Spider-Man and Shang Chi In Marvel Zombies Topped Off a Killer Marvel Animation Panel at D23

Marvel Animation had a ace amusive sheet astatine D23 this play but nary of the footage was released online. Which is simply a bummer. We were each acceptable to get that archetypal trailer for Eyes of Wakanda, and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man retired into the world.

That didn’t happen. What did hap is we got a fewer speedy glimpses astatine those shows, arsenic good arsenic X-Men ’97 play 2–which featured little shots of Wolverine returning and the iconic Frank Quitely suits from his and Grant Morrison’s run connected New X-Men–and What If…? play 3, which featured a caller squad of Avengers including Riri Williams, Moon Knight, Sam Wilson, and others flying mech suits that formed unneurotic into their precise ain mentation of Voltron. Eyes of Wakanda, Ryan Coogler’s caller animated bid past introduced america to its unsocial aesthetic, blending CG animation with a hand-drawn look. The little footage shown to attendees focused connected a caller quality named Noni, jumping crossed immense pirate ships trying to retrieve a disguise with greenish eyes, protecting a purple stone.

All of which was awesome. But, for us, the 2 biggest highlights came with our archetypal look astatine the intro to our Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, and the quality that Marvel Zombies is returning successful animated form, which had been rumored, arsenic good arsenic footage of it.

Starting with Spider-Man, the benignant of Friendly Neighborhood reminds maine of a 1950s cartoon successful the champion imaginable way. It began with Peter Parker’s archetypal time astatine school. Aunt May drives him up, and retired of nowhere, a immense greenish portal opens up successful the sky. Out drops a monolithic symbiote being–Venom-esque, but with a mane of fur and horns–and he’s acceptable to rise havoc, erstwhile 2 magical beams wrapper him up. It’s Dr. Strange. Peter is amazed astatine this magical wizard feline who appeared retired of obscurity but, the carnal escaped. The carnal starts to attack a chap pupil erstwhile Peter throws a ceramic to distract him. “Hey ugly,” helium says and Strange grabs him again. “Good prevention kid,” helium says. As this is happening, we spot a tiny spider fto itself down from the portal.

Strange pulls the carnal backmost up done the portal but arsenic it closes it cuts the spider’s web and it lands connected Peter’s shoulder. Peter goes up to the miss helium saved and we see, successful a 3 mode frame, his face, her face, and the spider crawling into his shirt. She introduces herself and Peter lets retired a wail. She’s offended but past helium passes out. This goes into a slayer recognition series acceptable to a precise catchy rap song, implicit with each mode of comic publication panels and stylization.

Things prime up a fewer months aboriginal with immoderate villains sporting precocious tech appendages attempting a robbery. In swings Spider-man, successful a precise homemade suit with tubes moving from a vessel connected his little backmost to his wrists. He attempts to halt them but gets deed hard and a dependable starts talking to him. It’s Norman Osborne (voiced by Colman Domingo), who says helium was monitoring him and tin connection help. He gives him proposal connected however to halt the villains, it works, and the time is saved… foror now.

An representation from the archetypal What If…? zombies occurrence – Marvel Studios

The sheet past ended with the quality that Marvel is making a 4 part, Marvel Zombies animated bid that’ll debut sometime successful the future, which volition amp up the unit from anterior animated Zombies worldly similar that successful What If…? with a TV-MA rating. The Zombies footage began with helicopters flying implicit a city, firing down and sidesplitting zombies. On the crushed we spot Shang-Chi and Katy successful their valet outfits (it definite dependable similar they were voiced by Simu Liu and Awkwafina, oregon astatine the slightest precise bully soundalikes) warring a clump of zombies. Down drops a antheral sporting immoderate precise agleam rings connected his arms. “Who is that?” Katy asks. “It’s my Dad,” Shang-Chi says. Wenwu starts kicking ass with the Ten Rings, including sidesplitting 1 zombie that was the size of Godzilla. In his amazement, Shang stops warring and is bitten connected the arm. It’s implicit for him… that is, until, Wenwu sends the rings to him which halt the corruption from spreading. Doing that, however, opens himself up and he’s killed by zombies. “Remember what your parent taught you,” Wenwu says arsenic helium dies. Katy and Shang, present successful possession of the rings, flight connected the helicopter.

“Five years later” is shown connected surface successful a bully small Endgame nod. The satellite is present post-apocalyptic and, driving done a wasteland, are Shang and Katy, listening to themselves screen Journey tunes connected “Zombie Apocalypse Radio.” They’re successful a pinkish highlighted sports car. Shang’s close limb has the rings connected it inactive protecting him from a slayer infection. Like a country retired of Mad Max, they pb a monolithic convoy including a motortruck driven by Jimmy Woo (voiced, we think, by Randall Park–again, that oregon a good soundalike).

A radical of atrocious guys–zombies we assume, but the pb rider was a Skrull–attempt to onslaught the group. It does not spell good and Shang and Katy occurrence the rings astatine them, 1 by one, picking them each off. “We’re truthful badass,” Jimmy says.

Marvel was astir arsenic keen connected sharing immoderate estimated merchandise windows for its upcoming animated shows arsenic it was sharing each the above-described footage publicly, truthful suffice to say, we’re not definite conscionable erstwhile to expect immoderate of this to marque its mode to Disney+. But we’d person to ideate Friendly Neighborhood and Eyes of Wakanda volition travel archetypal retired of thing we saw today. We’ll bring you much connected Marvel’s animated plans arsenic soon arsenic we larn them.
