Jan 22, 2024 9:12 PM

Marvel fans can look forward to another dose of alternate universe shenanigans, as new images from "What If...?" Season 3 have been revealed by Marvel Entertainment. The animated series, which poses hypothetical scenarios within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), has been captivating audiences since its debut on Disney+ in 2021. These freshly released stills hint at various character-centric stories, such as potential team-ups and curious crossovers, including the standout appearance of a Captain America mech. Season 2 of "What If...?" made an impression with episodes infused with different styles and themes, one being likened to "Blade Runner". In addition to the upcoming third season, viewers can also anticipate a spinoff series titled "Marvel Zombies". As "What If...?" continues to delve into these imaginative realities, the Marvel animated universe seems to grow ever more intricate and entertaining.

When did "What If...?" originally premiere on Disney+, and how have audiences received it?

"What If...?" premiered on August 11, 2021, on Disney+, receiving positive responses for its creative storytelling and engaging animation that explores alternative timelines in the MCU.

"What If...?" has become a notable addition to the MCU for its unique concept of exploring alternative storylines to major Marvel events. The series is produced by Marvel Studios, with head writer and showrunner A.C. Bradley emphasizing its connection to the rest of the Marvel narrative. The animated format allows for the exploration of scenarios that live-action adaptations may not be able to, such as Peggy Carter taking the super-soldier serum instead of Steve Rogers, or T'Challa becoming Star-Lord instead of Black Panther. As a pivotal part of the MCU's Phase Four, the show not only offers fans a window into vast narrative possibilities but also deepens their engagement with the familiar characters they've come to love in new and unexpected ways.

As a fan of Marvel's grand storytelling, the latest images from What If... Season 3 have got my hype levels through the roof; the exploration of endless possibilities in the MCU feels both refreshing and deeply engaging. It's like Marvel is giving us an all-access backstage pass to a multiverse of what-could-have-beens, and honestly, I can't wait to see how wild and creative they'll get with these fresh narratives, especially with the tease of Marvel Zombies on the horizon.
