Overview

  • All four episodes of Marvel Zombies are now streaming on Disney+, expanding the What If…? concept into a standalone miniseries.
  • Early reception is tepid, with roughly 65% on Rotten Tomatoes and about 60/100 on Metacritic, and audience response is polarized across aggregators.
  • Director Bryan Andrews and executive Brad Winderbaum say they have substantial material for more seasons but stress renewal depends on Disney+ viewership and subscriptions.
  • The series features a large ensemble of MCU actors reprising roles in voice performances and centers younger heroes within an adult‑oriented, TV‑MA framework.
  • Coverage highlights debate over timeline consistency and the role of animation in developing underused characters, as Marvel also signals an annual cadence for X‑Men ’97 and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider‑Man.
