Exciting News for Marvel Fans
A beloved character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is set to make a comeback in an exciting animated series debuting on Disney Plus. Interestingly, Elizabeth Olsen revealed that she has little recollection of voicing this iconic character.
About Marvel Zombies
The Marvel Zombies series, one of three animated shows announced by Marvel Animation, is set to launch this year. This miniseries is adapted from the original Marvel Comics and is linked to the alternate universe first explored in the MCU episode “What If… Zombies?!”.The show will consist of four episodes featuring a group of survivors battling against zombified heroes and villains from the MCU.
Star-Studded Cast Returns
Excitement builds as a talented lineup returns to voice their animated counterparts from the live-action MCU. The cast includes popular names such as Awkwafina, David Harbour, Simu Liu, Randall Park, Florence Pugh, Hailee Steinfeld, Dominique Thorne, and Iman Vellani. However, the standout anticipation surrounds Elizabeth Olsen’s return as the zombified Scarlet Witch.
Olsen’s Playful Remembrance
During a recent interaction with Entertainment Tonight at the 40th Film Independent Spirit Awards, where she was honored with the prestigious Robert Altman award for her ensemble role in His Three Daughters, Olsen humorously expressed that she forgot much of her work. When prompted about her role as Scarlet Witch, she joked, “I feel like I did that years ago, ” acknowledging that animation processes often drag out the timeline between recording and release.

Timing of Production
Marvel Zombies was officially announced in November 2021, and reports indicate that Vellani confirmed her participation as Ms. Marvel shortly thereafter. If Olsen completed her voice work around the same timeframe, it’s understandable that she might forget her contributions due to the long animation timeline, especially if her role isn’t central to the narrative.
Fans’ High Hopes for Scarlet Witch
Marvel enthusiasts remain eager for Scarlet Witch’s return after her poignant sacrifice in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Projects that utilize the multiverse, such as Marvel Zombies, provide opportunities for the character’s comeback without directly resolving her fate in the main MCU storyline. While many fans are longing for her return to live-action, the upcoming animated series will have to satisfy their cravings for now.
Release Date Announcement
Mark your calendars: Marvel Zombies is set to premiere on Disney Plus on October 3, 2025.
