Gael García Bernal on Werewolf by Night and Why He Loves Playing a Monster
325Halloween is just around the corner, and with it comes premieres of plenty of new spooky films — and this year, Marvel’s getting in on the deal. In addition to a handful of other seasonal Disney+ premieres, the superhero mega-studio is premiering Werewolf by Night, a new, hour-long special dedicated to one of comics’ scariest creatures of the night.
Filmed in black-and-white to emulate old monster movies of the past, the special goes somewhere Marvel has never dared to before, following Jack Russell (Gael García Bernal) as he spends a night at Bloodstone Manor, going up against a handful of monster-hunters to compete for the namesake of the infamous Bloodstone family: a ruby-red gem with supernatural powers. What the others don’t know, however, is that Jack might be hiding some powers of his own — ones that could put he and everyone around him in serious danger.
Collider was excited to sit down with Bernal to chat about the special — which is streaming on Disney+ now, in time for the Halloween season — and what it means for him as an actor. During this interview, Bernal discussed the kind of research he did for the role, as well as what in particular draws him to horror, and what it was like making a Marvel special in only five weeks.
