‘The Marvels’ Monica Rambeau and ‘Black Widow’s Red Guardian also join the fun.
This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.
Marvel Studios has revealed the first look at the third season of What If…?, a month after the second installment premiered on Disney+. The images tease some of the concepts the studio will explore once The Watcher (Jeffrey Wright) continues his journey across different realities set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Characters such as Sam Wilson’s (Anthony Mackie) Captain America and the Red Guardian (David Harbour) will make their debuts in the animated series. They weren’t seen on the show before, considering how previous seasons were in development before their live-action appearances.
The new images from the third season of What If…? show Wilson standing alongside Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris), and it remains to be seen what dangerous mission the heroes will work together on. Sam became Captain America after the events of Avengers: Endgame and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, where the character had to find the strength to take on the mantle in a world that didn’t want him as the owner of the shield. Nevertheless, Sam is ready to face the challenges that await him in the alternate reality observed by The Watcher.
The second season of What If…? continued the premise explored in the first installment, with The Watcher allowing audiences to take a look at worlds where the events of different MCU movies took a turn, with the characters involved in different outcomes than the ones seen on the big screen. The one hero who consistently appears in the series is Captain Carter (Hayley Atwell), who was given the opportunity to become a Super Soldier in her universe, instead of Steve Rogers (Chris Evans). Carter has even developed a friendship with The Watcher, helping him with missions where he can’t interfere due to his nature as an observer.
