Marvel Zombies Sets Sept. 24 Disney+ Launch as Blade’s Animated Debut and Season 2 Plan Come Into Focus

Renewal hinges on Disney+ engagement under Marvel’s leaner content strategy.

Overview

  • The four-part animated series premieres September 24 on Disney+ following its What If…? origins.
  • Marvel Television’s Brad Winderbaum and showrunner Bryan Andrews say a second-season blueprint is ready but awaits greenlight based on audience response.
  • Blade has been reimagined as the Fist of Khonshu for the show due to the delayed live-action film, marking his first substantial MCU appearance voiced by Todd Williams.
  • Ms. Marvel anchors the narrative as the creative team frames the story like a fantasy quest influenced by The Lord of the Rings.
  • The adaptation draws from Robert Kirkman and Sean Phillips’ 2005 comics but intentionally charts its own course within MCU continuity.
