Spinning out of the original Ultimate Universe, the firstMarvel Zombiesseries, written byThe Walking Dead’s Robert Kirkman and illustrated by Sean Phillips, depicted the alternate world of Earth-2149 after it fell to ruin when a virus ravaged most of its superhero population. Reimagining traditional zombie lore by allowing those infected to retain their intelligence and powers,Marvel Zombies, since its inception in 2005, has released nearly ten miniseries, a slew of one-shots and specials, and an upcoming animated television show,making this Gambit cosplay the best way to tide fans over untilmoreMarvel Zombiescontentis available.
Sharing two different looks of Aye Em’s cosplay in the same post, the first image sees Gambit framed up close as he flashes a flesh-stripped skeletal grin, withhis toothy smile creepily selling Remy’s undead design while simultaneously showing Gambit’s body decaying right before our very eyes. Looking ravenous but still ready for a fight in the second image, fans get a full-body view of Aye Em’s cosplay design here that highlights Gambit’s battle-worn and zombie-ravaged outfit, with Aye Em holdingGambit’s signature staff weaponhigh in the air, its pent-up energy no doubt reserved for Zombie Gambit’s next victim.

As a bonus, both images of this post add a pint-sized Zombie Ant-Man, cosplayed to perfection by Haunted Cosplay (@hauntedcosplay), on the shoulder of and alongside Aye Em’s Gambit, leaving fans wonderingwhat kind of team-up attack an undead Remy and Ant-Man could unleash while on their never-ending crusade for flesh. Although its animated series is only a few months away, there are no newMarvel Zombiescomics currently announced, with Aye Em Bonesie’s (@zombonezie)Gambitcosplay showing that if theX-Menever becameflesh-eating monsters in the MCU, the filmmakers need look no further for the perfect visual inspiration.
