With an Ultron powered by the Infinity Stones tearing his way through the Multiverse, The Watcher chose to break his oath in the season finale of What If...? by bringing together a group of heroes (and the odd villain). The "Guardians of the Multiverse" was made up of Captain Carter, Doctor Strange Supreme, Star-Lord, Party Thor, Black Widow, Killmonger, and Gamora.
They made for a formidable team, and one we could see assemble in some form again down the line. It's definitely hard to imagine we've seen the last of these characters, something director Bryan Andrews and Head Writer A.C. Bradley hinted at during a recent interview with Variety.
"I would wager it’s a relatively safe bet," the former laughed when asked if we'll see more of Captain America. Bradley, meanwhile, added: "For me, the difference between a twist ending that we were doing all season and a post-credits teaser is that a twist ending is fun, but a post-credits teaser is a promise." In other words, that stinger is going to be followed up on.
While this poster for What If...? mostly reuses previously seen character banners, it makes for a cool piece of imagery. We can only hope they one day make their live-action debut in the MCU, of course.
A TV spot has also been released for What If...?, featuring footage from the finale and hyping up the fact that all 9 episodes of Marvel Studios' first animated series are now streaming on Disney+.
Check out that, and the new poster, below:
