In the vein of classic movie monsters, GaelGarciaB gives WerewolfByNight a beating heart under all the blood and fur.

The heroes of the Marvel Universe are almost as much at war with themselves as they are with the forces of evil, and it's a trait that often permeates the best Marvel Studios projects. The Guardians of the Galaxy are each wrestling with their separate traumas, finding strength in their unity. Shang-Chi struggles to build a new life for himself and outrace the legacy of his father Wenwu . And Thor has dealt with everything from taking over the throne of Asgard to losing his loved ones.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Russell is invited, along with other monster hunters, to the estate of Ulysses Bloodstone . They're told by Ulysses' widow Verussa that there will be a contest to hunt and kill a monster, and whoever is the first to slay it gains control of the Bloodstone. The mystical artifact bestows great strength upon whoever wields it...and it's helpful in killing monsters, which makes it a coveted item for everyone in attendance.

An Air of Mystery From the get-go, it's clear that Russell is cut from a far different cloth than his fellow monster hunters. He's a fairly quiet man, keeping to himself and only speaking when spoken to. And when the others excitedly brag about how many monsters they've killed, Russell reveals that he has the most kills out of anyone in the room. But rather than celebrate it, he offers up this information as if he's going to the grave.

A Sense of Empathy That same sense of empathy is present in Russell and Elsa's interactions, especially when his lycanthropic nature is revealed. It's during these moments that Bernal really gets to sell the character, with his soulful eyes and weary countenance painting the picture of a man who's struggled with the darker side of himself. "Any hunting that I do is done by a part of me that is not me," he tells her, pain radiating from every word.

Even when Verussa forces Jack to transform into his werewolf self, he still shows glimmers of humanity when he spares Elsa and leaps off into the night. Once again, Bernal delivers a wealth of information with his facial expressions and his body posture, which is incredible, considering he's wearing furry prosthetics. And it drives home the fact that despite being labeled as "evil," he has more humanity than Verussa and the other monster hunters.
