Marvel Zombies Trailer Reveals Spider-Man Repeats Thor's Thanos Mistake

The upcoming Marvel Zombies animated miniseries on Disney+ explores a darker, TV-MA-rated alternate MCU timeline where many iconic heroes have turned into zombies, including a zombified Thanos wielding a partially completed Infinity Gauntlet. A notable scene in the trailers features Spider-Man wielding Thor's Stormbreaker axe in an attempt to stop zombie Thanos, only to repeat Thor's critical mistake from Avengers: Infinity War by not aiming for the head, rendering the attack ineffective. The series promises to embrace mature themes and violence, following the precedent set by Deadpool and Wolverine, and introduces intense action sequences such as a sword fight involving Blade and a zombified Ghost. The trailers also hint at the involvement of other characters like Black Panther, Scott Lang, and a zombie Okoye who speaks under the control of the zombie Scarlet Witch. The miniseries draws heavily on characters introduced in the MCU's Phases Four and Five and is set after the events depicted in the “What If…Zombies?!” episode. The star-studded voice cast includes Awkwafina, Simu Liu, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, and more, underscoring the series’ significance within the broader MCU.
