Why Marvel Zombies Will Be a TV-MA Show
Speaking with IGN, Marvel Studios executive Brad Winderbaum teased how Disney+’s upcoming series will honor the original comics, promising a “pretty intense” adaptation.
“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,” Winderbaum said. “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.”
Marvel Zombies is directed by Bryan Andrews from a screenplay written by Zeb Wells, who is also serving as an executive producer. The animated series reimagines the Marvel Universe as a new generation of heroes battle against an ever-spreading zombie scourge.
The Marvels star Iman Vellani previously confirmed that her character Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel will have central role in the series. “We’ve done the whole thing,” Vellani said. “It was amazing. It was so much fun... There are a lot of cool characters in the Marvel Zombies show. And Kamala is kind of the center of the show. They described it to me, it’s like, ‘She’s basically the Frodo of the story.’ And I was like, ‘That’s amazing.'”
At the moment, the release date for Marvel Zombies hasn’t been announced yet.
