Who is Jack Russell\/Werewolf by Night?\u00a0<\/strong>Jack Russell is one of the monster hunters invited to the Bloodstone estate for a ceremony in memory of the late Ulysses Bloodstone. Though said to have wracked up hundreds of kills in his time, he hides a dark secret (you can probably guess what it is by the title).<\/p>\n
On joining the Marvel universe, actor Gael Garc\u00eda Bernal said: \u201cI was actually very happy that the story was not about a superhero, but about a monster and about that world, because I feel that monsters are more human than superheroes. In a way, monsters are the sublimation of our traumas or of our taboos in a sense.\u201d<\/p>\n
What else has Gael Garc\u00eda Bernal been in?\u00a0<\/strong>Last year, Bernal starred in M Night Shyamalan\u2019s polarising thriller Old<\/a>, which split audiences with its surreal vision of a beach that makes its guests age rapidly. Previously, he earned high praise for his work on Prime Video comedy Mozart in the Jungle, post-apocalyptic drama Station Eleven and Pixar animation Coco. He is also known for his wide variety of Spanish-language work, including collaborations with directors Pedro Almod\u00f3var, Alejandro Gonz\u00e1lez I\u00f1\u00e1rritu, and Alfonso Cuar\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Who is Elsa Bloodstone?\u00a0<\/strong>Elsa Bloodstone is the disgraced daughter of the late Ulysses Bloodstone, who turned her back on her neglectful family to forge her own path in life. The magical gem her father wielded in life was once hers by birthright, but now she will have to fight to prove herself worthy of holding it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat attracted me to her story so much was this idea of what you grow up with, and what you\u2019re told by your family, and who you are shaped to be by them, whether that\u2019s for good or bad,\u201d said actor Laura Donnnelly. \u201cAnd then, as you get older, how you come to face that and in a sense break off from those expectations and just become your own person and a fully formed adult.\u201d<\/p>\n
What else has Laura Donnelly been in?\u00a0<\/strong>Most recently, Donnelly has stepped into a lead role on HBO sci-fi drama The Nevers<\/a>, while she also plays the recurring character of Hella on Sky Atlantic\u2019s Britannia<\/a>. She has also appeared in Merlin<\/a>, The Fall, Outlander<\/a> and Beowulf: Return to the Shieldlands, as well as 2019 biopic Tolkien.<\/p>

Who is Verusa Bloodstone?\u00a0<\/strong>Verusa is the icy widow of Ulysses Bloodstone and Elsa\u2019s stepmother. She presides over the ceremonial hunt in her late husband\u2019s memory.<\/p>\n
\u201cVerusa wants to repress things that either she\u2019s afraid of in herself or that she can\u2019t control,\u201d said actor Harriet Sansom Harris. \u201cShe\u2019s very interested in control. She never had the ultimate power, her husband did, but as the widow Bloodstone she has, for the time being, a lot of power, and she\u2019s very ready to exert and exercise it.\u201d<\/p>\n
What else has Harriet Sansom Harris been in?\u00a0<\/strong>Harris will be familiar to fans of US comedy for her roles as Bebe in Frasier<\/a> and Felicia in Desperate Housewives. More recently, she\u2019s joined Ryan Murphy\u2019s catalogue of stars with roles in American Horror Story<\/a>: Apocalypse, Hollywood<\/a> and Ratched<\/a>. Last year, she made a guest appearance in acclaimed US comedy Hacks<\/a>, while on the big screen, she featured in Best Picture nominee Licorice Pizza<\/a>. Her other film credits include Baz Luhrmann\u2019s Romeo + Juliet, Christopher Nolan\u2019s Memento and Phantom Thread, starring Daniel Day-Lewis.<\/p>\n
