A Marvel Monster Movie

The new Werewolf By Night featurette sees director Michael Giacchino discussing why he chose to approach the Marvel project in the style of a classic monster movie, touching upon the power of such movies.

“I love monster movies because they’re such allegories for feeling different from everyone else,” says Giacchino in the new featurette. Kevin Feige also reveals that Werewolf By Night is “introducing a world that will ultimately become quite important to the future of the MCU.”
