Disney is Accused of Plagiarizing ‘Werewolf by Night’ Poster
It is the most recent MCU project to be released, but it hasn’t come without a little bit of controversy, as Disney has been accused of plagiarizing a Werewolf by Night poster.
There is no denying that the most recent entry into the vast and ever-growing MArvle CInemtaic Universe has been one of the most creative, violent, and interestingly charming creations that the MCU has ever conducted.
First-time director Michael Giacchino has crafted a story that is quite unlike anything the MCU has ever seen, with the Halloween special paying homage to some of the most beloved horror classics of the 1930s and 1940s, and presenting the perfectly spooky special for this Halloween season.
But despite eth brilliance of the project, the characters, and very unique entry to the supernatural corner of the marvel universe that has been created in this project, there is no denying that controversy is now afoot with recent accusations against some of the film’s promotional material.
It turns out that Disney is now being accused of plagiarizing a Werewolf by Night poster, as a foreign graphic designer, Midiankai, has taken to social media to showcase his evidence that the promotional material for the Disney+ special presentation is clearly taken from his original design.

Although Disney has yet to respond to the accusations, it is certainly clear that there are similarities that could speak to the legitimacy of the artist’s claims.
one can only hold out hope that Disney can do right by these artists, and take responsibility for what we can only hope was an earnest oversight by the corporation
