Marvel Zombies ends with a blunt genre statement: the heroes lose. In the final episode, the remaining survivors and the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj make a last stand against Wanda Maximoff—now fully transformed into the “Queen of the Dead”—as she targets the Infinity Stone power contained within “Infinity Hulk” (Bruce Banner).
The resistance mounts a fight, but Wanda ultimately overpowers them and reaches the Infinity power anyway. That’s the point where the finale stops being a “can they cure this?” story and becomes a “what would you trade to undo it?” story—because Wanda offers Kamala Khan a way out.
Who Survives and Who Doesn’t
Survivors (Confirmed On-Screen By the End)
-
Kamala Khan (Ms Marvel): physically alive at the end, but trapped.
-
Riri Williams (Ironheart): revealed to be still human and alive in the “glitch” moment, fighting zombies and warning Kamala that what she’s seeing isn’t real.
Survivors Who Make It to the Finale (But Don’t Make It Out)
Earlier, the show establishes a small “escape group” from New Asgard—Kamala, Blade Knight, Valkyrie, Shang-Chi, and Katy—but the finale’s last battle wipes out the remaining resistance as Wanda closes in.
The clearest takeaway the series wants you to sit with is this: by the end, Kamala is effectively alone in terms of agency, and the world is no longer in human hands.
Kamala’s Choice and Why It Changes Everything
With her allies gone, Kamala accepts Wanda’s offer—taking her hand after being told they can “fix” the suffering and make things whole.
For a moment, it looks like a reset: Kamala wakes up in Jersey City, her family is safe, and she’s back with friends like Kate and Riri.
But the show quickly undercuts that relief. Reality “glitches,” and Kamala sees the true world underneath—zombies in the streets—and the real, still-human Riri trying to break through and warn her.
So Kamala’s decision doesn’t save the world. It hands it over—because the “normal life” ending is framed as Wanda’s illusion, not a cure.
Marvel’s own filmmakers have been direct about the intent: they wanted a classic, dark genre ending that leaves you unsettled—and they explicitly describe it as the kind of cliffhanger that makes you demand what comes next.
Is There a Post-Credits Scene?
No—none of the episodes include a post-credits stinger.
What the Ending Sets Up Next
The finale leaves two big chess pieces on the board:
-
Wanda, now with control and a “constructed” reality.
-
Kamala, trapped inside that reality, and Riri, alive outside it and trying to reach her.
Marvel’s team has also publicly said they have ideas for where to go if the series continues, even though a second season wasn’t confirmed at the time of those comments.
