Spinning out of “What If…Zombies?”, Marvel Animations upcoming Marvel Zombies series hasn’t been the subject of much discussion. However, with Spooky Season creeping closer, a new interview with showrunner Bryan Andrews sheds some light on the project, including a new release date.
While talking with Collider, Andrews revealed that the project, which will now debut on September 24th, was originally developed as a movie before becoming a “four-episode mini-event.”
“It’s like, originally, we were thinking it’d be a movie, if like, ‘Ooh, we should release it as a movie.’ We should just do a movie,” said Andrews, who directed the zombie episode of What If…?. “But there were some things that came up, certain issues that we just had to kind of, ‘Oh let’s break it. We’ll have to break it up into four episodes.’ So basically it’s like a four-episode mini-event, like a film broke up into four parts, basically. So yeah, it’s definitely… It’s one story. It’s one throughline. A lot of insanity happens.”
That insanity spins right out of the ending of “What If…Zombies?” which saw Spider-Man, Black Panther and the head of Ant-Man head to Wakanda where zombie Thanos awaits. The event series will introduce additional surviving heroes to the mix including Ms. Marvel, Kate Bishop, Shang-Chi and Yelena Belova among others.
