Along with Blade, Marvel Zombies will feature Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan. The series will also feature iterations of Hawkeye, Captain America, Kate Bishop, Wanda Maximoff, Red Guardian, Captain Marvel, Yelena Belova, and more.
Marvel Studios’ Brad Winderbaum previously told IGN about the series, “In terms of more mature animation, yeah, we’re making a Marvel Zombies show right now that is pretty intense that’s for sure a TV-MA show. And again, it’s trying to honor the comics. And what was so great about the comics was it not pulling its punches. That’s certainly what we’re going for on that project also.”
It was announced in 2019 that Ali would play the titular character in an MCU Blade reboot. While Ali’s voice is heard at the end of 2021’s Eternals, Ali still has not played the character in live-action as of yet as the project has faced repeated delays. It was recently removed from Marvel’s calendar and the film does not have a release date at this time.
