Marvel fans have something huge to get excited about. Marvel Zombies, the next animated series from the MCU, is coming to Disney+ this fall. The first trailer has already gone viral, showing the Avengers and other heroes turned into flesh-eating zombies. It looks like this could be the bloodiest Marvel project yet.
The story picks up from the What If…Zombies?! episode of the 2021 What If…? series. In that episode, a virus from the Quantum Realm infects Earth’s heroes, turning Iron Man, Wanda, Hawkeye, Falcon, Doctor Strange, and more into undead monsters. Marvel Zombies expands on that world, following survivors like Yelena Belova, Shang-Chi, Kate Bishop, and Kamala Khan. They must fight their former teammates and stop the zombie plague from taking over the planet.
The series promises extreme action and horror, blending the violent world of Robert Kirkman’s original Marvel Zombies comics with the What If…? style. Fans can expect full-on carnage and nightmare-level intensity.
The cast is packed with familiar voices. Florence Pugh returns as Yelena Belova, Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff, Paul Rudd as Scott Lang, and Simu Liu as Shang-Chi. Other returning voices include David Harbour as Red Guardian, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, Awkwafina as Katy, Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop, Wyatt Russell as John Walker, Randall Park as Jimmy Woo, Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan, and Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams.
A major highlight is the introduction of Blade, voiced by Todd Williams. Fans finally get to see the vampire slayer in action, taking down undead villains with his iconic sword moves. Marvel Zombies is shaping up to be a thrilling, gory ride for every Marvel fan.
