Ahead of its long-awaited debut on October 3, more Marvel Zombies cast members have been revealed for Marvel Studios’ newest Disney+ animated series. This comes four years after the project was officially announced during Disney+ Day.
Who is joining the Marvel Zombies cast?
According to Nexus Point News, Marvel Zombies will also reportedly feature appearances from Black Panther, Thor, Namor, Valkyrie, John Walker, Melina Vostokoff, and Baron Zemo. However, it’s still unclear if they would appear as zombies or apocalypse survivors. It’s also unknown if some of these characters’ original actors would also be returning to lend their voices to the show. In a recent report, it has also been revealed that zombie Hawkeye, zombie Captain America, and Blade Knight will also appear in the series.
Set in an alternate reality, the show reimagines the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a new generation of heroes battles against an ever-spreading zombie scourge. It will feature the voices of returning MCU stars Awkwafina (Shang-Chi and the Legend of Ten Rings) as Katey, David Harbour (Thunderbolts*) as Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian, Simu Liu (Shang-Chi and the Legend of Ten Rings) as Shang-Chi, Elizabeth Olsen (WandaVision) as Scarlet Witch, Randall Park (WandaVision) as Jimmy Woo, Florence Pugh (Thunderbolts*) as Yelena Belova, Hailee Steinfeld (Hawkeye) as Kate Bishop, Dominique Thorne (Ironheart) as Riri Williams, and Iman Vellani (The Marvels) as Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel, with Hudson Thames (What If…?) as Spider-Man.
The series is directed by Bryan Andrews from a screenplay written by Zeb Wells, who is also serving as an executive producer. It is inspired by the fifth episode from Season 1 of What If…?, in which the MCU films Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) and Avengers: Infinity War (2018) ended in a zombie apocalypse. In a press release, Andrews teased that the show will feature “more hardcore” and “pretty wild” zombie sequences, different from what was shown in What If…?
