Spider-Man will be making a return appearance in the MCU via the upcoming Marvel Zombies TV show, set to premiere later this year on Disney Plus.
Voiced by Hudson Thames, the wall-crawler will be taking on waves of the undead, reprising the role from season one of Marvel’s What If…?

The original zombie episode of the animated show ended with Spider-Man returning to Wakanda with Black Panther and Ant-Man with a zombie Thanos laying in wait.
It’s unknown if the new series will kick off from this moment or tackle a whole new story.
Speaking in a recent interview, Brad Winderbaum noted, “Hudson has been our animated voice for Spider-Man in the MCU so far. In What If...?, in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, and he also plays Spider-Man in Marvel Zombies which comes out Halloween time this year.”
Hudson will join several other big Marvel stars who are reprising their roles also.
Elizabeth Olsen will return to play Scarlet Witch, Simu Liu is back as Shang-Chi, and Iman Vellani is Ms Marvel again.
Who knows how much of Spider-Man we’ll see in this growing ensemble cast, but we at least know he will be featured.
Whether he survives is another matter entirely.
Discussing the show, Ms Marvel’s Iman Vellani said, “We've done the whole thing. It was amazing. It was so much fun. And I love—there are a lot of cool characters in the Marvel Zombies show. And Kamala is kind of the centre of the show.”
Hudson Thames recently found himself in hot water after a particular comment went viral, leading to many fans being unhappy with the Spider-Man actor.
This surfaced after recording of Marvel Zombies and during the press run for Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man.
There is no release date set for Marvel Zombies as yet.
