Marvel Zombies Trailer Sees Blade, Spider-Man, And More Team Up To Take Down Undead Avengers

This year has seen plenty of exciting firsts come to fruition for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, from the introduction of Harrison Ford's Red Hulk in Captain America: Brave New World, to the reintroduction of Charlie Cox's Man With No Fear in Daredevil: Born Again, to the MCU debut of Marvel's First Family in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Animated offering Marvel Zombies, however, the latest effort from the studio behind What If...? and Eyes Of Wakanda, surely has its live-action compadres beat on the shit-you've-never-seen-before front. Just check out the gory, r-rated first trailer for Marvel Animation's four-part limited series below and you'll see exactly what we mean;

Spider-Man decapitating zombie hordes with his webs, Blade (well, technically Moon Knight variant Blade Knight) dismembering Ghost, and even an undead Namor! We told you, didn't we? Absolutely nuts! But not only does Marvel Zombies look truly wild, delivering S bombs, arterial spray, and ultra violence aplenty — it also promise to pick up the narrative thread from What If...?'s first season, in which we were introduced to hordes of decaying Avengers before being left on an Infinity Stone hunting, zombified Thanos based cliffhanger. Per the show's official, somewhat vague synopsis, "after the Avengers are overtaken by a zombie plague, a desperate group of survivors discover the key to bringing an end to the super-powered undead, racing across a dystopian landscape and risking life and limb to save their world."

Among the living and undead supes we can expect to see — and hear — in Marvel Zombies are Wanda Maximoff, Ant-Man, Yelena Belova, Red Guardian, Valkyrie, Shang Chi, Kate Bishop, John Walker, Jimmy Woo, Ms. Marvel, Ironheart, and more, all voiced by their live-action counterparts. So yes, that means Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Tessa Thompson, Simu Liu, Awkwafina, Hailee Steinfeld, Wyatt Russell, Randall Park, Iman Vellani, and Dominique Thorne lead an all-star line-up. Blade however, animated in a distinctly Mahershala Ali-esque fashion, is noteworthily not voiced here by the MCU's yet-to-debut Daywalker, and is voiced instead by Todd Williams.

We'll find out whether Marvel Zombies is here to blow our minds or rot our brains when all four episodes land on Disney+ on 24 September. A perfect pre-spooky season appetiser, we think you'll agree!
