Baron Zemo Reportedly Returning in MARVEL ZOMBIES Animated Series — GeekTyrant
It looks like the undead aren't the only ones crawling back for Marvel Zombies . According to a new scoop from @MyTimeToShineH, Captain America: Civil War villain Baron Zemo is reportedly set to return in the upcoming animated Marvel Zombies series. Whether or not Daniel Brühl is reprising the role hasn't been confirmed yet, but it's hard to picture Zemo without him. Marvel Zombies will expand on the fan-favorite episode from What If...? Season 1, where we saw our heroes battling a horrifying, zombified version of the MCU. That story ended with Spider-Man, T'Challa, and Ant-Man's floating head flying to Wakanda… unaware that a zombified Thanos was standing by with a fully loaded Infinity Gauntlet. The new series is set to pick up on that cliffhanger and push the carnage forward, this time centering on a mostly Phase 4 roster of characters. As for Zemo? The last we saw of him, he was last scene in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier . In the comics, Zemo famously led the Thunderbolts, a team of villains pretending to be heroes who, over time, actually became heroes. The live-action Thunderbolts* movie skipped that plot entirely, and Zemo was nowhere to be seen. (Though it's been said he was briefly considered.) So what's a scheming genius doing in a zombie apocalypse? We don't know yet. There's no confirmation if he'll be undead himself or one of the last brilliant minds still trying to stay alive. But if Marvel knows what it's doing, Zemo's inclusion won't be just for a gruesome cameo. Back in February, Marvel Studios' Head of TV, Streaming, and Animation Brad Winderbaum revealed: 'Hudson [Thames] has been our animated voice for Spider-Man in the MCU so far. In What If...?, in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, and he also plays Spider-Man in Marvel Zombies, which comes out Halloween time this year.' Hudson Thames will be joined by a pretty stacked voice cast: Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch, Awkwafina as Katy, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, Randall Park as Jimmy Woo, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Hailee Steinfeld as Hawkeye, Dominique Thorne as Ironheart, Iman Vellani as Ms. Marvel, and Todd Williams in a mysterious role. The four-episode animated series is directed by Bryan Andrews and written by Zeb Wells, with executive producers Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt, Wells, and Andrews. The official synopsis is keeping it vague for now, simply stating: 'From Marvel Animation, 'Marvel Zombies' comes in time for Halloween in October 2025.' Marvel Zombies premieres October 3, 2025.
