Marvel Zombies trailer unveils chaos, violent adventures, and the debut of Blade Knight

The Marvel Zombies trailer is out, and if the 1.5-minute teaser is anything to go by, the new series is going to be blood-soaked, chaotic, and have plenty of violent adventures. Marvel Entertainment and Disney unveiled the official trailer for the upcoming series that reimagines the Marvel Universe in a "what if all the heroes have become undead" scenario on Tuesday, September 2, 2025.

The trailer showcases plenty of undead violence, dismembered limbs, and blood everywhere as MCU's fan-favorites like Scarlet Witch and Ironheart return, but in their zombie versions. One of the highlights in the trailer is Spider-Man taking off the heads of many zombies at once.

Blade Knight also finally makes his Marvel debut in the trailer. He's a Moon Knight version of Blade who is adept at cutting up zombies with precision, as seen in the teaser. With the Marvel Zombies official trailer release, the anticipation for the upcoming series grows even more. Check out the details of the latest MCU project below.

What is Marvel Zombies all about, and who will be in it?

The series starts with a "what if" premise—what if the Marvel universe turned into a zombified nightmare? A zombie virus has turned the planet's population into brain-eating creatures, including many of the Avengers. Instead of appearing as the usual superheroes, MCU characters like Scarlet Witch and Ms. Marvel reappear in Marvel Zombies as brain-eating corpses.

With the Avengers now overtaken by a zombie plague, it will be up to a desperate group of survivors to navigate the dystopian Earth, bring an end to the rise of super-powered zombies, and save what remains of the planet. The official synopsis reads:

"After the Avengers are overtaken by a zombie plague, a desperate group of survivors discover the key to bringing an end to the super-powered undead, racing across a dystopian landscape and risking life and limb to save their world."

In the build-up to the show's release, executive producer Brad Winderbaum said in the show's press notes, per ComicBook, that the series is "pretty wild, pretty out there." Meanwhile, director Bryan Andrews stated that because it's for TV-MA, they didn't have to pull punches.

Besides the gory spin on the classic superhero story, Marvel Zombies also boasts a stacked cast that will see the return of some of the favorite MCU heroes on the TV screen. Here's the list of actors and their characters in the series:
