Marvel Zombies on Disney+ pits Kamala Khan against Wanda

Marvel Zombies, a four-episode animated miniseries created by Bryan Andrews and Zeb Wells, premiered on Disney+ on September 24, 2025, presenting a TV-MA horror take on an alternate Marvel Cinematic Universe where a zombie plague has overrun the planet. The story centers on Kamala Khan, played in animation by Iman Vellani, and follows a small band of surviving heroes as they race across a dystopian landscape to stop the undead and the woman leading them, Wanda Maximoff, who appears as the Queen of the Dead.

The series picks up from a 2021 episode that first imagined a zombified MCU and expands that timeline into a longer survival narrative. Over five years after civilization collapsed, Kamala teams with Riri Williams and Kate Bishop, among others, to find a device that can broadcast a distress signal into space. Their attempt to enlist outside help is undercut in episode three when the intergalactic Nova Corps is revealed to have quarantined Earth and to be actively preventing survivors from leaving, a turn that leaves the protagonists isolated and deepens the series moral question of what it means to act as a hero when no assistance is coming.
