Today's episode of What If...? rivals the second instalment (featuring Chadwick Boseman as a T'Challa who became Star-Lord) as the show's best yet. Asking the question "What If Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead of His Hands?", we picked up with a Stephen Strange desperate to change his timeline after the death of Christine Palmer.
That took him to some dark places, and Marvel Studios enlisted an all-star cast for this retelling of 2016's Doctor Strange. As a result, we have no actors who were actually re-cast this time!
Instead, Benedict Cumberbatch returned as Doctor Strange, while Rachel McAdams (Christine Palmer), Benedict Wong (Wong), Tilda Swinton (The Ancient One), and even Leslie Bibb (Christine Everhart) all also made their respective presences felt. The only new addition was Ike Amadi (Mortal Kombat Legacy: Battle of the Realms) as a character called O'Bengh.
In terms of additional voices, veteran voice actors Chuck Billy, Robin Atkin Downes, and Fred Tatasciore could all also be heard, though we don't know exactly who they were playing here.
It certainly made a difference having all these familiar voices from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the strong level of storytelling on display ensured that this was a truly great 35 minutes of TV!
