Disney has just released a new Marvel project without much fanfare – and fans are calling it the best MCU project since the Avengers films.

The new one-off Disney Plus special is calledWerewolf by Night, and is directed by Michael Giacchino, who is the composer beind many Marvel releases, as well as the TV show LOST.

Shot in black-and-white, the 55-minute long special sees five monster hunters take part in a competitive hunt in order to succeed Ulysses Bloodstone as their new leader.

The quality of the special, which stars Gael García Bernal, Laura Donnelly and Harriet Sansom Harris, has taken fans by surprise.

“That was the best MCU project I’ve seen in a hot minute and it was really pleasantly enjoyable,” one viewer wrote, while another agreed: “Werewolf by Night is not only one of the best phase 4 projects but just one of the best mcu projects in general.”
