WHAT IF...? Season 2 TV Spot Introduces A New Team Of Avengers And A Whole Host Of Deadly Foes

What If...? season 2 premieres on Disney+ tomorrow with new episodes dropping on a daily basis until the finale drops on December 30. It's an unprecedented release schedule for an MCU project, but one that may be testing the water for future small screen streaming titles. 

Today, we have a new TV spot for the animated series showcasing a version of The Avengers that looks identical to the team which first assembled in 2012...except for the fact Captain Carter has replaced Captain Britain and The Wasp is standing tall where The Hulk should be. It's an intriguing change, that's for sure. 

Elsewhere, we see a whole host of villains, including Red Skull, Erik Killmonger, Loki, and Justin Hammer. The latter will pilot the Hulkbuster for a rematch with Tony Stark fans have been waiting for since 2010's Iron Man 2. 

Marvel Studios hasn't released any casting details for What If...? season 2 (beyond who will play Kahhori) but that doesn't sound like Jon Favreau to us. It's hard to say for sure, but it would be a real shame if the actor and filmmaker hasn't returned for what will be a Happy Hogan-centric holiday episode. 

He wouldn't be the first actor not to reprise their live-action role in animation, of course, as Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. were among the most noteworthy actors absent from that first batch of episodes in 2021. 

Watch this fun new What If...? season 2 TV spot in the players below. 

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.

The series features fan-favourite characters this season like Nebula, Hela and Happy Hogan, with episodes directed by Bryan Andrews (episodes 2-9) and Stephan Franck (episode 1) and written by AC Bradley (episodes 3, 4, 5, 8), Matthew Chauncey (episodes 1-3, 7, 9) and Ryan Little (episodes 6, 8). The animated series is executive produced by Brad Winderbaum, Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Bryan Andrews and AC Bradley.

What If...? season 2 returns with a new episode debuting nightly beginning December 22.

First season for this was cute but it feels like they’re dumping this like it’s a DCEU leftover. Echo’s a pretty obvious dump too. Maybe X-Men ‘97 gets a big roll out?

@tmp3 - If D+ was permanently changing from weekly to all in one releases, it wouldn’t be concerning. But they just did Loki weekly and Percy Jackson just debuted and it will be weekly too.

Since there are some shows still releasing weekly, the ones dropping all at once do seem like they don’t have much faith in them.

Clintthahamster
Clintthahamster - 12/21/2023, 2:45 PM
@TheCoonII - I saw an article yesterday that they WEREN'T abandoning the multiverse saga, but would be telling other non-multiverse as well in the run up to Avengers 5 and 6. Was there another one?

“Marvel Studios hasn't released any casting details for What If...? season 2 (beyond who will play Kahhori)”

Think you forgot you haven’t actually posted that article on the main site, just in the pointless cartoon sister site

The first season was fantastic for the most part, really liked what they did with Doctor Strange.
GhostDog

They keep trying to make Captain Carter a thing. It was fun for a bit in season 1 but can we move on? The MoM bit was tired too.

Would kill to see Isaiah in something like this. What If he stayed Captain America

@GhostDog - Isaiah Cap in fighting in Vietnam would go so hard.

@GhostDog - A variant I've been wanting to see is a Bucky who got the shield instead of Sam. Maybe in Secret Wars.

@GhostDog - Isaiah Bradley when he was young is an adaptation waiting to happen.

Charles Dance would've been the perfect Justin Hammer. The one time where you can put in an English villain and they didn't. What a missed opportunity.

Forgot this was happening, saw a bit of the first season but none of the concepts were particularly interesting. Whole point of the What If comics was that wild and crazy stuff could happen because of a small change, but the series felt tame/bland.

Now it's just a discount multiverse Avengers series

This should’ve been done like visions for Star Wars

Different art styles + directors

This is the one opportunity where “everything is connected” shouldn’t matter if you wanna kill off the whole team do it

Didn't like the first season. Not watching this.

I liked half of season 1 with the Doctor Strange episode being the best. So hopefully I like this season more.

So another threat that potentially going to bring out the end of the multiverse. Next!

@Vigor - not sure yet I'll have a think.....if he promises to not lay a hand on women again

Replace Kang with Supreme Strange as the next MCU villain.

Just do the Snoke Maneuver and have Strange be all like “Kang was just a puppet I created to conceal my identity” type thing. It ain’t great, but I think it is easier than trying to establish another new villain off the ground
Knightrider
Knightrider - 12/21/2023, 2:21 PM
@Knightrider - The more I think about it, the more I like the idea. I can imagine a final battle where Our Strange imbues the Avengers’ weapons with magic like in Far From Home, so they can resist Stange attacks and fight back.
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 12/21/2023, 2:22 PM
@Knightrider - I'm not against your idea, but I feel there are other ways to get around it. Kang could still be it's own character, but Strange (or whoever upstages him) could just pull a He Who Remains and say he let it happen that way so that he comes out on top

The original comics were so fun because they were basically self-contained stories exploring the butterfly effect of a single event. They didn't have much interconnection, or relevance to the greater Marvel universe. This obsession with everything being interconnected really should stop.
