The What If… Zombies?! episode, directed by Bryan Andrews and written by Matthew Chauncy, reimagined events from Ant-Man and the Wasp and Avengers: Infinity War as a zombie apocalypse. Unlike What If…?, which is an anthology, Marvel Zombies will tell one continuous story. Andrews originally envisioned it as a single movie, but it was divided into four episodes due to production factors.

Speaking to Collider, Andrews said, “It’s like a throughline. Originally, we were thinking it would be a movie, like, ‘Ooh, we should release it as a movie. We should just do a movie.’ But then some things came up—certain issues—so we had to break it into four episodes. Basically, it’s a four-episode mini-event, like a film broken up into four parts. So yeah, it’s definitely one story, one throughline. A lot of insanity happens.”

As one of Marvel’s rare TV-MA projects, Marvel Zombies won’t be one to watch with kids, featuring blood, gore, and the brutal deaths of beloved heroes. The mature rating comes less from language and more from the violence and intensity, with swearing used sparingly and only when it feels natural. Andrews explained that the goal was to avoid gratuitous adult content, instead focusing on graphic violence, disturbing moments, and deeper character drama. Developed before Marvel’s R-rated ventures like Deadpool & Wolverine, the series takes a darker, more purposeful approach to maturity.

Andrews said, “There’s a tiny bit of language, a little bit, I think. But because Marvel, even with the R rating, didn’t do this with Deadpool and Wolverine, obviously… back in the day when we were making this—it was before that was even out—they said, ‘Yeah, we don’t have to have people saying certain things.’ So we tried not to be gratuitous about it. But there are a couple of key parts where someone does say something, because it just fits—that’s what I would say in that moment. I think the rating comes from the level of violence and the intensity of the situations the characters find themselves in. And yeah, blood gets spilled, and we want to be able to see that.”

Andrews directs from a screenplay by Zeb Wells. Executive producers are Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt, Zeb Wells, and Andrews, with Danielle Costa and Carrie Wassenaar producing.

The four-episode animated series Marvel Zombies, rated TV-MA, will premiere on Disney+ on September 24, 2025.
