Imagine your favorite Marvel heroes—Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man—gearing up to save the world as usual… but plot twist: they’re hungry. And not for shawarma. That’s right, Marvel Zombies takes the iconic Marvel Universe and flips it on its rotting, undead head. In this alternate reality, Earth’s mightiest heroes don’t protect the world—they devour it. What started as a strange infection quickly turns into pure chaos, with super-powered zombies tearing through anything (and anyone) in their way. The Ending of Marvel Zombies has everyone confused, so let us explain.
What Happens in The Ending of Marvel Zombies?
In the last battle of Marvel Zombies, the heroes try to stop zombie Scarlet Witch (also called the Red Queen) from stealing the Infinity Hulk’s powers. Hulk has all six Infinity Stones, which makes him super strong, but he’s tired and out of practice. Even though he beats zombie Thor, Wanda sneaks up on him and starts taking his power.
Does Valkyrie Die in Marvel Zombies?
Almost all of Kamala Khan’s friends are gone—Valkyrie is killed, Blade is burned, Shang-Chi is bitten, and Spider-Man and Scott Lang are about to die. With no other choice, and Wanda promising to bring everyone back, Kamala agrees to give Wanda her powers. Wanda needs Kamala’s bangles to control the Infinity Stones.
Wanda Traps Kamala in an Illusion
When their powers combine, there’s a huge blast, and Kamala wakes up in a world that looks safe and zombie-free with her friends alive. But it’s a trick—Wanda trapped her in a fake world. In reality, zombies still rule. Riri, who saved herself from turning into a zombie earlier, manages to break into the illusion and warn Kamala. She realizes too late that Wanda fooled her. The episode ends with Kamala horrified, and a scary shot of zombie Wanda’s real face.
Marvel Zombies Ending Explained
In the end, Kamala gives in and lets Scarlet Witch use her powers. A giant magical explosion shakes the world, and when it’s over, Kamala wakes up safe at home with her parents alive and her friends waiting for her. She’s super happy and thinks everything is back to normal—but it’s not.
The truth is, Wanda used Kamala’s powers to trick her. Just like in WandaVision, Wanda created a fake world to hide the real one. The zombie plague is still happening, and Kamala’s friends at Kamar-Taj are probably gone. She’s living in an illusion, while the real world is still full of zombies.
Is Riri Williams Back in Marvel Zombies?
At first, it looks like Riri Williams dies in the very first episode of Marvel Zombies, which shocks Kamala. But before the zombies can take her, Riri injects herself with something, saying, “This is not how I wanted to test this!” It seems she may have made a cure for zombie bites. She sends FRIDAY to protect Kamala while she stays behind to fight the zombies. Kamala and Blade Knight believe she’s dead, but since we never actually see her die, she might have survived and lived on until the finale.
In the last episode, Riri shows up again to warn Kamala that what she’s seeing isn’t real. While Kamala is stuck in Scarlet Witch’s fake world, Riri is still out there battling zombies, doing everything she can to break her friend free.
To Wrap it all Up
The ending of Marvel Zombies is both shocking and heartbreaking. What looks like a happy reset for Kamala is actually a cruel illusion created by Scarlet Witch. The world isn’t saved, the zombies are still out there, and Kamala is trapped in a dream while Wanda remains in control. Riri may still be fighting to save her, but the truth is clear—Marvel’s zombie universe is far from over. Instead of a hopeful victory, the finale leaves us with dread, reminding us that in this reality, not even heroes are safe from becoming monsters.
