Marvel Studios’ upcoming spinoff series, Marvel Zombies, could introduce the perfect replacement for SHIELD in the MCU’s Multiverse Saga. The concept of zombies in the MCU was introduced during Phase 4’s What If…?, which explored alternate realities in the multiverse after the events of Loki, with What If…? season 1, episode 5, “What If… Zombies?!,” premiering in September 2021. This episode adapted the Marvel Zombies storyline in Marvel Comics, detailing an alternate reality in which the world’s population has been exposed to a deadly virus, turning some of Marvel’s most iconic heroes into zombies. The episode spawned an animated spinoff in the MCU, which is set to release in 2024.
