Marvel Studios is churning out movies and TV shows faster than people can watch them. Even though some were hits like WandaVision, but others like Hawkeye and Ms. Marvel came and went. Another little movie that premiered only on Disney+ and was barely acknowledged by Marvel fans was Werewolf by Night. And now, Marvel Studios is reportedly planning 2 more of such special presentations with Man Thing and Ghost Rider.
The Man Thing Is Coming
Marvel Studios Special Presentation Werewolf by Night told the story of Jack Russell, Man Thing, and Elsa Bloodstone. Russell is the titular werewolf who turns at night and wrecks havoc on the hunters who are trying to kill him. He and Man thing (a swamp creature) are friends. And after the Special Presentation aired, many fans wanted to see more of the sweet but dangerous creature. And now it looks like their wishes have come true.
As per the Twitter account MCU Updates, Marvel is indeed developing a Special for Man Thing. Check out the tweet below:

Since Man Thing and Jack Russell were seen together at the end of the special, so it’s not unreasonable to expect that he might feature in it too. And if we are lucky we will see Elsa Bloodstone in it too.
Ghost Rider Special In Development
One of the biggest bombs to drop recently is the rumour that Marvel Studios is indeed developing a Ghost Rider special for Disney+. The initial rumours came from MCU Updates, and here’s the tweet below:

Fans have wanted to see Ghost Rider for a long time in the MCU. Years ago, there were plans to make a Robbie Reyes/ Ghost Rider series with Gabriel Luna stepping in as the lead character. This was apparently planned after the character appeared in Agents of Shield. The show was scheduled for airing in 2020.
But the project was ultimately scrapped. But now it looks like a new Ghost Rider 1-hour special could be in development. And with Agents of Shield’s Quake reportedly coming back, there seems to be a whiff of credibility to this rumour. But whether Gabriel Luna will return or not is unclear for now.
