"Marvel Zombies is technically a spin-off of the franchise's main animated show, What If...? Its first season introduced the concept of a zombie plague affecting Earth's Mightiest Heroes in an alternate universe, and Zombies takes that concept and runs with it. As in What If, the Avengers have turned into zombies, leaving not-quite Avengers like Kamala Khan (aka Ms. Marvel), Yelena Belova, and Kate Bishop to save the world."
"The MCU can't quite figure out what to do with Blade in live-action, but Marvel Zombies knows exactly how to feature the character. In this parallel world, Blade is also Moon Knight - and he doesn't hesitate to slice and dice the zombified Avengers in his path. Marvel Zombies already looked pretty great before his introduction, with a surprising amount of gore done up in the weightless What If style."
Marvel Zombies will drop all four episodes on September 24, moving its premiere one week earlier than the previously scheduled October 3 date. The series is a spin-off of What If...? and expands that show's zombie-plague premise by portraying Earth's Mightiest Heroes as undead and focusing on younger superheroes like Kamala Khan, Yelena Belova, Kate Bishop, Ironheart, and Spider-Man. The series introduces Blade as a Moon Knight hybrid who violently confronts zombified Avengers. The animation retains the weightless What If style while incorporating surprisingly graphic gore. The earlier release shifts the series away from spooky-season timing despite strong Halloween appeal.
