I doubt we'll see any blood and guts, but considering how dark the Dr. Strange episode was...
I expect it to be on par with Community's zombie episode in terms of screen violence.
Yup. I dont really need to see silly amounts of gore, I just want the tone of the show to be pretty dark (as you'd expect when a zombie outbreak occurs. Good point on the Strange ep, I was so glad that they didnt go for a last minute happy "hero wins" ending, instead we get an awesome Twilight Zone'eque ending with The Watcher showing up to say "I told you so" and then buggering off.
I'm curious what they turn into the zombie virus. So far, everything has stuck pretty close to the MCU up until the point where something happens and it's usually something at least tangential to the normal story, so a zombie virus just popping up seems unlikely. Cap is prominently shown as a zombie, so do we think it might have something to do with the Super Soldier serum? It'd be a very different world if it turned him into a zombie originally, so it would have to be a long-term side effect or perhaps an interaction he does not have in the MCU.
Marvel Zombies this week? Sweet.
I doubt it will be as graphic as the comic. Even though this isn't really a "kids show", it will at least try to remain PG-13.

Why would it have anything to do with the super soldier serum? Current theories suggest it'll be the virus Crossbone stole in Laos.
I feel like with zombies as long as there's no blood inside the zombies you can get away with a lot
She would explode since her bodies ability to regulate that power would fail due to the lack of normal function. Just like Tony would be a weak corpse barely hobbling around with heavy metal strapped to him
I just had a thought... is Black Panther going to be among the zombies? If so, that's gonna be awkward....
That'd make sense.
As for why the assumption of being Super Soldier serum related, it's just because Zombie Steve is prominently featured in the promotional material. It MIGHT imply that he's patient zero...which could still be the case with the bioweapon theory as well. There's always the chance that the bioweapon and the Super Soldier serum (or what's left in Steve's blood at least) combine poorly to create a zombie virus. Bioweapons are one thing, but a zombie bioweapon seems like an apocalypse-only bioweapon with no real value as a "weapon" to be sold so much as just end the world entirely.
Rumor is it's the virus that Crossbones was trying to release at the start of Civil War.
EDIT: Oh I see that was already mentioned.
He's supposedly in this episode, actually. As long as an animated production doesn't exceed 42 minutes, Marvel Studios can use Spider-Man characters without Sony's permission.
I'm surprised Ruffalo was allowed to share such a clip (and that this one looks to be set around the time of Infinity War).
So Okoye is also not infected (as is Spider-Man, which we already knew would happen). Likewise, looks like Janet & Hank brought the virus from the Quantum Realm.
Honestly, my biggest issue with that episode is it honestly felt like they created the twist first and tried to write everything else to fit into it. So then they had to dump a lot of exposition at the very end to justify it.
Like in a weird way that makes it more true to the 70s comics because that is something that they were especially guilty of, either having a last-minute plot twist or characters being completely OOC to make the story work lol.
IIRC the trailer that showed Zombie Cap had him fighting Bucky, right?
My guess is the plague doesn't immediately make it into Wakanda. Black Panther hype?
T'Challa was on the front lines with Steve & Tony, so I'm not so sure about that.

Honestly a great question. He's gonna appear in a future episode but... I'm gonna pay attention to that one 👀
Thing is, Marvel cannot use Tobey's Spider-Man or Andrew's Spider-Man in the comics or other media (Even if they changed the likeness to the actors), they are tied to Sony. So I'm curious to know how it works with Holland's...
Man I love Marvel Zombies so I really hope this isn't a super shortened one and done lol
And if it is i really hope zombies return when the FF are active.

That's from What If Wolverine became the Lord of Vampires. Not Zombies.I would have loved to see this:
I'd imagine that the animated Spider-Man rules apply here (< 42 minutes without needing Sony to sign off on it). Plus Aunt May first showed up in Civil War.
Just from looking at the clip, I find it weird how Tony couldn't just fly out of there. Guess will see how it happens tonight.
Betty Ross looked... slightly off from Liv Tyler. So I can see MCU Spidey's supporting cast looking slightly off if they appear.
(There's also the fact that MCU MJ's name isn't technically Mary Jane Watson. Which might make some things... complicated...)
Ned was in Infinity War & Endgame while (as mentioned earlier) Aunt May was in Civil War & Endgame. I'm not sure it's that big a deal.

I mean, if nothing else, you'd think the suit would keep him from being infected even if they got their hands on him...a few zombies with super strength notwithstanding.
Oh I know, I just mean since Peter has the cloak in the show himself.
