"The new animated series was originally developed as a movie, but since Marvel only has the rights to make TV shows about Spider-Man, not movies, it was split into a four-episode miniseries. And because it's a zombie story, no hero is safe - anyone, from Captain America to the newly-dubbed "Blade Knight" is in danger of turning into the undead."
"The end result is a four-part adventure that focuses in on one of the best additions to the MCU in recent years: Iman Vellani's Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel. As the protagonist of the series, we see the story through her eyes, but we also see her teamed up with two key players in the future of the MCU. It may just be a test to see if there's an audience for what fans have been clamoring for: the Young Avengers."
"When we first meet Kamala in Marvel: Zombies, she's surviving the zombie apocalypse alongside two other heroes: Riri Williams and Kate Bishop. These three have technically never been in the same room in canon, but they are usually the top three names mentioned when the topic of a Young Avengers project is brought up. Kamala has actually met Kate Bishop in the last scene of The Marvels, where Kamala brings up the possibility of a next-gen Avengers squad."
Marvel: Zombies is a four-episode animated miniseries produced outside MCU canon and distinct from What If...?. The project was originally developed as a movie but was reconfigured into a TV miniseries due to Marvel's Spider-Man movie rights. The story places Kamala Khan (Ms. Marvel) at the center of a zombie apocalypse. Kamala survives alongside Riri Williams and Kate Bishop, forming a trio often associated with Young Avengers speculation. The zombie premise places established heroes at lethal risk, and the pairing may serve as a gauge of audience interest in a Young Avengers lineup.
