It is once again time for Marvel’s superheroic What If…? advent calendar. Next month, the wackily punctuated series returns to play out some multiversal scenarios that would never be allowed to happen in the main Marvel timeline, from cowboy Shang-Chi to Storm, the Goddess of Thunder, to one big mecha Avenger that, yes, gives new meaning to “assemble.”
The third and final season also features Agatha Harkness, Captain America, Bucky Barnes, the Red Guardian, the Hulk, Captain Peggy Carter, Howard the Duck, Darcy Lewis, Moon Knight, Valkyrie, Nebula, at least one Celestial, and ever so many more. As ever, Jeffrey Wright leads the proceedings as The Watcher. A press release says, “The series features an incredible voice cast that includes a host of stars who reprise their iconic roles,” but doesn’t actually specify which actors are voicing their cinematic or small screen characters—though it’s pretty clearly Kat Dennings as Darcy, Oscar Isaac as Moon Knight, Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson, and the iconic voice of Alison Sealy-Smith as Storm.
What If…? is written by Matthew Chauncey, Ryan Little, and A.C. Bradley; the episodes are directed by Bryan Andrews and Stephan Franck. Eight new episodes arrive daily on Disney+ starting December 22nd.
