Marvel Zombies – Limited Series [2025]

Marvel Zombies picks up after the famous episode from What If (Season one). The show brings the A-List cast to a familiar setting.

Marvel is currently not known for amazing productions. Everything is tethered down by the weight of MCU interconnectivity. However, even though Zombies is techncially a continuation of an episode of What If, the show stands strongly on its own.

This is a solid 4-episodes horror story wrapped in a mash-up of comic book lore and zombie tropes. The show is a fun watch, just in time for Halloween, that makes good use of the concept despite the potential to be so much more.

Sadly, just like the anthology it’s spinning off from, the show fails to capitalize on the vast creative resources at its disposal. Marvel finally dares to go where the MCU usually won’t. But for all its blood-soaked bravado, it stumbles in its character work and storytelling focus.

It’s exciting to see Kate Bishop, Shang-Chi, and others back in the MCU, but the show never feels like a worthy vessel to deliver the best that these characters have to offer. All the characters felt like devices for a shaky setup between the Queen of the dead, Wanda Maximoff, and Ms. Marvel.

To be honest, Wanda is scary in this show. And even though I love Ms. Marvel and Iman Vellani, it really doesn’t make sense to write a whole story about facing off those two. That would be my only comment about this show. Are we getting a second season?

Should You Watch It?

Zombies is the best Marvel Animation since X-Men 97. A-List cast, coherent story, and a cliffhanger.

Where Can I Watch It?

Marvel Zombies is now streaming on Disney Plus.
