First reactions for Marvel Zombies are in

Early reviews for Marvel Zombies are in, and the show appears to deliver on its promise of intense violence. While the action is receiving praise, many critics are pointing out weaknesses in the storyline.

Marvel Zombies boasts a star-studded voice cast, including Elizabeth Olsen, Florence Pugh, Simu Liu, and Iman Vellani. The story follows a group of survivors after a zombie virus infects the Avengers. They embark on a dangerous journey across a ruined world, searching for a way to stop the super-powered undead and save humanity.

I saw that Erik Swann over at CinemaBlend shared his thoughts on *Marvel Zombies* on X, and it sounds pretty good! He said it’s not something you *need* to watch to follow the main MCU storyline, but it’s definitely an enjoyable little side adventure about a group of characters trying to survive the zombie apocalypse. He also mentioned the character dynamics are fun and that it delivers on the gore if you’re into that kind of thing.

In a review for Barton Reviews, Josh Barton described Marvel Zombies as a thrilling and violent animated series. He noted that the show features a lot of intense, graphic action, with heroes both inflicting and suffering brutal injuries. While some parts feel unnecessary, Barton also highlighted several emotionally powerful scenes that make the series engaging.

Film critic Michael J. Lee found the show “disengaging,” explaining that “Marvel Zombies” relies too much on shock value and lacks compelling emotional depth. He also felt the voice acting wasn’t very convincing.

Fans at POC Culture enjoyed the exciting moments in #MarvelZombies but felt the story was rushed. They hoped for more episodes to fully explore the narrative and expressed a strong desire for additional seasons, saying, “There are some truly epic moments…but the overall story would have benefited from further development. As usual, I wish it was more than 4 episodes. We absolutely need more seasons.”

All four episodes of the show will premiere on September 24, 2025.
