Marvel Zombies Debuts on Disney+ With Gory Thrills and Mixed Reviews

Early reactions to Marvel Animation’s first TV‑MA series praise the brutal action but flag rushed pacing, uneven voice work and the limits of a four‑episode run.

Overview

  • All four episodes of the TV‑MA miniseries released September 24 on Disney+, expanding the What If…? zombie concept into a standalone event.
  • Critics widely commend the graphic set pieces and horror tone, calling it the MCU’s bloodiest animated project to date.
  • Reviews frequently cite thin characterization, pacing issues, inconsistent vocal performances and debate over the animation style.
  • A large ensemble of returning MCU voices features Iman Vellani, Hailee Steinfeld, Simu Liu, Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Paul Rudd and others.
  • Blade appears as a BladeMoon Knight hybrid voiced by Todd Williams rather than Mahershala Ali, and creators say any continuation will depend on audience response.
