Rumors: Blade Expected To Have a Massive Role in ‘Marvel Zombies’ Related to Moon Knight

During Disney+ Day 2021, it was revealed that an animated Marvel Zombies TV series was in development for Disney+, with Zeb Wells serving as the writer and executive producer. The series continues the universe established in the ‘What If…?’ episode titled ‘What If… Zombies!?’.

At San Diego Comic-Con 2022, it was announced that the series would be rated TV-MA and would premiere in 2024. In an interview on October 8, 2022, Zeb Wells shared that the first season would consist of four episodes. On November 28, 2023, Iman Vellani confirmed her involvement, voicing Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel is one of the main characters in the series.

Now recent rumors that have resurfaced point in the direction of Blade having a massive role in the show taking over as Fist of Khonshu, replacing Moon Knight.

We already know that Marvel Zombies will include plenty of Zombified heroes, and we have already seen a taste of what’s to come in the finale of ‘What If…?’ Season 2 when the show presented us with Zombie Scarlet Witch in her full glory, and there’s also the report that Moon Knight is also reported to appear but it’s as of yet unclear why he is no longer the Fist of Khonshu and why Blade had to replace him. Since ‘Marvel Zombies’ will be rated TV-MA, we will perhaps see Moon Knight in his gory glory, without holding back, which previously wasn’t possible, not even in his standalone show.

‘Marvel Zombies’ is set to be released sometime in 2024, and it’s one of many animated projects set to be released this year, the show will consist of four episodes in total. Some time ago, Bryan Andrews confirmed that despite sharing a name with one of the most notable Marvel storylines, ‘Marvel Zombies’ won’t be a direct adaptation of the show but rather only inspired by it.
