What If... Zombies?! | Marvel Studios'What If...?| Disney+,a promotional video introducing the episode's "what if" concept with narration byJeffrey Wrightasthe Watcher,video from theWhat If...?Twitteraccount

By September 2018,Marvel Studioswas developing an animatedanthology seriesbased on theWhat If...?comic books, which would explore how theMarvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) filmswould be altered if certain events occurred differently.[1][2][3]DirectorBryan Andrewsmet Marvel Studios executiveBrad Winderbaumabout the project as early as 2018,[4]and his involvement was announced in August 2019.[5]Andrews and Winderbaum executive produce alongsidehead writerA. C. Bradley,Kevin Feige,Louis D'Esposito,andVictoria Alonso.[6]: 2 Story editor Matthew Chauncey wrote the fifth episode,[7]titled "What If... Zombies?!",[8]which features analternate storylineof the 2018 filmsAnt-Man and the WaspandAvengers: Infinity War.[9]IGN's Tom Jorgensen said the episode title was a "jokey take" on the series' established naming convention, but was "also indicative of how much thought went into selling a zombie apocalypse that works in the MCU".[10]This what if concept was chosen for the season over aChristmas-themedepisode exploring what if theAvengershad showed up duringIron Man 3(2013), told in the style ofLove Actually(2003) vignettes; the Christmas-themed concept was ultimately used for the episode "What If... Happy Hogan Saved Christmas?"in thesecond season.[11]: 11:22–12:13 "What If... Zombies?!" was released onDisney+on September 8, 2021.[12]

Writing

edit

In the episode's alternate storyline,Janet van Dynereturns from theQuantum Realmwith a quantum virus that spreads throughout the worlds population creating azombie apocalypse.[9]The episode is adarkcomedy horroradaptation of theMarvel Zombiescomic series (2005–2009),[13]with a number of direct references to the comics in the episode, more so than any otherWhat If...?episode.[14]Bradley had previously attempted to write a "dark body horror" story in whichSpider-Manturns into a real spider, taking inspiration fromFranz Kafka's novellaThe Metamorphosis(1915), which Marvel rejected for being too dark for their targetPG-13/TV-14audience.[15]She then pitched the idea of MCU characters turning into zombies as an alternative story idea, not knowing about the existingMarvel Zombiesseries.[14]Kevin Feige had previously expressed interest in a live-actionMarvel Zombiesadaptation in 2013, but was not able to accurately adapt the storyline to film due to the MCU's target demographic;[16]he encouraged Bradley to pursue the idea in animated form forWhat If...?.[14]

Chauncey was the one to "spearhead" the episode, initially creating a draft with more gruesome deaths.[17]: 2:38–3:00 He and Bradley were hesitant to haveT'Challaappear without his leg because the racial implications of "a white couple [VisionandWanda Maximoff] basically feasting off a man of color ", but decided to include it as a reference to a significant part of theMarvel Zombiescomic. They rationalized that losing a limb in a zombie apocalypse was "getting away easy" when compared to someone likeScott Lang,who ends up with his head in a jar.[17]: 3:05–3:42 OtherEaster eggsin the episode include a reference to the phrase "till the end of the line" fromCaptain America: The Winter Soldier(2014);[18]an homage to the logo ofMutant Enemy Productions,the production company of the horror television seriesBuffy the Vampire Slayer(1997–2003);[19]and the MCU's first mention of Peter Parker'sUncle Ben.[20]This was included in early drafts of the script, and was kept despite Bradley and Chauncey expecting Marvel to request its removal.[17]: 1:20–1:58

Tom Hollanddoes not reprise his role as Peter Parker / Spider-Man from the film series, with Hudson Thames voicing the character in the episode;[21]Winderbaum attributed Holland's recasting to possible conflicts withthe deal for the character's film rightsbetweenThe Walt Disney CompanyandSony Pictures.[21][22]Though Thames sounds similar to Holland, he created his own performance so he could identify with the character.[23]The character was marketed as "Zombie Hunter Spider-Man".[24]Josh Keatonreprises his role asSteve Rogers / Captain Americafrom thefirst episode,in which he had replaced MCU starChris Evans.[21][25]Several characters appear in non-speaking roles, includingTony Stark / Iron Man,Dr.Stephen Strange,Wong,Cull Obsidian,Hank Pym,Janet van Dyne,Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow,Clint Barton / Hawkeye,Sam Wilson / Falcon,Wanda Maximoff, andThanos;[26]many of these characters appear as zombie versions of themselves.[25]

Marketing

edit

On August 7, 2021, Marvel announced a series of posters created by various artists to correspond with the episodes of the series, including a poster featuring zombified versions of Iron Man and Captain America in an apocalyptic New York City designed by Chris Christodoulou, as part of a series of posters for the series. Mira Jacobs ofComic Book Resourcesnoted the "bleak" alternate universe depicted in the poster, as well as "a horde of zombies lurking in the darkness" and "a broken version of the Avengers logo".[32]After the episode's release, Marvel announced merchandise inspired by the episode as part of its weekly "Marvel Must Haves" promotion for each episode of the series, including apparel, accessories,Funko Pops,Marvel Legendsfigures, andLego minifiguresbased on the zombie versions of characters.[33]

Reception

edit

David Opie atDigital Spysaid the episode "deliver[s] the goods" and was a surprisingly faithful adaptation of theMarvel Zombiescomics, praising its balance of sad, comedic, and gruesome moments.[34]Kirsten Howard ofDen of Geekagreed that "What If... Zombies?!" was a fun episode, especially for fans of theMarvel Zombiescomics, and felt it was full of standout moments such as Parker's "glorious zombie training video". Howard said Parker's struggle to keep hope alive in the zombie apocalypse was similar to theMarvel Zombies: Resurrectioncomic storyline and was "just as affecting". She also highlighted the Cloak of Levitation, Kurt, and Happy Hogan, and gave the episode 4.5 out of 5 stars.[9]Writing forThe A.V. Club,Sam Barsanti believed the episode had "all of the violence, black humor, and brain-chomping that you'd expect", and gave the episode a "B−". Barsanti felt Parker's interjections of pop culture references successfully undercut the episode's horror elements despite being a repetitive trope after stories such asZombieland(2009).[8]

Tom Jorgensen ofIGNwas more negative about the episode, comparing it to "What If... Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead of His Hands?"which had darkness rooted in Doctor Strange'scharacter arcwhile the story of "What If... Zombies?!" just "shambles along" between different zombie encounters; he scored the episode 5 out of 10. Jorgensen criticized the episode's tonal inconsistencies and comedy, feeling the latter was overused and detracted from the realism of the story's MCU connections. He also took issue with the virus being explained only as a "quantum virus", which he felt was lazy writing. Jorgensen enjoyed how the outbreak affected Vision, but was disappointed that the episode quickly moved past its exploration of the character's disregard for human life in trying to save Maximoff. He was mostly positive about the action sequences, but felt they were hindered by the episode's unclear logic for why the zombie characters could use their superpowers.[10]Amon Warmann agreed with Jorgensen's sentiments in his review forYahoo! News,finding the overall episode to be unsatisfying and the weakest of the series so far. He was positive about Parker's "eternal optimism" and his relationship with Hope, and he said Hope's final act of going giant size for the first time in the MCU was "beautifully played", but he found the episode to otherwise be rushed with even more pacing issues than what he had highlighted for previous episodes. Like Jorgensen, Warmann also compared this episode to the previous one's tragic tone, criticizing "What If... Zombies?!" for trying to move between dark and comedic tones in a "disjointed" way and for the inconsistent way the characters felt about killing zombie versions of other heroes.[35]

Despite his mostly negative feelings for the episode, Jorgensen was positive about the voice acting which is something he had criticized in earlier episodes. He specifically highlighted the performances of Gurira, Boseman, and Dastmalchian.[10]Warmann, on the other hand, felt the series' voice acting was "more mixed than ever", criticizing the performances of Ruffalo and Stan. He felt Lilly gave the episode's strongest performance, and was shocked at how close Thames' voice was to Tom Holland's portrayal of Parker.[35]Barsanti thought Thames did a fine job replacing Holland, and enjoyed Rudd's comedic performance as well as the visual joke of the Cloak of Levitation flying around with Lang's head in a jar. He was surprised at Boseman's role in the episode after thesecond episodehad been presented as a farewell to the late actor.[8]Opie, Barsanti, Jorgensen, and Warmann all highlighted Boseman's poignant line in the episode: "In my culture, death is not the end. They're still with us, as long as we do not forget them."[8][10][34][35]

Marvel Studios began development on the spin-off series after the positive fan response to the episode and its cliffhanger ending.[37]Several actors reprise their MCU roles in the series, includingAwkwafinaasKaty,David HarbourasAlexei Shostakov / Red Guardian,Simu LiuasXu Shang-Chi,Elizabeth OlsenasWanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch,Randall ParkasJimmy Woo,Florence PughasYelena Belova,Hailee SteinfeldasKate Bishop,Dominique ThorneasRiri Williams / Ironheart,andIman VellaniasKamala Khan / Ms. Marvel.[39]Marvel Zombiesis scheduled to debut on Disney+ on October 3, 2025,[39]and will consist of four episodes.[40]
