The Marvel Cinematic Universe spans both film and television. Of course, most of these television ventures have been of the live-action variety. For many fans, however, it’s the animated series What If…? that captured their imagination the most. Now, as revealed in an all-new trailer, What If…? Season 2 aims to do the same.
The animated series explores the possibilities within the MCU’s Multiverse. And, given that the current MCU phases are set in the “Multiverse Saga,” it’s been a great way to better connect what’s been happening between films and shows. Especially as they begin to take more and more influence from the variant characters and timelines depicted in this animated series.
Here’s the official trailer for What If…? Season 2:
It’s definitely an exciting tease for what’s to come. Especially knowing that the Multiverse Saga will no doubt be taking inspiration from this series and vice versa as it continues forward.
The cast of the new season will include the return of Jeffrey Wright as the show’s narrator, aka the Watcher. The cast of the show’s first season featured a number of new cast members and several members of the live-action franchise, including Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange Supreme, Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter aka Captain Carter, Lake Bell as Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow, Chadwick Boseman as Star-Lord T’Challa, Michael B. Jordan as Killmonger, and Chris Hemsworth as Thor.
Naturally, it’ll be exciting to see who we can expect to star in this new season. Of course, if the new footage is any indication, we can expect both newcomers and familiar faces.
Fans will be able to stream the new season of What If…? via Disney Plus on December 22. Every episode will be released each day for nine consecutive days.
