EXCLUSIVE: Thor, Valkyrie, Zemo, John Walker, Namor And More To Appear In ‘Marvel Zombies’

Marvel Studios is diving deeper into the undead with Marvel Zombies, a new animated series spinning out of the fan-favorite “What If… Zombies?!” episode from What If…?. Building on this alternate universe first shown in 2021, the show will explore a Marvel Cinematic Universe overrun by the zombie plague. Directed by Bryan Andrews, the show consists of 4 episodes.

The series brings together an all-star voice cast of MCU veterans, including Awkwafina, David Harbour, Simu Liu, Elizabeth Olsen, Randall Park, Florence Pugh, Hailee Steinfeld, Dominique Thorne, and Iman Vellani, all reprising their iconic roles.

In the What If...? episode this series springs from, the world is overrun by a quantum virus originally contracted by Janet Van Dyne in the Quantum Realm and brought back to earth by Hank Pym. As the virus overtakes the world and survivors fight back, we are introduced to the main antagonist of not only the What If...? episode, but Marvel Zombies' as well.

Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff is due to be front and center in the new series as a powerful adversary. Wanda already proved in What If…? that she’s one of the most dangerous beings in this zombified reality. Her chaos magic and undead hunger make her a nearly unstoppable force. She even survived a clash with the Hulk — who, by the way, is also stomping his way into this series. Wanda will be referred as the Dead Queen in the series. Okoye serves as a secondary villain and she will be in charge of an undead army, following the Scarlet Witch's orders. Additionally, Zombie versions of Ghost, Hawkeye, Abomination, Captain Marvel, and Captain America are confirmed to be in the series.

And the surprises keep coming. Sources tell Nexus Point News that Marvel Zombies will also feature appearances from John Walker, Baron Zemo, Namor, Melina Vostokoff, Thor, Valkyrie, and Black Panther. Whether they will all show up as heroic survivors or join the ranks of the infected… well, we’ll let you find out for yourself.

Additionally, Scott Lang's Head (from the What If...? episode), Spider-Man, Thanos, and Blade Knight are confirmed to appear in the series. They will be joined by best friends Riri Williams, Kate Bishop, and Kamala Khan.

Marvel Zombies is set to release on Disney+ October 3, 2025.
