“Marvel Zombies (2025)” delivers a chilling twist to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as Earth falls victim to a zombie apocalypse caused by an experimental virus that turns superheroes into ravenous undead. The first trailer introduces Jared Leto as a morally conflicted Doctor Strange, who inadvertently unleashes the outbreak while attempting to resurrect a fallen ally. Margot Robbie stars as Kate Bishop, the sharp-witted Hawkeye protege leading a ragtag group of survivors—including Peter Parker and Okoye—fighting to save humanity from infected icons like Iron Man, Captain America, and Hulk.
The film blends horror and dark humor, exploring themes of survival, sacrifice, and redemption. In a shocking twist, it’s revealed that Strange has been manipulating events to contain the infection, even if it means dooming millions. Meanwhile, Robbie’s Kate emerges as the emotional core of the story, grappling with guilt over her role in spreading the contagion. The climax features an epic showdown against Zombie Wanda Maximoff, whose reality-altering powers make her nearly unstoppable.
With a reported budget of $190 million, “Marvel Zombies” spares no expense on gruesome creature designs, VFX-heavy action sequences, and eerie recreations of iconic MCU locations overrun by chaos. Early projections estimate a global box office haul of $600–$700 million, fueled by fan excitement for this bold spin-off. After accounting for production and marketing costs, the net worth income is projected at approximately $380–$420 million in theaters alone. Excluding streaming revenue, “Marvel Zombies” promises to deliver both thrills and chills while expanding Marvel Studios’ creative boundaries.
