The One Marvel Death That’s Too Nasty For Disney’s MCU

While we don’t anticipate seeing Evangeline Lilly get chomped on in a future Marvel movie, there’s one project that’s on the way where Marvel Studios could pay homage to Wasp’s comic book demise. If we’re reunited with her in the animated show “Marvel Zombies,” that is.

MCU fans were given a rotting taste of the anticipated series via “What If…?” Season 1, Episode 5, “What If..? Zombies,!” where we saw Wasp sacrifice herself to the zombie horde to save the other surviving heroes. With that in mind, it’d be an easy wink to comic book fans to show a now-decaying Hope chowing down on anyone that looks remotely like the Blob (mutants might be on the menu in the MCU by that time) as a nice little twisted homage to that horrific moment in comic book history.

Such a concept might seem a bit too far for the world of “What If…?,” but it’s already been confirmed that “Marvel Zombies,” which is inspired by the comic written by “The Walking Dead’s” Robert Kirkman with art by “Criminal” co-creator Sean Phillips, will cut a little deeper. The show, while not taking its storylines from the pages of the comic book series, will have a TV-MA rating, promising a meaner monster than fans might expect. Considering that, a scene where we see Van Dyne dine on some poor victim, only to compare them to chicken, could be worth it if served just right.
