1st Look: Marvel Studios’ “What If …” Trailer

What If it was Peggy Carter who got the supersoldier serum instead of Steve Rogers?
What If Tony Stark was rescued from having a bomb explode near him in the desert by another superpowered hero, and never became Iron Man?
What if Yondu fought shoulder to shoulder with Black Panther?
What If the Avengers all became zombies?

One of the most intriguing titles Marvel has ever run is the venerable What If … series, which examines how the iconic stories of Marvel’s iconic characters would change if something important in their origin stories were altered. The new series on Disney+ is animated, and takes on some of the best stories the What If … title has to offer – including some new ones.

The series doesn’t skimp on original actor’s voices, either. With 23 films and counting in the MCU, there are a lot of original voices to choose from, and the series boasts the return of the following actors reprising their Marvel Comics movie roles:

Jeffrey Wright as The Watcher 10 episodes • 2021	Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter 1 episode • 2021
Josh Brolin as Thanos 1 episode • 2021	Dominic Cooper as Howard Stark 1 episode • 2021

Toby Jones as Arnim Zola 1 episode • 2021	Michael B. Jordan as Erik Killmonger 1 ep
Neal McDonough as Dum Dum Dugan 1 episode • 2021	Natalie Portman as Jane Foster 1 episode • 2021

This is pretty thrilling stuff. If you love Marvel Comics, you’ll love this. The whole thing kicks off on Disney+ starting August 11, 2021.
