What Caused The Zombie Outbreak in Marvel Zombies
The zombie outbreak in Marvel Zombies originates from Janet Van Dyne, making her the first patient. The story is set in a different universe where Hank Pym travels to the Quantum Realm to rescue Janet van Dyne. The virus originates from the Quantum Realm and affects organic brains, much like Janet’s.
When Hank Pym finds her and brings her back, she infects him almost instantly, who then sets off the zombie outbreak on Earth, infecting various heroes, villains, and the general population.
Will More Characters be Introduced in Marvel Zombies
As reported by Nexus Point News, Marvel Zombies will also feature John Walker, Baron Zemo, Namor, Melina Vostokoff, Thor, Valkyrie, and Black Panther. It’s unclear as of writing whether these characters will be playing survivors or their zombie counterparts.
Since the show is supposed to be a continuation of What If…?’s zombie episode, we already know that Black Panther (T’Challa) was among the survivors. However, it’s highly unlikely that the creators will bring back T’Challa, who was voiced by the late Chadwick Boseman. That said, as more details emerge, this list of Marvel Zombies confirmed characters will continue to grow.
