So, is the Marvel Zombies trailer real or just another fan creation?
Here is everything you need to know about the viral trailer of the upcoming animated adventure series.
Is the Marvel Zombies series trailer real or fake?
The Marvel Zombies series trailer is fake and fan-made.
The trailer, which is probably created by Artificial intelligence, features some exciting visuals giving it a realistic feel. It also showcased Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man turning into a zombie.
The creator of the trailer, KH Studio is a YouTube channel famous for creating fan-made trailers to generate buzz and viewership. In the past, the channel has released several concept-based trailers for projects such as The Conjuring 4 and The Godfather 4.

Currently, Marvel has no confirmed plans for a live-action Marvel Zombies adaptation. On the other hand, the studio has yet to drop a full-fledged trailer for the upcoming animated series. In October 2024, Marvel released a promotional video that featured footage of the show. It showcased a zombified Okoye that appears to be an animated version of Yelena Belova and Blade. The last shot further leaves fans curious with Captain America transformed into a zombie.
Will Robert Downey Jr. voice Iron Man in Marvel Zombies?
No, Robert Downey Jr. will not voice Iron Man in Marvel Zombies.
As of now, Iron Man’s character is not confirmed to feature in the animated series. For the unaware, even in the What If..? series it was Mick Wingert who voiced the iconic superhero instead of Downey Jr. So, the actor’s chances to voice Tony Stark in Marvel Zombies are unlikely.
The animated series will feature the voices of Awkwafina, Elizabeth Olsen, Randall Park, Simu Liu, and Florence Pugh, among others.
Marvel Zombies will premiere on October 3, 2025 on Disney Plus.
