**”Marvel Zombies” Unleashes Gore, New Heroes, and Untold Stories in Animated MCU**

**Los Angeles, CA** – “Marvel Zombies,” the M-rated animated spinoff of “What If…?”, is now streaming on Disney+, delivering a bloody and visceral take on the Marvel Universe. Director Bryan Andrews reveals the origins of the series, the creative decisions behind its gruesome content, and teases potential plans for a Season 2 in a recent interview.

The series, which originated from an idea championed by Kevin Feige himself, explores a zombie outbreak in the MCU caused by a Quantum Realm virus. Andrews explained that the transition to a TV-MA rating allowed them to fully embrace the horror genre without “pulling punches.” While the gore is plentiful, Andrews emphasizes that they aim for a balance with a strong story and meaningful character development.

“Marvel Zombies” features familiar faces like Spider-Man and zombified versions of Scarlet Witch and Thanos, alongside newer MCU characters like Ms. Marvel, Red Guardian, and Shang-Chi. The series also introduces a unique amalgamation of Blade and Moon Knight, dubbed “Blade Knight,” separate from Mahershala Ali’s upcoming live-action version.

Andrews shared that the focus on newer, less experienced heroes allows for a compelling narrative of growth and survival. He likens the story to “Lord of the Rings,” with Ms. Marvel taking on the role of Frodo, leading a fellowship through a chaotic journey.

Despite the series’ constraints, including limited time and budget, Andrews hints at a wealth of unseen stories and character arcs occurring off-screen. He hopes a positive reception will lead to a second season, teasing a potential medieval fantasy setting and the inclusion of characters like the Fantastic Four and X-Men. Andrews also noted that the series was initially conceived as a movie, but was changed due to rights issues regarding Spider-Man and Sony.
