As Halloween nears, the discussion about the supernatural elements in the Marvel Cinematic Universe resurfaces once more. Despite all the buzz and hints about future projects from the franchise, there’s been a noticeable lack of focus on the horror genre. The only notable exception is Agatha All Along, an upcoming Disney+ series that serves as a continuation of sorts to WandaVision. This show revolves around the story of Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) following the events of WandaVision.
In a recent interview, Marvel producer Brad Winderbaum clarified Marvel Studios’ perspective on their supernatural/horror content, particularly regarding Agatha All Along. Essentially, he stated that Marvel isn’t focusing on horror as a specific genre but rather exploring the darker or frightening narratives that various creators might wish to develop.
As a gamer, I get it that every storyteller has their unique vision, and this translates differently across various genres, especially when it comes to creating a chilling atmosphere. For instance, the fear evoked in “Agatha” won’t be the same as in “Marvel Zombies,” or “Blade,” or even “Moon Knight.” The filmmaker’s intent plays a significant role in determining which horror elements we as viewers are meant to pick up on. This isn’t just exclusive to horror; it applies to any genre we dive into. After all, there are countless ways to spin a tale.
The projects Winderbaum mentions clearly span a broad spectrum of supernatural/horror genres. Agatha All Along seems to be following in the footsteps of movies like Hocus Pocus and Beetlejuice, with a comedic twist on the supernatural; Marvel Zombies will deliver a horror experience through animated zombie apocalypse scenes; however, it’s unclear what kind of action-horror blend we can expect from Blade, as its original trilogy was known for blending martial arts action with Rated-R horror and comic book elements. There have been whispers that Marvel Studios may have taken a drastically different approach with the reboot of the MCU’s Blade, making it almost unrecognizable from its roots.
After that, the Marvel Special Presentations focused on a fan favorite film titled Werewolf By Night. This special introduction sparked an epic tale of Marvel Monster Hunters, with Werewolf By Night, Elsa Bloodstone, and Man-Thing taking center stage. These characters share the limelight with Shang-Chi, Shuri/Black Panther II, the Eternals, and many others who are currently in development. The future of Moon Knight remains unclear as well.
For now: Here’s Everything We Do Know About Upcoming MCU Projects
Agatha All Along will premiere on Disney + on September 18th.
