Bryan Andrews, the showrunner for Marvel Zombies, has revealed that when it comes to the new miniseries, “all bets are off” in his approach. In an interview with Nerdist, the creator stated that the four-episode series will not include any direct references, homages, or Easter eggs from the original comic book source material. He explained that his goal is for the show to “be its own thing.”
When asked if there were any specific moments from the comics he wanted to replicate, Bryan replied, “Not so much in this iteration of it.” The filmmaker, who previously directed several episodes of What If…?, noted, “There were a few things that we did as a nod to the comics back in the first season of What If…?, but once we had done that, then it’s like, ‘OK, all bets are off.’”
He added, “On this one, we just went for it. So, if we get a chance to ever do another round of Marvel Zombies? Then you never know what stuff we might homage and borrow from the comics a little bit, just to acknowledge them. But this one pretty much seems to be its own thing, which is still cool.”
