Gael Garcia Bernal talks about his entrance into the Marvel Universe as Jack Russell in DisneyPlus’ WerewolfbyNight.
as Jack Russell, a monster hunter afflicted with a curse that turns him into a werewolf, in the dread-filled and macabre Halloween special “I was immediately on board,” Bernal says of joining the project, which is a major departure in tone, style and storytelling for the MCU. “Seeing that in this Marvel Universe and the infrastructure that exists, we can try out different things and experiment as well with this new character.
Directed by Michael Giacchino, the black-and-white film draws inspiration from ‘30s and ‘40s horror and film noir classics as a secret cabal of monster hunters gather at the Bloodstone Temple to mourn the death of their leader, Ulysses Bloodstone , and find themselves in a deadly competition for a powerful relic as they determine who takes over next.
As for the physical transformation required, Bernal spent “close to four hours” in the makeup chair getting ready. “At the beginning, it was a long process,” he says. “But then it started to get, you know, maybe the fastest we did was, like, two hours.”
