Ms. Marvel Takes Center Stage as the Main Character in Upcoming Marvel Project

At Disney+ Day 2021, it was unveiled that a new animated series titled ‘Marvel Zombies’ was in the works for Disney+, with Zeb Wells onboard as both writer and executive producer.

During San Diego Comic-Con 2022, it was revealed that the series would carry a TV-MA rating and was slated for a 2024 premiere. In an interview dated October 8, 2022, Zeb Wells disclosed that the first season would comprise four episodes. Furthermore, on November 28, 2023, Iman Vellani confirmed her participation in the project.

Iman also hinted at being the main character of the project, which the most recent reports from Cosmic Circus’ Alex Perez confirmed.

As for the main villain, reports suggest Zombie Scarlet Witch might take on that role. ‘Marvel Zombies’ is the first spinoff from the ‘What If…?’ animated series, continuing the universe established in the ‘What If…Zombies!?’ episode.

The plot details are scarce, but it’s not expected to directly follow the famous comic storyline. However, fans can anticipate plenty of gore and action. Brad Winderbaum recently confirmed the show’s intense rating, promising it will stay faithful to the comics by not holding back.

This lines up with reports that ‘Marvel Zombies’ will debut under Marvel Spotlight, similar to ‘Echo.’ The spotlight typically features standalone, character-driven series, often with mature themes.

Marvel Studios will prioritize mature content and animation in the coming years, following the relatively successful reception of ‘Echo’ and ‘X-Men ’97’, which debuted with a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
