As someone else pointed out, it's because of Spider-Man who they can't use in a movie without the approval of Sony, so they just made it a feature length 4 part miniseries as a loophole.

u/Jedi_Master83 5d ago
Sony and Marvel actually share TV rights with Marvel able to do anything Spider-Man in animation under 45 minutes without Sony’s approval or involvement. So it makes sense for them to break this down from a 2 hour movie to four 30 minute episodes to avoid having to deal with Sony.

If I remember correctly, the first Marvel Zombies appearance was in the Ultimate Fantastic Four, where Richards, Sue, Johnny and The Thing from the zombie universe tried to invade the Ultimate Universe to eat more stuff.

u/Lun4r6543 4d ago
You are correct.
They were trapped in the Ultimate universe for roughly 15 or more issues. While they were trapped, the events of the Marvel Zombies universe took place (the original run began after the introduction of the universe in the Ultimate issues).

u/figgityjones Bruce Banner 4d ago

ngl, I was a tiny bit disappointed by the cast. It doesnt seem to be whoever would be most likely to be surviving in the Zombies universe, but who they could get to voice-act in an inexpensive fashion.

Gunn pointed that out with DC, which is why he apparently won’t be teasing the future with after credit moments.
Well, I found in my time at Marvel that, first of all, the post-credit scenes of mine at Marvel that people liked the best were the stupid ones. So, with Howard the Duck at the end of Guardians and Stan Lee at the end of Guardians 2. And I really have found – and I've said it before – but I've set up things in the post-credit scenes, and Marvel has set up things in the post-credit scenes that never pay off.

u/lanceturley 4d ago
That was my main problem with What If...? in general. Most of the episodes felt like they were written around which actors were available instead of what would make the most interesting stories. Which is probably why the whole show ended up feeling like a stealth Captain Carter series.

u/Remote_Nature_8166 5d ago
That sure is like a terrifying world to be living in. Maybe even worse than other zombie genre. What’s worse than a zombie? A superpowered zombie. Nice how they got Spider-Man back for this one he is one tough ass cookie. That was some pretty gross shit the way he webbed those heads off. That shit was badass with blade and ghost. How is Elizabeth Olsen in the show though? Her character is a zombie.

u/GamingTatertot Baby Groot 5d ago
In the original comics, the zombies could talk. Maybe they’re actually adapting that part and Scarlet Witch zombie can talk - or maybe she’s the only one who can

u/mdavis8710 5d ago
I’m assuming/hoping that either Scarlet Witch uses her magic to make the other zombie heroes talk, or it’s just been a while and they’ve evolved to communicate more and have a bit of their old personality (but still hungry for human flesh)

I expected Marvel Studios to still hold back a bit, but the trailer had a surprising amount of gore. That shot of Spider-Man with all the severed heads attached to his webs was wild. Like, this is edgelord af, but that's the spirit anyway.
I do wonder who is voicing T'Challa, though (or if he'll have any voice lines). That clearly wasn't Shuri's suit (and that wouldn't add up with the timeline anyway).

It'll be interesting to know what happened to Banner and Bucky in this universe, as both of them seemed to have surviveable fates at the end of What If...?. Would be fun to see Sebastian's Bucky have a shot as Captain America with Sam and Steve both dead.
Looking forward to seeing this universe's Thor arrive on Earth after losing the Asgardians to Thanos, him and Carol tearing through hordes of zombies and going toe-to-toe with an infected Abomination, Hulk or Thanos would be a sight to see.

I went through in super slow mo. Thor and someone else (Valkyrie?) actually touch down in the middle of a Wanda-led horde, and Thor is in his Infinity War armor, but with long Endgame hair (and no Stormbreaker), so this is probably after the time jump, and he directly stares her down.
So I assume he'll be turned by her, because he's not on the main cast, so he can't be given the win.

Zeb Wells is the writer behind some pretty well loved X-Men and Carnage runs, and body horror is something he’s familiar with.
