WHAT IF? Character Posters For Wednesday's Episode Feature Familiar Versions Of Nick Fury And Black Widow

Marvel Studios has released two new character posters for Wednesday's episode of What If...?, and it looks an awful lot like we'll be revisiting the events of a key Phase 1 movie. Check them out here...

So far in What If...?, we've seen what would happen if Peggy Carter had taken the Super Soldier Serum instead of Steve Rogers, and followed T'Challa as he became Star-Lord in place of Peter Quill. 

This Wednesday's instalment, however, looks set to revisit Phase 1 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in what's become known as "Nick Fury's Big Week." That was the period S.H.I.E.L.D. had to deal with The Hulk's return, Thor's arrival on Earth, and Tony Stark's refusals to sign up for the Avengers Initiative in Iron Man 2 (Captain America would be discovered a little while later). 

The first three episodes of What If...? were screened for critics, but we won't say much more than that for now as it's a lot of fun to see what proves to be a surprisingly weird story play out. 

In the meantime, Marvel Studios has dropped a couple of character posters putting the spotlight on Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Black Widow (Lake Bell). As you can see, they don't look much different to the versions of the S.H.I.E.L.D. duo we saw back in 2010, but their respective stories are bound to unfold in unexpected ways as we visit another alternate reality. 

You can check out our review of What If...? by clicking here. We concluded by saying: "An instant animated classic, What If...? delivers world after world of endless possibilities you need to explore, and if what we see from these first three chapters is any indication, Marvel Studios has delivered a mind-bending MCU masterpiece."

Check out these new posters for What If...? below:

So is it just Fury's Big Week or is it more than just what if these off-screen events happened on screen? Because if it's the former, I could just read the tie-in comic (if that's still canon)

@bkmeijer - Seems like it's "Fury's Big Week' but if something went incredibly wrong during that week (methinks Iron Man or some other Avenger dies)

@OmegaDaGrodd - or Iron Man is recruited right away instead of being brought on as a consultant, leading to him getting involved with Thor and Hulk

Lake Bell is great as Poison Ivy on HQ. She'll be perfect for Black Widow

Iron Man 2 Widow is genuinely my favourite look for her. The most I would have changed is maybe make the suit black. I liked how she was simple in that she just fought hand-to-hand, used a zip wire and some small shock gadgets. I don’t think Widow ever needed a more complicated outfit or weapons

@MikeyL - same. Iron Man 2 Widow may have been objectified a bit much (to put it mildly) but I loved her action scene. I wish we could have seen more scenes like that in the MCU (haven't seen her movie yet so I guess I can't really judge)

@PapaSpank54 - I just truly wished we could have had more of spy/agent Black Widow rather than superhero Black Widow. Winter Soldier portrayed her amazingly. My dream Widow incarnation would be Winter Soldier’s story/acting/development/characterisation with the Iron Man 2 look, gadgets and equipment

I hope this episode is just like "Baby's Day Out" but with Fury.

The posters don't give too much away but that is also what makes this exciting and intriguing to check out.
