The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been pretty far reaching in terms of its comic book influences (who would’ve thought we’d ever get a Guardians of the Galaxy movie!), but for a variety of reasons, many stories remain more or less unadaptable. Marvel Zombies is definitely one of those.
Luckily, for those pining for a peek at what an undead-infested MCU would look like, we’ve got this excellent fan interpretation:
The faux-trailer was created by Alex Luthor, who you might remember from that epic Marvel vs. DC mash-up last year.
Obviously he’s taken some liberties with the source material, which focused more on zombified superheroes who still retained their intelligence; but frankly, that story is just a bit too goofy to translate well to the MCU. His trailer meanwhile is a direction that a live-action Marvel Zombies movie might actually go with, so extra props there.
Sadly, if we were to ever see a real Marvel Zombies movie in theaters, it wouldn’t be for a very, very long time (Phase.. 20?), long after Robert Downey Jr. and crew have retired from the job. Luthor’s trailer is a pretty decent consolation prize though.
