Although there has been very little official information about it, Marvel Studios’ Werewolf by Night Halloween Special is certainly getting a lot of attention, and a new Moon Knight featurette has again brought another tease for one of the other supernatural Marvel characters heading to the MCU. Werewolf by Night is rumored to make an appearance in Moon Knight, and although Oscar Isaac has made it clear that the new series will not rely on a lot of Marvel Easter eggs, that doesn’t mean it won’t introduce a few future teases and lead-ins.

There are very few things left to chance or coincidence by Marvel Studios and everything is usually done for a reason. With that in mind, a new featurette sees Moon Knight’s lead stars sitting in a room having been “put there to stop spoilers getting out.” In the fun little piece, the trio of stars reflect on the show, with some well-timed bleeps blocking out some meaty spoilers, but in a room filled with photographs and Marvel memes, there is one piece of art in the background that has caught the attention of eagle-eyed fans.

As well as multiple images of “Employee of the Month” Doctor Strange, a poster featuring Thanos with the caption “It’s a Snap” and more, sitting on a table between Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke is a framed image of Werewolf By Night #32, the edition of the comic that also featured the first appearance of Moon Knight. There is obviously every possibility that the comic is there as a reference to Moon Knight himself. There are many more prominent comic covers that could have been used, leading many to think this is another case of Marvel toying with fans to see how observant they are.

Werewolf by Night Is Coming But We Still Don’t Know When He Will Make His Debut

While Marvel’s slate of upcoming series and movies is pretty clear until the end of summer 2023, the Halloween Special featuring Werewolf by Night was originally rumored to be arriving on Disney+ this fall. With the one-off show seemingly moving towards filming, with pre-production and casting currently ongoing, it does seem a little tight for the special to drop this Halloween, which would then push it back to next year, which is more likely considering the amount of visual effects that will be incorporated into the story.

Despite that, there is still some debate as to when Werewolf by Night, who will be played by Gael Garcia Bernal, will actually make his first appearance in the MCU, with the Moon Knight series being the favored project to deliver a first look at even just his human-form. If the Halloween Special is being released next year, then it would make sense for the character to make a cameo appearance around now, as Marvel do like to drop hints to a character’s arrival a while before it happens. With Moon Knight being rooted firmly in a supernatural genre, then it could be the perfect place to give a glimpse at the other dark beings of the MCU’s future.
