MARVEL ZOMBIES Will Rise in New Animated Series – New Image and Director Promises 'Blood Will Be Spilled' — GeekTyrant
If that's not enough to get you hyped, Bryan Andrews, the series showrunner, is making a bold promise: 'All I can say is, blood will be spilled.'
This isn't Andrews' first rodeo in the world of animation. He's known for his work on Primal , Sym-Bionic Titan , and Star Wars: Clone Wars , and he's now bringing his signature intensity to Marvel Zombies .
The series spins out of the events of Marvel's What If…? , which already gave fans a terrifying glimpse of the undead plague infecting beloved heroes.
The new image reveals a horde of zombified Marvel characters, showcasing just how deep this infection runs through the multiverse. It also teases new faces joining the fight for survival.
Unlike the original What If…? episode, this show brings in several MCU characters who didn't appear the first time around. Expect to see David Harbour as Red Guardian, Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch, Florence Pugh as Yelena, Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, Iman Vellani as Ms. Marvel, Awkwafina as Katy Chen, Randall Park as Agent Jimmy Woo, Dominique Thorne as Ironheart, and Hailee Steinfeld as Hawkeye.
The series will introduce a new version of Blade voiced by Todd Williams. It's a very different take on the iconic vampire hunter and could be a fresh start for the character in the animated multiverse.
The undead mayhem began back in Ultimate Fantastic Four #21-23, thanks to writer Mark Millar and artist Greg Land. That storyline led directly into the Marvel Zombies comic book miniseries from The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman and artist Sean Phillips, who took things to a grotesque new level.
In those stories, zombified heroes didn't just eat civilians. They consumed their fellow Avengers and even absorbed the power of Galactus.
Back in What If…? , we saw the likes of Spider-Man, Ant-Man, and Black Panther survive the zombie outbreak, but the episode's closing moments teased something even more terrifying. Zombie Thanos, Infinity Gauntlet nearly complete, stood ready to reshape the multiverse.
It's unclear if Marvel Zombies will pick up from that wild scene, but it's safe to say we haven't seen the last of undead Thanos.
Marvel Zombies looks like it's ready to deliver a wild and bloody ride. As Andrews puts it, 'All I can say is, blood will be spilled.'

Alan Cumming Goes Viral For Avengers: Doomsday Quotes
Marvel hasn't been having the smoothest run with its latest phases. Given that Jonathan Majors was set to lead the new era, only to be dropped after his assault conviction, one can understand why there might be trepidation about the upcoming mega-blockbuster Avengers: Doomsday. Robert Downey Jr. is set to play Victor Von Doom in a deal likely as valuable as the GDP of a small nation, but he's not the only one returning to the superhero world. Alan Cumming will be reprising his role as Nightcrawler, who he last played in the X-Men sequel X2. All of this to say that Alan's recent comments to Gold Derby about his on-set experience are raising some eyebrows. Having recently wrapped, he told the publication, "I did the entire film in isolation. Lots of green screen, face replacement. They even gave characters fake names." "I don't know who I was acting with half the time,' he added. 'I broke the internet by mentioning something once, but honestly, I might have got it wrong.' The quotes quickly made the rounds, with some passing judgement on the likely result of such isolation and secret-keeping: Some brought up Ian McKellen, who previously admitted that he cried on the set of The Hobbit due to the use of green screen. 'In order to shoot the dwarves and a large Gandalf, we couldn't be in the same set. All I had for company was 13 photographs of the dwarves on top of stands with little lights – whoever's talking flashes up,' he said. 'I cried, actually. I cried. Then I said out loud, 'This is not why I became an actor.'" Incidentally, Ian will also be reprising his X-Men role in Avengers: Doomsday. It is worth noting that Alan also recently gave an interview to People in which he said of the experience, "I just came back. It was amazing. It was actually really... in a sort of ooey, gooey way, it was really healing and really nice to go back to something that it was a terrible experience when I did it the first time...A great film, great film. I love the film." He also suggested that his schedule on The Traitors was the reason for his isolation, saying, "I got it done really quickly because I couldn't go, because of The Traitors, when most of my scenes were being I squashed them all together, and got a green screen and various things and little scenes of people here and there. But it was pretty stealthy." What do you make of the whole thing? LMK in the comments! Do you love all things TV and movies?

THE LONG WALK Social Media Reactions Call It Brutal, Soul‑Wrenching, and One of King's Greatest Adaptations — GeekTyrant
The first wave of reactions for The Long Walk has landed, and if the early praise is any indication, we're looking at one of the strongest Stephen King adaptations to date. Directed by Francis Lawrence ( The Hunger Games franchise), this chilling and emotionally loaded dystopian thriller is hitting audiences right in the gut. Based on King's first written novel, The Long Walk tells the story of a cruel annual event where 50 teenage boys are forced to walk non-stop across a dystopian America. If their speed drops below three miles per hour, they're executed on the spot. There's no resting, no turning back, only walking until one is left standing. That survivor wins and will never have to worry about anything again. Critics are calling The Long Walk 'brutal,' 'soul-wrenching,' and 'one of the best Stephen King adaptations' ever made. They've praised the film's intense emotional weight, its shocking moments, and the powerful chemistry between leads Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson. Many described it as 'visceral,' 'gripping,' and 'unforgettable'. While fans of King know how hit-or-miss his book adaptations can be, Lawrence appears to have cracked the code here. Social media is lighting up with overwhelmingly positive reactions after the first screening. This adaptation has been a long time coming. Over the years, directors like George A. Romero and Frank Darabont tried to bring the story to life but never made it across the finish line. Now, Lawrence, working from a script by JT Mollner, has finally delivered. The cast features Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, Garrett Wareing, Tut Nyuot, Charlie Plummer, Ben Wang, Roman Griffin Davis, Jordan Gonzalez, Joshua Odjick, Josh Hamilton, with Judy Greer and Mark Hamill rounding things out. Hamill takes on the chilling role of the Major, and he's credited Mike Flanagan for nudging him into darker territory. According to the cast, they walked close to 300 miles during filming to capture the true physical and emotional toll of the story. The Long Walk opens in theaters on September 12

DJ Khaled is Changing Men's Grooming With This Partnership
DJ Khaled has partnered with Rewind It 10, a beard dye brand launched by Carolyn and Jeff Aronson and Fat Joe, turning personal grooming into a message of confidence and business growth. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Social media puts every aspect of our appearance under a microscope, and insecurities are more visible than ever. You're not just worried about coworkers noticing a bald spot or a grey patch — everyone can see everything about you online. But as any savvy entrepreneur knows, small problems can spark big opportunities. Rewind It 10, a beard dye brand, is capitalizing on that very tension. By partnering with music and entertainment mogul DJ Khaled, the brand is turning a confidence crisis into a growth strategy — boosting self-assurance for customers while driving its bottom line. All he does is win The best celebrity partnerships happen organically, and this one is no exception. Khaled was already a Rewind It 10 customer before he became a spokesman, using the product regularly. "I use this product every day — especially when I get a haircut," he says. "Back when we were making it, they let me test it out, and they even gave me one to use before my official box was ready." He likens the dye to a favorite cereal or sneaker — something you reach for without thinking twice. But for Khaled, the product itself is only part of the draw. What really attracted him to Rewind It 10 was the team behind it. The brand was launched in October 2023 by beauty mogul Carolyn Aronson, entrepreneur Jeff Aronson and Khaled's fellow music mogul Fat Joe. "Fat Joe is my brother," Khaled says. "He's supported me since day one, so when he brought me the chance to help sell a product I already love, it was a no-brainer." Khaled also has deep respect for the Aronsons and the empire they've built in hair care, calling Carolyn "the queen." Carolyn, a Puerto Rican-born entrepreneur, turned her experience as a hairstylist and salon owner into a global brand. She founded It's a 10 Haircare in 2005, best known for its Miracle Leave-In product, and has grown it into a $500 million-a-year powerhouse. Her husband, Jeff, serves as CEO and president, bringing leadership experience from roles including Titan Fighting Championships and Arco Property Management. He joined It's a 10 in 2017, helping scale the brand alongside Carolyn's vision. "What they've built is a winning team," the All I Do is Win rapper says. "And I believe winners should work with winners, and create more winners." So far, Khaled's beard dye has lived up to the standard he set with that 2010 hit, becoming the best-seller in Rewind's celebrity ambassador line, which also includes Travis Kelce. 'Major Key' alert Khaled has built an identity on catchphrases, one of the many reasons the Rewind team wanted to work with him. From "We the Best" to "Another One", the man figured out long ago how to apply classic marketing techniques of short, memorable slogans to the social media age. For his "Real Black" beard dye, Khaled landed on "Why fight time when you can rewind time." "When I come up with something like that, it's not a slogan — it's from my heart and soul," Khaled says. "Rewind just enhances the glow God gave us. Like a fresh haircut — do the full works, let the barber do his thing. Music, fashion, lifestyle — it's all art, and barbers are artists too." But key to Khaled's success isn't just his knack for catchy slogans — it's his immeasurable, infectious self-confidence. And that's precisely what Rewind is trying to sell. "Confidence is beautiful," Khaled says. "It's a divine power that tells you, 'Yo, you can do this,' and reminds you who you are. Once you build that confidence, it's only going to help you in everything you want to accomplish." For Khaled — and countless others — looking good is a crucial part of that confidence. But it's not just about turning heads. It's about maintaining a level of excellence and, as he puts it, "upkeeping the blessings God gave us." "We're talking about beards and looks, but I see it deeper than that," he says. "God made us beautiful either way — haircut or no haircut — but it's like having a beautiful house and not trimming the grass, watering the plants, or taking care of the mango tree. You've got to upkeep it. Same with the beard and the hair — that's the best way to break it down."
