolf by Nightdirector and incoming comic book writer discusses the possibility of another streaming special.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly about his upcoming Marvel Comics one-shot, Werewolf by Night director Michael Giacchino responded to questions of returning for another horror-fueled MCU outing with, "I think I would like to do something with the story that we created for television, but that's got its own thing going and it doesn't quite slot into what's happening currently in Jack's life in the Marvel [comics] world. So there's a little bit of navigating there."

Giacchino went on to note the drastic shift in production for various streaming platforms and studios following the recent decline in the industry. "I would love to do another Werewolf by Night [special] more than anything," Giacchino explained. "I think we're just waiting for the industry to settle into its new norm, whatever that is at this point,...

Michael Giacchinois getting another chance to work on Werewolf by Night. The artist who has built a career for himself by composing the score for major productions is writing a Marvel comic book based around the character. The announcement comes a couple of years after Giacchino directed a Werewolf by Night television special for Marvel Studios and Disney+. The upcoming comic book will be titled "Werewolf by Night: Blood Moon Rise". The story will feature illustrations from artist David Messina, who previously worked with Marvel Comics in titles such as "Ultimate Spider-Man" and "Han Solo & Chewbacca".

The upcoming comic book written by Michael Giacchino will feature Dracula tracking down the titular creature due to a disagreement that took place the last time they were seen together in a Marvel story. The comic book won't be connected to the television special directed by Giacchino, but it will be exciting for fans...

Based on the ‘Wereworld’ novels by Curtis Jobling, ‘Wolf King’ attempts to explore the intricacies of humanity with a werewolf tale: Within the shadowed twilight of history, we have witnessed the continuous transfiguration of the Werewolf tale, with the latest manifestation being when Leigh Whannell’s ‘Wolf Man’ was released back in January of this year. The Werewolf lore has had a long legacy that has endured to the ever-shifting mythos, bending and warping through the ages, until we are left with the creature as we know it today. One of set interpretations unfolded within Curtis Jobling’s ‘Wereworld’ manuscript saga, which spanned until 2013 when the 6th and last book ‘War of the Werelords’ saw the light of day in October, whereupon they succeeded in cultivating a small yet fiercely loyal following, and despite the flames of its success not igniting in the realms of widespread acclaim, it carved a...

Since things haven’t been looking so good for the Marvel Cinematic Universe over the last few months, it seems as if Kevin Feige is playing it extra safe when it comes to Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Expected to be the next big thing in the superhero universe, these films already have us all in a chokehold, and trust us, we do not want to be rescued. With stakes this high, Kevin Feige is looking for 0% risk and 100% blockbuster magic, and he is roping in Marvel Studios’ Og editor for the job.

Jeffrey Ford is the editing mastermind Kevin Feige is bringing back once again. If his name sounds familiar to you, he is the man behind some of the best MCU movies to have come out since its inception. Whether it’s Avengers or Captain America, the man has done it all.

Marvel Rivals features a vast roster of colorful characters, of which fans may recognize Moon Knight. For the uninitiated, Moon Knight is a Marvel Comics character, first introduced during the events of Werewolf by Night back in August 1975.

Behind the mask is Marc Spector, a former CIA operative and Force Recon Marine who was brutally murdered by Raoul Bushman during his time as a mercenary. The God Khonshu opted to resurrect the mortal, bestowing upon him great power and the identity of Moon Knight – a crime-fighting vigilante with barely any superpowers of the sort, relying only on his wits and superhuman reflexes to survive – much akin to one of DC’s finest, Batman.

The character recently gained mainstream popularity with the Moon Knight TV series within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, portrayed by Oscar Issac. To this extent, Netease Games’ free to play hero brawler, Marvel Rivals has also included the...

Over the last two decades, live-action adaptations of video games have become more common. Whether or not many of those adaptations have actually done their source material justice is another story! Aspects like world-building, characterization, and vibes are all huge components that determine the success of a game-to-screen translation.

Within the last few years in particular, video game adaptations have become more appealing for both fans and newcomers by offering new stories, great characters, and loyalty to the source games. I present to you: the top six live-action video game adaptations from the last six years.

In 2019, hope for video games and anime adaptations was given a boost with the release of Pokémon: Detective Pikachu.

Following a successful reinvention of The Invisible Man, writer-director Leigh Whannell set his sights on another classic Universal monster with Wolf Man.

Among the special features on the newly released physical media editions is an audio commentary by the ever-jovial Whannell, with much of the insight directed toward aspiring filmmakers.

Here are nine things I learned from the Wolf Man commentary track…

1. Blue Velvet influenced the opening shot.

The opening shot of the movie, in which ants attack a wasp, proved to be difficult both logistically and practically.

“Quite difficult to wrangle insects. We had to get an insect wrangler in New Zealand,” which stood in for Oregon. “And of course, these ants are attacking this wasp, but this wasp has to live. You have to free the wasp. It was definitely one of those shots that you have to fight for in a movie.”

Whannell was inspired by the...

When Jesse Colin Young’s death was announced on Monday, it was inevitable that “Get Together” — the peace-and-brotherhood anthem that he and the Youngbloods turned into a decades-long radio staple —would be mentioned first. Young neither wrote it nor was the first to record it. But even after it’s been covered by everyone from Joni Mitchell and Jefferson Airplane to Kelly Clarkson, the Youngbloods’ version, with its snuggly harmonies and spiraling guitar, remains definitive, the most reassuring of them all.

That said, Young had more to offer than that song.

Somewhere between light and shadow, justice and obscuration, a forgotten police procedural remains underrated 24 years later. Police dramas have always been a staple of television, drawing audiences into the suspense as they play armchair detectives.

Daredevil: Born Again recently debuted its first two episodes earlier this week in New York, with cast and crew in attendance as audiences got to experience the revival series for the very first time. In a much-needed win for Marvel Studios, the first reactions to the new series were nothing but positive, calling Born Again a return to form for Marvel Television, making it feel as if the characters never left our screens. Filled with plenty of brutality and compelling storytelling, the beginning of the season is seemingly a promising start to the series. Thankfully, fans will have plenty more to look forward to with Season 2 already greenlit and set to release in 2026, and at least one star in the supporting cast has now confirmed their return.

Moon Knight will return to the MCU, but it might not be in the way fans expected. The titularly titled Moon Knight debuted on Disney+ on March 30, 2022, and was the first MCU Disney+ show not based on a previously established character, kicking off a wave of new heroes being introduced on the small screen, like Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. But it doesn't look like we'll be getting another season of the Oscar Isaac starring show anytime soon.

Captain America: Brave New World brings back several iconic Marvel Cinematic Universe characters for yet another high-flying adventure through an ever-expanding world of superheroes and supervillains. The film finds Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) as he continues to make a name for himself as the new Captain America. He and his new partner, Joaquin Torres (Danny Ramirez), work together to unravel a convoluted plot seemingly aimed at the new President of the United States, General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross (Harrison Ford). Along the way, they are forced to take on major dangers, all while war threatens to tear the world apart.

While Sam Wilson is the defining character in Brave New World, Carl Lumbly's Isaiah Bradley is a standout supporting character in the film.

Last year, Charles Band’s company Full Moon announced that they were launching a new production label called Pulp Noir, which would focus on “edgier, weirder, darker horror and dark fantasy films.” Two Pulp Noir movies, Quadrant and Death Streamer, have since made their way through production – and while those movies were initially released in color, all of the Pulp Noir movies will also get black & white “noir” releases, so there are both color and black & white versions of Quadrant and Death Streamer available on the Full Moon Features streaming service. While we wait for more Pulp Noir movies to be made, Band has started going through the Full Moon library to give some of their older films the black & white / noir treatment.

Martin Scorsese is quite literally a living legend. The director has created some of the most iconic and influential films of his time. From his first films in the late 1960s to as recently as two years ago, Scorsese has kept busy making all sorts of movies, most recently releasing The Irishman in 2019 and Killers of the Flower Moon in 2023. The acclaimed filmmaker has also executive-produced plenty of other filmmakers' projects and advocated for preserving the movie-going experience. In doing so, Scorsese will make his opinion known on all the latest movies by up-and-coming filmmakers.

Just recently, Scorsese made it a point to sing his praises of Robert Eggers' latest Gothic Horror film, Nosferatu. In a conversation with TCM host Dave Karger at the 92nd St Y, the Taxi Driver director talked about a myriad of topics. Among the talking points during the panel was his recent collaboration with Steven Spielberg and Paul Thomas Anderson.

The Wolf of Snow Hollow, one of modern horror's most underappreciated movies, will land on Tubi next February. Considering Leigh Whannell's newest adaptation of the horror subgenre, Wolf Man, wasn’t exactly as acclaimed as everyone hoped, we still have to rely on the werewolf movies that can make an impact. Jim Cummings' The Wolf of Snow Hollow is one of them.

The Wolf of Snow Hollow can be streamed for free on the platform with one of the finest collections in today's streaming landscape. Other horror titles that have also recently joined the free service include two Stephen King movies (Misery and The Boogeyman), and both the 1979 and 2005 versions of The Amityville Horror. In terms of other genres, you will also be able to stream 1984's The Terminator, the legacy sequel Bill & Ted Face The Music, and dramas like Monster's Ball and Selena.

Quick Links2025's First Horror Movie Is All Bark and No BiteWhy Wolf Man Limps as a Remake and a Standalone Horror MovieHow Robert Eggers Can Save Werewolf Horror Movies

2024's Nosferatu was one of that year's biggest horror hits, with the movie releasing after what seemed like a difficult year for horror. This cinematic salvation was not only for horror as a whole, but specifically the vampire movie genre. Director Robert Eggers is now seen as an auteur of the genre, and his movie-making mastery might be needed to fix another horror staple.

Werewolf movies aren't in great shape themselves, especially after the recent letdown of a Universal Monsters remake. The 2025 version of Wolf Manhas had a lukewarm reception at best, and this is being reflected in its box office underperformance. Thankfully, an upcoming film by Eggers might see the director redeem lycans in the same way that he did bloodsuckers.

Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man Secret ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Andrew Garfield isn’t into lying, but for No Way Home, he mastered it, even tricking Emma Stone about his return.

“Emma kept on texting me,” Garfield shared on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. Her texts? Straight to the point: “Are you in this new Spider-Man film?” His replies? Total denial. “I was like, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.’” Stone didn’t let up. “Shut up, just tell me,” she demanded. Garfield played it cool: “Honestly, don’t know what…”

Having seen the film, Stone had just one thing to say: “You’re a jerk.”

The older I get the more I appreciate and connect with Werewolf of London. It is a movie that does not follow the established rules of werewolf movies because it was created in a time before those rules were written. Many, if not most, of the most notable and enduring films of the subgenre deal in externalizing the internal struggles of the young using the metaphor of the beast within. Most of these characters are breaking away from their parents and childhoods, seeking to make their own way in the world.

Though Larry Talbot in The Wolf Man (1941) appears in the mature body of Lon Chaney, Jr., he is in many ways an angsty teenager tormented by the conflicting feelings of simultaneously falling in love for the first time while part of himself that he cannot control wishes to ravage her and tear her to shreds in the process.

The McU's Multiverse Saga has received mixed reviews from fans, with most of them leaning toward the negative end of the spectrum.

While I do agree that many projects that've come out since Avengers: Endgame haven't been as strong, I still have faith that the MCU will once again be on the right track. One way they could right themselves is by focusing on more of the supernatural characters that abound in Marvel Comics, and no other character would do that than the Macabre Man-Thing!

Who is Man-Thing?

Man-Thing first appeared in the Marvel Magazine Savage Tales #1 in May of 1971, and was created by Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, Gerry Conway, and Gray Morrow. Savage Tales was a line of black and white magazines that implemented a myriad of writers and artists to come up with stories with various characters that were established, such as Conan the Barbarian, behind-the-scenes facts about films,...

Werewolf movies have been a staple of horror for decades, embodying the primal fear of losing control and becoming a beast. Whether it’s the gothic tragedy of The Wolf Man (1941) or the groundbreaking practical effects of An American Werewolf in London (1981), these films have cemented themselves as cultural icons.

But here’s the thing about werewolf movies—they rarely go stale. Even the bad ones have a certain charm, tapping into the visceral thrill of seeing humans transform into monsters under the glow of a full moon. There’s something timeless about this subgenre, whether it leans into campy B-movie territory, deep psychological horror, or full-throttle gore.

With Wolf Man (2025) now in theaters (and not doing too well), it feels like the perfect time to take a closer look at some of the most notable werewolf films from the 2010s to today. As someone who loves this genre so...

When it comes to the Universal Monsters, The Wolfman is unique. Unlike Dracula and Frankenstein, who originated in literature, The Wolfman and his alter ego, Lawrence Talbot, are original characters Universal Pictures owns based on werewolf lore. 1941's The Wolf Man might not be Universal Pictures' first werewolf movie (that would be 1935's Werewolf in Paris), but it certainly is an iconic piece of horror cinema. Lon Channey Jr.'s everyman portrayal makes the character the most tragic Universal Monster.

Its influence can be seen in nearly every werewolf movie since. 2025 sees Leigh Whannell bring the monster to the big screen once again in Wolf Man,...

Werewolf films have never had the same cultural impact as vampire movies, or kaiju movies, or ghost stories, but in many ways that lesser renown is a selling point. Because it's a subgenre less codified by Hollywood, and less subject to certain tropes, the werewolf film has been able to,...

It’s been said that all monster movies fit into at least one of three categories. Werewolf movies play on the notion that within every man lives a beast waiting to be unleashed. Vampire films tap into our collective fear of the unknown, which can encompass everything from the threat of disease to the perception of strangers as potential predators. And Frankenstein stories explore the risks when man plays God, creating life and facing the consequences.

Blumhouse’s shrewd 2020 reboot of the classic Universal horror film “The Invisible Man” cleverly played off the latter two, as Elisabeth Moss embodied a woman trying to escape an abusive relationship with a mad scientist. Directed by Leigh Whannell, the low-budget thriller was so successful that Universal rushed to adapt other titles from its classic monsters catalog, imagining a “Dark Universe” series that would update — and eventually connect — them all.

Somewhere along the way,...

With new versions of Wolf Man and Frankenstein arriving in 2025, the Universal Monsters are very much the center of attention. However, during the golden age of horror, Universal Pictures also produced a variety of lesser-known masterpieces that can stand up to heavy hitters like Dracula. What follows are ten of the studio's best fright features that are not familiar to everyone — but they should be.

The most famous Universal horror films are carried by iconic characters like the Count and Frankenstein's Monster, and the charisma of actors like Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff. However, their best performances are not necessarily in their best-known movies, and this list includes smaller but equally-high quality. These ten supernatural shockers, Satanic thrillers, and hilarious horror comedies prove that Universal Pictures has much more to offer fans than the usual suspects.

The First Universal Werewolf Film Appeared 6 Years Before The Wolf Man

Andrew Garfield knows nobody will believe him when he says he won't be in Spider-Man 4. Which means...maybe he will be? Garfield played Peter Parker/Spider-Man in 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man and 2014's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 before his tenure as the web-head was cut short when Sony Pictures decided to reboot the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Seven years later, Garfield got to reprise his role and star alongside both Tom Holland and Tobey Maguire's versions of Spider-Man in Spider-Man: No Way Home...after Garfield spent nearly a year telling the press he was not in the film.

With Spider-Man 4 set to begin filming soon, rumors have already circulated that Garfield will once again reprise his role as what the MCU refers to as "Peter-3" or "The Amazing Spider-Man" in the upcoming film. While speaking with GQ, Garfield said, "I’m gonna disappoint you,” when...

Andrew Garfield is denying rumors that he is set to appear in “Spider-Man 4” with Tom Holland to reprise his role from the “Amazing Spider-Man” films and 2021’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home.”

In a GQ UK interview published Thursday, the actor acknowledged that fans might be skeptical of his denial, given his past history with Marvel movies.

“I’m going to disappoint you. Yeah, no,” Garfield said when asked about the “Spider-Man 4” rumors. “But I know no one’s going to trust anything I say from now on.”

In 2021, Garfield followed Marvel’s notoriously strict code of omertà and repeatedly said he wouldn’t be in “Spider-Man: No Way Home” — but then surprised audiences by appearing alongside fellow Spider-Men Tom Holland and Tobey Maguire in the film, which went on to earn $1.9 billion worldwide.

Regarding potential future franchise roles, Garfield explained he’d consider it if it felt meaningful and enjoyable.

Werewolf movies have a long history going back to at least 1913 with the short film called The Werewolf (though it was Universal's The Wolf Man in 1941 that really launched the creature into the public consciousness). The subgenre has been overdone since then but, when handled well, werewolf movies can still be a ton of fun. Unfortunately, they are trickier to pull off than one might expect, with the result that there are countless awful werewolf flicks out there.

The Multiverse Saga has been an extensive chapter for Marvel Studios, full of highs and lows. Although a lot of people have been harsh on the franchise due to some of its shortcomings, it is understandable to see why the studio struggled so much this time around; because when you introduce more characters, storylines, and universes, there are far more opportunities to get it right... and also far more to get it wrong. And boy did they introduce plenty of new characters.

Among the new additions this saga have been Shang-Chi, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, Agatha Harkness, Monica Rambeau, Moon Knight, Layla El-Faouly, Billy and Tommy Maximoff, Kate Bishop, Yelena Belova, Wolverine and more. It's all been about introducing a new generation of heroes into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, adapting characters the franchise had not yet managed to adapt, and presenting them all as major players in the Multiverse Saga.

That being said,...

A couple of leaked screenshots from The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell's Wolf Man reboot have found their way online (via Reddit), and they reveal our first glimpse of the movie's other werewolf.

Our first look at what was assumed to be the titular Wolfman via an actor in a costume at Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights was met with a lot of backlash, but the most recent trailer appeared to confirm that this will be the creature responsible for the initial attack, leaving Christopher Abbott's Blake to change into a different beast altogether.

Whannell addressed the negative response during an interview with NME.

“The marketing department for a movie is so huge,” he said, “it’s really impossible to keep tabs on every single thing. So when something comes out that maybe the internet decides they don’t like, the only thing I can think is: ‘Well,...

Warning: contains spoilers for Werewolf by Night #4!

Marvel has just made a surprise MCU star its new version of the Hulk, and now all he needs to do is kill the original. The Hulk, fueled by anger and rage, has left a trail of destruction across the Marvel Universe. He is in a class of his own, but as seen in Werewolf by Night #4, the titular character has received a rage-induced upgrade.

Werewolf by Night #4 is written by Jason Loo and drawn by Sergio Davila. The Werewolf, along with Elsa Bloodstone, is being held prisoner by Ka-Zar in the Savage Land. Suddenly, a giant monster emerges from the ground, and rampages through the Land. Ka-Zar’s forces are powerless, but Elsa suggests he free the Werewolf to help. The Werewolf, in a stage of sheer rage, manages to kill the monster... as well as many others. Angered, Ka-Zar exiles them from the Savage Land,...

The tagline for Werewolves didn’t need to be anything more “Frank Grillo Werewolf Movie” because as fans of Action’s B-Movie Megastar, that’s all we needed to know. You like Frank Grillo? You like Werewolves? Well good news, fellow Venn Diagram movie fan, we’re getting it all in Steven C. Miller’s Werewolves!

Now I know we’re all worried about Climate Change, but have any of us taking a second to consider that while the Earth has us looking to the right, the Moon is coming in for the kill to the left?! That’s essentially the premise of Werewolves. In the near future, a cataclysmic event is brewing that threatens life as we know it. Thanks to a Supernatural Super Blood Moon, anyone caught under the silver glow of that big rock in the sky is suddenly transformed into a snarling beast. And in an...

Werewolves seem to be going through a bit of a comeback. From The Wolfman to The Beast Within, it certainly feels like there’s more happening within the subgenre than ever before. Yet they do often feel very…samey. They often involve a man being bitten by a mysterious creature and then having to fight the urges of his werewolf counterpart. This is why it’s so exciting that we’re finally getting a film involving Werewolves that breaks the mold and does something different. And boy oh boy is it different. With an entire planet filled with Werewolves and practical FX that are sure to satisfy, this is the Werewolf movie we’ve always wanted. You can check out my glowing review of Werewolves Here.

I was fortunate enough to talk to star Frank Grillo and director Steven C. Miller about all things Werewolves. Grillo is always the man...

Plot: A supermoon event has triggered a latent gene in every human on the planet, turning anyone who entered the moonlight into a werewolf for that one night. Chaos ensued and close to a billion people died. Now, a year later, the Supermoon is back…

Review: It feels like werewolves are going through a bit of a resurgence. It may not be as crazy as slashers in the early 80s or zombie films in the 2000s, but it’s hard to deny. From The Beast Within, Werewolves Within, to The Wolf Man, lycanthropic endeavors seem on the rise. And who better to lead some Werewolf mayhem than action star extraordinaire, Frank Grillo! In Werewolves, a supermoon event turned anyone who touched moonlight into a werewolf one year prior. Billions of people died and it was a global tragedy. Now, the Supermoon is back and the world must prepare for the monster mayhem to come.

Marvel Studios' Moon Knight premiered on Disney+ in 2022 and, unfortunately, ended up being largely overshadowed during what proved to be another jam-packed year for the MCU both in theaters and on streaming.

The series, while not perfect, received a largely positive response but the character hasn't been seen since.

Doing press for Moon Knight, lead star Oscar Isaac confirmed on multiple occasions that he only signed up for a single season, meaning a new deal will need to be negotiated if the story of Marc Spector/Steven Grant/Jake Lockley is to continue.

Has that finally happened? According to insider @MyTimeToShineH, the current plan is for Moon Knight to return in the next Avengers movies (Doomsday and/or Secret Wars) and that long-rumoured Midnight Suns movie.

Had Kang still been the Multiverse Saga's big bad, chances are Moon Knight would have been going one-on-one with the villain's Rama-Tut Variant. What...
