New Trailer for Marvel’s “What If…?” Series Previews the Arrival of the Marvel Zombies [Video]
Why stop at one world… when we can visit all of them?
The upcoming Marvel series “What If…?” for Disney+ is a project we likely won’t be covering much here on Bloody Disgusting, but one notable tidbit about the series is that the concept is opening the door for the arrival of the Marvel Zombies. Glimpsed in a new first look trailer from Disney this week, the animated series will at least feature Zombie Captain America!
Under the “What If…?” umbrella, Marvel is able to get a little crazy with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, exploring strange scenarios we’d normally only see in the comic books.
There is indeed a “Marvel Zombies” universe in the world of comics, and it should be fun to see some of that horror-heavy storytelling play out on screen in Disney+’s “What If…?”
Check out the new trailer below. “What If…” premieres Summer 2021.

‘The Terror’ Will Return for Season 4 With Another Literary Horror Story
AMC’s horror series “The Terror” wrapped its third season last month, but plans are already in motion for season four.
Executive producer David W. Zucker has confirmed that “The Terror” Season 4 is moving forward in a new chat with ScreenRant, revealing that they’ve “just closed the deal on the book we’re gonna develop next” for the series.
Which novel they’re adapting remains shrouded in secrecy at this stage, however.
That might not seem like much to go on at this stage, but the second season was an original story. Furthermore, there was a lengthy gap between seasons two and three, causing many to speculate that the third season would be the anthology series’ last. Unlike its first two, Season 3 shifted from airing on AMC to a dual Shudder and AMC+ weekly release plan, with neither streamer revealing viewership numbers.
So not only is this confirmation that the series is moving forward, but it won’t be another six years before we see Season 4.
The first season of the supernatural drama, based on Dan Simmons’ novel and aired in 2018, was set on the frigid decks of a Victorian Era sailing ship following a doomed course, while season two, “The Terror: Infamy,” which premiered in August 2019, centered on a malevolent, shape-shifting force that is locked up with prisoners in a Japanese internment camp.
Season 3, “The Terror: Devil in Silver,” tells the story of Pepper – a working class moving man, who through a combination of bad luck and a bad temper, finds himself wrongfully committed to New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital – an institution filled with the people society would rather forget. There, he must contend with patients who work against him, doctors who harbor grim secrets, and perhaps even the very Devil himself.
Dan Stevens (The Guest, Abigail) stars alongside Judith Light, CCH Pounder, Aasif Mandvi, John Benjamin Hickey, Stephen Root, Michael Aronov, Marin Ireland, Chinaza Uche, Hampton Fluker, Hayward Leach, and Philip Ettinger.
The six-episode new season is based on Victor LaValle’s novel, The Devil in Silver.
