At the moment, there hasn’t been an official breakdown of these forthcoming editions. The What’s On Disney Plus site has floated ideas via a speculative post, suggesting a spectrum of guest appearances and potential crossovers, from Ghost Rider and Mephisto to Magic or Dracula, all potentially woven into Marvel’s evolving cinematic universe. The same chatter also contemplates revivals if not reintroductions of Night Werewolf and Leshy on screen. These are conjectures rather than confirmed plans, but they illustrate the breadth of characters fans are weighing against the Halloween-in-space aesthetic.

Marvel first experimented with a TV special format in 2022, delivering two standalone events that aligned with seasonal themes. Werewolf by Night introduced a horror-tinged flavor to the lineup, while Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special leaned into festive tone with a Marvel twist. Both projects aired as singular episodes rather than continuing serialized arcs, and as of now, no further official entries in this format have been announced. The approach demonstrates Marvel’s willingness to test short-form, event-driven storytelling outside its regular series cadence. [Source: Marvel announcements; industry coverage]
There has also been chatter about a potential return of Iron Man in some form. Reports circulated that Robert Downey Jr. could reprise Tony Stark across two Marvel projects, though no concrete confirmations have emerged. Industry observers note that any comeback would hinge on narrative alignment with Marvel’s broader plans, timing, and the creative direction of upcoming projects. Fans continue to watch for official confirmations as the studio weighs what fits best within its evolving roster. [Source: Entertainment press; production rumors]
