About Marvel Zombies
While fans may clearly remember the first season of Marvel’s ‘What If’, a TV series that was released two years back, the fifth episode gave a glimpse into the alternative universe where the Earth’s mightiest heroes were turned into zombies.
Following the same, Marvel Studios have decided to expand the series with a similar horror flavour of brooding zombies.
While fans can expect the older characters to mark a return in the upcoming show, Marvel is also expected to bring some new and upcoming characters including Yelena Belova, Shang-Chi, and Kamala Khan among others, all fighting against the zombie plague.
Directed by Bryan Andrews, the Marvel Zombies is set for release in 2024 on Disney+Hotstar.
