As promised, Marvel Studios has released the first trailer for Marvel Animation's What If...? season 3. It's also been confirmed today that, when the show returns to Disney+ on December 22, we're getting new a instalment daily for eight days. 

Season 3 will be the show's last batch of episodes, and it's said fans will, "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.

Yes, you read that correctly: What If...? season 3 will feature the debut of Storm, Goddess of Thunder and she shows up at the end of this sneak peek voiced by X-Men: The Animated Series and X-Men '97 star Alison Sealy-Smith. 

There's heaps of epic action to be found here, including a mech-Avenger and surprise appearances from characters like Moon Knight and White Vision alongside returning Multiversal fan-favourites, Captain Carter and Kahhori. 

Will What If...?'s final season set the stage for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars? Given when these episodes were produced and the fact those movies are being written, we doubt it. Characters from the show could, however, still appear in them. 

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.

Check out the new trailer and poster below.

@Vigor - Hearing her voice got me. It's her, it's X-Men/X-Men '97's Alison Sealy-Smith.

I'm down, as long as it's a daily release again. Not expecting much though.

These "What If" scenarios have been fairly tame when it comes to the overall potential of storytelling that they could have had.

They've been alright overall, but felt to be playing it too safe or going in narrative tangents nobody cared for.

Let's just get the Multiverse wrapped up already.

@xfan320 - This one looks more multiversey, but I'll reserve judgment until I actually see it.

Still, Storm from X-Men '97 is promising. I'd love it if this was the big multiverse thing but for Marvel animation. The Deadpool & Wolverine/ NWH of Marvel cartoons.

MechAvenger and Storm as Goddess of Thunder are cool as [frick], but I don't really get what makes this What If. Especially the latter should've just been saved for the Sacred Timeline imo.

Way more impactful than getting Halle Berry to voice her again, but I wouldn’t mind if we get her back alongside Hugh Wolvie, Kelsey Grammar Beast, and Patrick Stewart Prof X in Secret wars

@JFerguson - I was hoping they went and got Angela for a one and done, but you can't be disappointed with the OG.

Love how good the Photon costume looks with the helmet, the Avengers Mech just looks badass.

Might be the best season yet, their animation has become more "fluid".

Yeah didn't look good to me, Storm was the only good thing to come out of this trailer.

I love this show. The art style and animation make Creature Commandos look like a low budget seizure maker

@ProfessorWhy - is creature commando out?

@ProfessorWhy - ....yet it somehow comes off as sub-par. Disney could've done better, and they didn't. I've seen more expression on department store mannequins. Also, pretty dumb to only stick to the MCU instead of the entire Marvel catalog they now own.

These What If seasons remind me of what I loved about comic books as a kid, as did the initial phase of Marvel movies. I wish they would just keep making them.

@Rosraf - DC Elseworld stories were some of favorites, I wish they would do more, love to see a different interpretations of people and worlds we are accustomed to.

@grif - This version of Uatu is. Insert everyone saying it doesn't matter and not essential to the character for just answering your question.

So, wait- you've got giant mechs piloted by Avengers who then combine into a super mech a la Voltron/Transformers? Are you f**king kidding me?!? And it looks like they're fighting a kanji?!?!? I'm there just for that episode alone, even if the rest sucks, which at least by the looks of this trailer won't be the case.

Christmas can't come soon enough. I'll be watching this wearing my Spider-Man onesy and sipping scotch while my kids are off setting the house on fire or something I don't care 😉.

I couldnt get through S2 and this has even more characters I don't care about. I like Storm but I think I'll sit this one out.
