Let Werewolf by Night be a lesson to Marvel Studios and the Marvel Cinematic Universe; sometimes, there’s no greater enemy to creativity than blockbuster expectations. Indeed, with Phase Four’s introduction of exclusive Disney Plus content, the MCU suddenly found itself with untapped creative freedom, which perhaps peaked with Werewolf by Night, a black-and-white television special that evoked the classic monster films of yore, with plenty of gore to boot.
Werewolf by Night also had the honor of introducing Elsa Bloodstone, whose badassery is destined for more screentime. However, given the relative isolation that the Special Presentation has to the MCU (comparable to the similarly dark Moon Knight), there’s no clear answer on when or where Elsa could pop up next. Of course, when it comes to speculation, leave it to r/marvelstudios to cover all the bases before creating entirely new ones out of thin air.
