What Happens in the Marvel Zombies Trailer?
The trailer opens with a chilling question: “Who will save us from our heroes?” We see an alternate Marvel universe in which a zombie virus has consumed Earth’s mightiest heroes. The Avengers have been overrun, and now a ragtag group of survivors has to battle a zombified roster that includes Captain America, Scarlet Witch, Okoye, Namor, Clint Barton, and others.
The footage shows bloody action sequences, Spider-Man chopping off wave after wave of zombie heads, and Yelena Belova joining forces with heroes such as Shang-Chi, Ms. Marvel, and Red Guardian. It’s violent, dark, and easily Marvel’s darkest animated project yet.
Who Is in the Marvel Zombies Cast?
It has a huge voice cast of returning MCU actors. That includes:
- Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch)
- Florence Pugh (Yelena Belova)
- David Harbour (Red Guardian)
- Simu Liu (Shang-Chi)
- Awkwafina (Katy)
- Hailee Steinfeld (Kate Bishop)
- Paul Rudd (Ant-Man)
- Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie)
- Randall Park (Jimmy Woo)
- Wyatt Russell (U.S. Agent)
- Iman Vellani (Ms. Marvel)
- Dominique Thorne (Ironheart)
Particularly notable is Todd Williams’ narration of Blade, who makes a complete appearance in a Moon Knight variant, wielding a sword against zombie Ghost. This marks Blade’s first big animated appearance under Marvel Studios.
What Does the Marvel Zombies Trailer Reveal about the MCU?
Even though Marvel Zombies is a What If…? spinoff, the series is not MCU canon; instead, it continues the What If… Zombies?! episode. It shows a dystopian reality in a world where survivors utilize any available weapons and skills they have to stop the plague.

Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch stands out as one of the most terrifying threats, and her chaos magic makes her a virtually unstoppable zombie. While we wait for Wanda’s live-action return, this isn’t half bad. Here, she looks scarier than ever.
