Marvel Studios has (mercifully) slowed the pace of new releases of late, but this month we’re getting the miniseries Marvel Zombies—and the studio just dropped the official trailer. It’s adapted from the Marvel Comics series and a spinoff of the 2021 What If…? episode featuring several Avengers in zombified form. It’s part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase Six.
(Spoilers for the 2021 What If…? episode below.)
In the What If…? episode—which retconned the events of Ant-Man and the Wasp and Avengers: Infinity War—the trouble started when Hank Pym entered the quantum realm to rescue his wife, Janet. Alas, Janet was now a zombie due to a mysterious quantum virus. Hank was infected in turn right before the pair returned to the lab; Scott Lang/Ant-Man was attacked, but Hank and Janet’s daughter, Hope Pym, escaped. Within 24 hours, much of the northwestern US was infected, including many members of the Avengers who showed up to thwart the zombie apocalypse.
