Marvel Zombies director discusses Blade, a scrapped film version and Season 2 plans
The director of Marvel Zombies has spoken to Variety about how the animated series came together, including the introduction of Blade to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, an earlier film version that was abandoned, and what might lie ahead in plans for a second season.
One of the most striking production details was that a film version of the project was scrapped because of Spider-Man rights. The project ultimately took shape as a series instead, and the interview traced how that change of format shaped the version that reached screens, as well as how Blade was brought into the MCU through the show.
The conversation also turned to Season 2 plans. No plot details are needed to take the point: the creative team is already thinking about how the series could continue, even as the discussion of its origins underlines how close Marvel Zombies came to being a very different kind of release.
