Marvel Studios is rumored to be bringing one of its darkest and most twisted storylines to the big screen with a live-action adaptation of Marvel Zombies. Following the overwhelming fan response to the What If…? animated episode that introduced the undead versions of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, sources indicate that Kevin Feige is now pushing for a full-scale, R-rated theatrical film based on the gruesome comic book series.
Marvel Studios has slowly been embracing horror elements, from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness to Werewolf by Night, and Marvel Zombies could be their most ambitious horror project yet. Insiders claim that Feige wants to push the boundaries of the MCU, delivering a film that blends superhero action with visceral zombie horror—akin to The Last of Us meets Avengers: Endgame.
The project is said to be helmed by director Sam Raimi, whose horror expertise in The Evil Dead franchise and experience with Marvel in Doctor Strange 2 make him a perfect fit. If the rumors hold true, this would mark one of the MCU’s most daring creative choices yet.
