The Marvel Zombies brand has been a fan-favorite staple of Marvel Comics since the early 2000s. After years of wishful thinking, Marvel finally adapted the brand via animation for an episode of their Disney Plus series What If…?. The adaptation was so successful that it was announced an entire series based around the concept would be released on the streaming platform. Now, thanks to the animation panel held by Marvel at Comic-Con 2022, we now know when the release date for this Marvel Zombies series will be.
Unfortunately, if fans were hoping for the series to be released next year, they’ll have to wait a little longer. It’s been revealed that the Disney Plus series won’t be available until the year after in 2024. While this might be disheartening news for some, there was one another exciting announcement made about the series. It was revealed that Marvel Zombies will actually be rated TV-MA. This will be the first animated Marvel project to be rated as such and this could mean big things for the highly-anticipated project.
After all, the Marvel Zombies comics are remembered for not holding back on any of the gore or other gruesome details that one expects with a zombie apocalypse. As such, it seems safe to say that fans will be able to expect all of these elements to carry over in the upcoming series. Now that Disney Plus has parental controls and they’re further exploring the potential for adult-rated content on their streaming service, this is an exciting example of what’s to come.
Hopefully we’ll have more details soon. Of course, there’s still plenty of time to wait, so it might not be until 2023 before those come around. In the meantime, however, there are still plenty of other Marvel projects to be excited about for the rest of this year and next.
Fans will be able to see the Marvel Zombies series on Disney Plus when the release date comes around in 2024. This is the same year that Marvel Studios’ other animated series, Spider-Man: Freshman Year, will be released on the streaming service. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for additional updates on these exciting projects as we have them.
