The first R-rated (for adults) television series has been announced by Marvel Studios. It’s the first time in the entire MCU!
In the exclusive animation panel of the UCM held at the Comic-Con 2022the studio has confirmed that the animated series Marvel Zombies will have a TV-MA rating. The executives have promised that there will be a lot more blood than we imagined. This rating is like the R rating in movies. That is, it is a series focused on an adult audience.
The Serie Marvel Zombies will take place in the same universe as the zombie universe that we met in the first season of What If? Apparently, the program Disney+ will include more zombified MCU superheroes and villains. It has already been confirmed that we will have Wanda Maximoff, Ghost, Hawk Eye, Abomination, Captain Marvela Captain America without legs, ikaris and many more. Crazy!
The repercussions of this historical event
The implications of Marvel Studios making their next series with a zombie-themed adult rating are huge. It opens the door wide for other MCU projects to do the same. Even that we have an R rating on movies with theatrical releases.
This fact, together with the movies dead pool, Logan Y Dead Pool 2 coming to Disney+, indicates that the company feels more comfortable with the idea of making projects aimed at a more adult audience. It has already been confirmed that Dead Pool 3 it will maintain its mature rating when it arrives at Marvel Studios. But maybe future MCU projects will do the same. maybe the series Daredevil suffer the same fate? Will we see other larger projects receiving similar treatment?
Hopefully that’s the case, because we’re looking forward to having radically different Marvel Studios products. Products that take the UCM a little further and take a step forward into the future.
