The MARVEL ZOMBIES series will reportedly give the undead Scarlet Witch a new name

Marvel Studios was deeply involved in the development of the Marvel Zombies animated series, and a new rumor suggests that the undead Scarlet Witch will be at the center of the story. The report comes from Scarlet Witch Updates, which states that the zombie version of Scarlet Witch will have a new nickname and will be known as The Dead Queen.

We have no information to reveal about the story, but judging by the new name she could turn out to be the new leader of the zombie legions that have devastated the Earth and its most powerful heroes.

All we know about the series so far is that it takes place in an alternate reality and reimagines the Marvel Universe as a new generation of heroes battling an ever-spreading zombie plague.

The wonders star Iman Vellani confirmed that she will reprise her role as Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, in the series, and her character will be the focus of the show. Vellani said: “We have done everything. It was amazing. It was so much fun. And I love: There are a lot of interesting characters in the Marvel Zombies show. And Kamala is kind of the center of the show.

Vellani also referenced The Lord of the Rings while talking about the series to explain Kamala’s role, saying, “They described her to me, it’s like, ‘She’s basically the Frodo of the story.’ And I thought, ‘This is fantastic.'”

The actress then teased the cast of characters, saying, “And I get to interact and meet all these people on her journey. And yes, it’s just voices and I can’t hear their voices in real time. But those are just my fantasies, right? Like, knowing that Kamala is going to be interacting with some really cool people, even if it’s just animation, is really special in a lot of ways.

Marvel Zombies has no confirmed premiere date, but is expected to debut later this year.
