WHAT IF...? Season 3 Clip Shows The Mech Avengers Preparing To Battle A Giant "Apex" Kaiju

What If...? returns with its third and final season this month and the first clip from the show has just been released. In that, we see Captain America (Sam Wilson) and Monica Rambeau piloting massive Mech-Avengers.

The heroes are shown watching an "Apex" Kaiju leading an army of monsters into the ocean. A recently released promo confirmed that several of these heroic robots will assemble into a massive "Avenger" for an epic battle which feels very Power Rangers-inspired.

What If...? will be an interesting series to look back on once the Multiverse Saga ends; what was once a show meant to explore alternate realities where one decision changed everything has become an excuse to tell some pretty wacky stories. 

Still, we'd be lying to say this sneak peek isn't a lot of fun!

A handful of reactions from this launch event are circulating on social media but critics in attendance were only shown two episodes, so we'll wait until we have something a little more concrete to share with you before rounding them up. The few posts we have seen are positive, though. 

Check out this first What If...? season 3 clip in the player below. 

Watch as classic characters make unexpected choices that will mutate their worlds into spectacular alternate versions of the MCU. The Watcher (voice of Jeffrey Wright) will guide viewers as the series traverses new genres, bigger spectacles, and incredible new characters.

The series features an incredible voice cast that includes a host of stars who reprise their iconic roles. Season 3 features fan-favourite characters like Captain America/Sam Wilson, The Winter Soldier/Bucky Barnes, Hulk/Bruce Banner, The Red Guardian, Captain Peggy Carter, Agatha Harkness, Shang-Chi, Storm the Goddess of Thunder, and numerous others.

Episodes of What If...? season 3 are directed by Bryan Andrews and Stephan Franck and are written by Matthew Chauncey, Ryan Little, and A.C. Bradley.

Executive producers are Brad Winderbaum, Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt, and Bryan Andrews, with co-executive producer Matthew Chauncey, and producers Danielle Costa, Carrie Wassenaar, and Alex Scharf.

What If...? season 3 premieres on Disney+ on December 22 with a new episode daily for 8 days. You can read the full list of returning MCU cast members here.

I know I'm becoming a grumpy old man, because there was a point in time I would have loved this. Now.... I feel compelled to bitch.

@TheVandalore - Your skepticism is well founded, its not like this series is as good as the comic series its attempting to adapt.

I’m all for giant mechs but on the bigger picture, what if wasted the very concept of itself so much. It never really pushed into truly interesting “suppose this happened instead” territory

@MisterBones - First season was "ok" 2nd season lost me with Kahori. Just... stick to the source material for christs sake.
Also, only 3 things saved the first season:
1. Introduction of The Watcher
2. Marvel Zombies
3. Ultron.

That clip was fine , interested to see what those creatures are since they seem like a mix of Fing Fang Foom mixed with Abomination.

Anyway , I continue to like the animation and the voice cast seems good too…

I know this take on the What If idea & series hasn’t been for everyone but I have enjoyed it overall (some stories more then others as tends to be the case in anthologies)…

I do wish this wasn’t the end since you could play with this concept for as long as the MCU continues to grow & expand but I understand that with the Multiverse Saga ending soonish then it also makes sense to conclude this since it’s inherently tied to it.

Anyway , looking forward to this and hope they wrap it up well!!.

This is actually a pretty cool scenario.. i wish they had done more interesting concepts like this, as opposed to “what if… red guardian was at the battle of NY?!?” Like, who tf cares!!

The only S2 one i watched was what if the avengers assembled in the 80s, which i thought was pretty cool. Were there any others worth checking out?
