When the WerewolfByNight script was being written, GaelGarciaB was the only person they had in mind for Jack Russell.
Gael García Bernal made his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the studio's first event film, Werewolf By Night, which premiered on Disney+ earlier this month. Directed by legendary composer Michael Giacchino, the film was met with critical acclaim by both critics and fans alike, earning the film an extremely fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Bernal was cast as the lead for Marvel's first Halloween special last November, but based on our interview with Quinn, it sounds like they always knew that he was going to be what made the film work. Quinn shared that she learned that she would be writing the script while she was still on set for Hawkeye in early 2020 and that the film's entire process from inception to premiere had an impressive 18-month turnaround.
One of the things that makes Werewolf By Night work as well as it does, is the connection between Jack and Elsa Bloodstone as they forge an unlikely friendship over the course of a very chaotic evening. Quinn shared that, while nothing major changed between the finished script and once they began filming, there were some small changes, which included adapting dialogue to match Bernal and Donnelly's voices.
A good moment that comes to mind is when we were shooting the moment where Man-Thing's hand reaches out through the bush and pulls him in. It's a jump moment and then there's a pause, and he laughs, and he falls back and grabs his hand and kind of hugs it. When we shot that, behind the monitors we all just kind of swooned because we were like, "Oh, that's like the love between these two.
Stay tuned for our full interview with Heather Quinn, where she discusses the connection between Jack and Elsa, the comic books that influenced the script, and how Bernal was always going to be their Jack Russell. In the meantime, check out our interview with the film's director:
