The zombie apocalypse hits the Marvel Cinematic Universe, at least in 2D, just in time for spooky season.
The trailer for Marvel Zombies shows us a timeline where the assembled Avengers aren’t showing up to save the day—they’re the threat after being hit with the zombie virus. The latest trailer for the Disney+ animated series reveals that the likes of Okoye, Hawkeye, the Scarlett Witch, and Captain America are now the brain-munching undead. And the unlikeliest of heroes will need to rise up to take them and a zombie Thanos down.
Here’s the trailer for the show premiering on September 24 on Disney+:
The four-episode series from Bryan Andrews and Zeb Wells will cover the story of the remaining Avengers who seek out a way to end the super-powered undead’s glorious purpose, led by Black Widow Yelena (Florence Pugh) and Shang-Chi (Simu Liu).
Featured voice talents returning to reprise their roles include Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Tessa Thompson, Simu Liu, Awkwafina, Hailee Steinfeld, Wyatt Russell, Randall Park, Iman Vellani, and Dominique Thorne—with quite a few big figures like Blade (featured prominently in the trailer) to be announced. If there’s only one Blade, as promised in Deadpool & Wolverinethen we’re thinking it’s gotta be Wesley Snipes.
Other actors we’re hoping to hear from, at least, are Oscar Isaac as Moon Knight (there’s a brief shot of Khonshu) and any of the Spider-Men but mostly Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker. Spidey’s webslinging zombie beheading was definitely our favorite shot.
It’s exciting to see the Marvel Zombies spin-off come to fruition from What If… and explore some of that series’ best episodes. We have so many questions about how exactly it’s all going to go down… including what exactly Thanos hopes to accomplish with the gauntlet on zombie mode?
The series will debut all episodes on September 24 only on Disney+.
