Werewolf By Night is a supernatural action film based on the on-again, off again Marvel Comics series and titular character. It fuses elements of the original comic run and the upcoming new one in 2020, but still tells the roots-driven story of Jack Russoff, a werewolf born into the curse of the lycanthrope, as he tries to stop the occult crime lord the Hood from unleashing Hell on Earth. Aided by his fellow werewolf sister Lissa, voodoo priest Jericho Drumm, and the Indian gypsy mage known only as Topaz, Russoff sets out to foil the Hood's plot, all while up-keeping an otherwise uneasy alliance with the monster hunting Bloodstone Family.
It is the first non X-Men lore related Marvel film from Disney subsidiary 20th Century Fox, has a hard-R rating, and does better justice for the preternatural side of the publisher than Disney could ever dream of doing.
