Today's episode of What If...? proved to be something of a mixed bag, with the weird Iron Man/Black Panther mashup struggling to hit the mark in a variety of ways. Coincidentally, the cast was similarly hit and miss, with a combination of returning MCU veterans and new additions to this shared world.
Michael B. Jordan stole the show as Erik Killmonger, while he was joined by Jon Favreau (Happy Hogan), Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther), Angela Bassett (Queen Ramonda), Danai Gurira (Okoye), Andy Serkis (Ulysses Klaue), Don Cheadle (Rhodey), Paul Bettany (Jarvis), Leslie Bibb (Christine Everhart), and John Kani (T'Chaka).
As for the replacements for actors Marvel Studios was unable to bring back for What If...?, we had Mick Wingert reprising his role as Tony Stark, with Kiff Vandenheuval playing Obidiah Stane, Beth Hoyt filling in as Pepper Potts, Mike McGill back as General Ross, and Ozioma Akagha as a young Shuri.
It also sounded like John Oliver had an uncredited voice cameo as a British journalist.
It's still a little difficult to embrace these characters with soundalike voice actors, especially when some are better than others. However, a lot of MCU talent was enlisted, and we're certainly not going to complain about getting to hear more of Boseman's work as T'Challa, even in a fairly minor role.
What did you guys think of this week's What If...? voice cast?
