After making their MCU debut in What If…?, the Marvel Zombies are headed to Disney Plus in their own animated series. The announcement came today as part of Disney Plus Day.
Mark Millar, who introduced zombies to Marvel Comics during his run on Ultimate Fantastic Four, recently teased the potential for live-action plans for the flesh-eaters. Following their debut in the Ultimate line, The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman took them into their own 5-issue series which took place on an alternate Earth, Earth-2149, and featured zombie versions of the Avengers, Fantastic Four and X-Men after they were infected by a being from another dimension. Kirkman returned for 5-issue sequel series before Fred Van Lente took over writing duties for 4 further sequels, including 2009’s Marvel Zombies Return. The zombies also made an appearance in 2015’s Secret Wars in their own tie-in miniseries.
Disney+ Day has finally arrived and a few weeks ahead of Marvel Studios’ next original series, Hawkeye. It’ll have an important role in the MCU, as it’ll introduce us to the character of Echo, which is played by newcomer Alaqua Cox. Not only is she an important character from Daredevil’s side of the comics, but she even was the first newly introduced character to get a spinoff on the streaming service. Disney used the chance to confirm that Cox’s character will spinoff into her own series, which had been reported earlier this year.

It looks like the world isn’t quite done yet with Zootopia. Disney has just announced on Disney+ Day that the series is making a grand return in a couple of shorts that take place within the animal-ruled world.

Disney+ has become the home for many iconic franchises and they are certainly banking on it.
