Disney+ has revealed the first Marvel Zombies trailer, giving fans a closer look at what has been described as the darkest project yet in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
The series, which begins streaming on 24 September, will take audiences back into the terrifying alternate reality where the world’s greatest heroes have been turned into the undead.
The Marvel Zombies trailer shows shocking battles as surviving heroes fight against their fallen allies. The footage confirms the series will carry a mature rating, with darker themes and violent action. With only four episodes, the mini-series already looks set to deliver a chilling and intense story.
Marvel Zombies first appeared in the animated What If…? series, where a virus from the Quantum Realm turned characters such as Captain America, Iron Man, and Scarlet Witch into zombies.
Survivors like Spider-Man, Black Panther, and Ant-Man escaped with difficulty, while a zombified Thanos wielding the Infinity Stones ended the story on a grim note. That thread continues in the upcoming series.
The cast of Marvel Zombies is packed with major MCU names. Elizabeth Olsen returns as Scarlet Witch, Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Florence Pugh as White Widow, and Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, among others.
The show also introduces Blade into animation for the first time, with Todd Williams voicing the Day Walker in a new version that combines Blade’s power with the mantle of Moon Knight.
The Marvel Zombies trailer also underlines the series’ unique mix of horror and adventure. Marvel Cinematic Universe’s executive producers have stressed that animation allows greater creative freedom, and this project aims to balance themes of despair and hope while exploring a world consumed by the undead.
For Marvel fans, Marvel Zombies is more than just a horror story. It is a bold experiment, pushing the MCU into darker territory while bringing back familiar heroes in shocking new forms. With its release around the Halloween season, the series promises to be one of Marvel’s most talked-about projects this year.
