Marvel Studios’ new Disney+ series “Marvel Zombies” is reportedly moving up its release date.
The series, which was going to launch on October 3rd, will now premiere on September 24th. All episodes will arrive on that date.
The show is set in an alternate reality where a new generation of heroes battles against an ever-spreading zombie scourge.
Speaking to Collider recently, showrunner Bryan Andrews confirmed that prior to it being turned into a four-part series, the project was originally conceived as a movie. As a result, a cinematic feeling still runs throughout says the showrunner:
“It’s like a through line. It’s like, originally, we were thinking it’d be a movie, if like, ‘Ooh, we should release it as a movie.’ We should just do a movie. But there were some things that came up, certain issues that we just had to kind of, ‘Oh let’s break it. We’ll have to break it up into four episodes.’ So basically it’s like a four-episode mini-event, like a film broke up into four parts, basically. So yeah, it’s definitely… It’s one story. It’s one throughline. A lot of insanity happens.”
The series features the voices of “Shang-Chi” stars Simu Liu and Awkwafina, “Thunderbolts” alum Florence Pugh and David Harbour and the likes of Elizabeth Olsen, Randall Park, Hailee Steinfeld, Dominique Thorne, Iman Vellani and Hudson Thames.
