Marvel Zombies is about to rise from the grave and land in the MCU.
Marvel Zombies, a spin-off series from another MCU animated series, What If…? is well in the works, and fans are getting very excited for it.
This upcoming Disney+ series is set to be gory, gruesome, and unlike most of the stuff we’ve seen in the MCU – barring What If…?, obviously.
While not a ton of official information has been released about the project, a new teaser trailer and a release window means we can start getting ready for the upcoming Marvel show.
Here’s everything we know about Marvel Zombies so far.
Marvel Zombies release window
Marvel Zombies will be released in October 2025.
The window was confirmed in October 2024, with the exact date still to come.
This show will be the first one released by Marvel with a TV-MA rating, and it will also be the shortest, with only four episodes.
Marvel Zombies trailer
There’s no full trailer for Marvel Zombies yet, but a short teaser was released as part of Marvel’s promo for their upcoming TV slate.
The teaser compilation premiered on Disney+ ahead of the Agatha All Along finale. It’s just a short clip, but you can see it for yourself below:

What’s perhaps most exciting is the short but notable glimpse we get of the Captain America zombie, classic ‘A’ helmet and all!
Who’s in the Marvel Zombies cast?
Iman Vellani as Ms. Marvel is the only person officially confirmed in the Marvel Zombies cast so far, but it’s suspected many more live-action actors will reprise their iconic roles.

Simu Liu’s Shang-Chi, Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop, Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, and David Harbour’s Red Guardian are all slated to be part of the Marvel Zombies cast (though it’s not confirmed if all these actors will be returning to voice the characters).
The show will most likely include all of the characters that the Zombie episode of What If…? did, along with some newcomers, which overall includes:
Zombies
- Captain America (Who could either be voiced by Chris Evans or Hudson Thames)
- Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner)
- Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen)
- Captain Marvel (Brie Larson)
- Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen)
- The Abomination (Time Roth)
- Ikaris (Richard Madden)
Survivors
- Ant Man (Paul Rudd)
- Spider-Man (Who could either be voice by Tom Holland or Josh Keaton)
- Black Panther (It is uncertain who will voice Black Panther as of now)
- Shang Chi (Simu Li)
- Katy Chen (Awkwafina)
- Death Dealer (Ande Le)
- Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld)
- Jimmy Woo (Randall Park)
- Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh)
- Red Guardian (David Harbour)
- Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani)
Zeb Wells will serve as head writer and executive producer on Marvel Zombies, while Bryan Andrews (director of the What If… Zombies?! episode) will direct.
Iman Vellani has revealed that Kamala/Ms Marvel will be the center of the show, saying [via The Direct]: “They described it to me, it’s like, ‘She’s basically the Frodo of the story.’ And I was like, ‘That’s amazing.’…I get to interact and meet all these people along her journey.
“And, yes, they’re only the voices, and I don’t get to hear their voices in real-time. But just, it’s my fantasies, right? Like, knowing Kamala is going to interact with some really cool people, even if it’s just animation, is so special in a lot of ways.
Marvel Zombies plot: What will happen in the show?
Marvel Zombies currently has no official plot synopsis. However, it will be obviously inspired by the events of the Zombie What If…? episode, along with the comic series of the same name.
The story of the comics explores an apocalyptic version of the MCU, where a Quantum Virus has turned most of the MCU’s superheroes into zombies.
What If… Zombies!? ended on a cliffhanger, with survivors heading to Wakanda to create a cure for the virus using the Mind Stone. However, Zombie Thanos was there waiting for them.
It seems that the new show will be picking up from where that episode left off, which means a big zombie battle is on the way.
