Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas! It’s like a bounty of gifts for fans of Marvel’s What If…? animated series! Not only did we learn recently that season 3 of the Multiverse-spanning show is already in the works, but today brings a brand new trailer. It arrives with season 2 right around the corner, set to hit Disney+ on December 22nd.
“There are infinite stories to be told across the Multiverse”, says Jeffrey Wright’s Uatu the Watcher.
In this case, the stories seem to be holiday-themed, or at least this footage certainly is. But the season will once again span the entire Multiverse to present tales with unique twists on our favorite MCU heroes, with many of the original actors returning to voice their characters. There’s a lot to listen out for here, too, like Sam Rockwell returning as Iron Man 2 villain Justin Hammer, and Kat Dennings as Darcy Lewis. We also get a gun-toting Howard the Duck and that’s just cool no matter who voices him. We also see the return of Captain Carter, voiced by Hayley Atwell.
Loki fans will also want to check out a new look at the Yggdrasil the World Tree, protected by the god of mischief at the end of Loki season two, which is now decked out with Christmas lights. Awwwww.
With some of the What If…? characters crossing over into the live-action MCU, this show is more crucial to watch than ever. It’s not just some throwaway anthology to be ignored.
Here’s the synopsis followed by the new trailer:
With a new episode debuting nightly beginning Dec. 22, season two of “What If…?” continues the journey as The Watcher guides viewers through the vast multiverse, introducing brand new and familiar faces throughout the MCU. The series questions, revisits and twists classic Marvel Cinematic moments with an incredible voice cast that includes a host of stars who reprise their iconic roles.
