WHAT IF...? Season 3 Trailer Sees Storm Wield Mjolnir As SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME Villain Mysterio Returns

A new trailer for What If...? season 3 has just been released and it features a new look at several exciting Variants, including a Mjolnir-wielding Storm, Mysterio, a Mech Avenger, and much more...

The third and final season of What If...? is fast approaching, and Marvel Studios has just shared a new teaser offering a better idea of what's to come later this month.

While a lot of this preview is devoted to previous episodes - as a way of encouraging fans to go back and watch them - we also see plenty of intriguing season 3 footage. That includes Storm wielding Thor's hammer Mjolnir, the return of Mysterio, and Red Guardian assembling alongside The Avengers. 

We still don't know whether What If...? will finally tie into the wider Multiverse Saga with this final season, though we'd imagine Marvel Animation will do something to at least tease what's to come in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Well, hopefully.

"What If...? season 3 feels like the completion of a trilogy," Marvel Studios' Head of Marvel Streaming, Television and Animation, Brad Winderbaum, recently revealed. "It takes us to places you'd never expect."

"It goes beyond the first two seasons in its exploration of the Multiverse and it pulls in characters that are very unexpected," he teased. "It has what I think is an extremely moving and fulfilling culmination for Uatu, The Watcher." 

Check out this new teaser for What If...? season 3 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've enjoyed the first two seasons but I really wish they could have just kept things simple with the initial concept, which was "what if" and each of the MCU films would have had a different spin. Rather than what we've got with the "Guardians of the Multiverse"

@HagridsHole1 - agreed. It pretty much turned into the Captain Carter show. MechAvenger looks cool though, can't deny I don't wanna see that too

The scene of the Gundam assembling and how it even inserted in it's arm some giant versions of Shang-Chi's rings was epic. :D

@NinnesMBC - yeah though I wonder what change there has happened lolw

@TheVisionary25 - Ah right, certain "Nexus Events" have to not take place in order for these realities to be re-shaped.

I guess Howard Stark lived and he and Tony discovered they shared an interest in giant mechas and saw many animes like Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann, Gundan Wing etc.

@NinnesMBC - lol, that would be something

I do like there has been a gradual increase in the What If stories as they have gotten crazier as the show has progressed I feel to an extent.

@TheVisionary25 - Honestly I wished they kept doing more Seasons, they'll be more material to cover once the X-Men appear. Even if we have to wait for more because animation can take more time.

@NinnesMBC - same

I know the head of Marvel TV said that it’s ending due to bigger MCU reasons which makes me think it’s due to the Multiverse Saga ending but he has said they are open to more in the future so fingers crossed!!.

@NinnesMBC - There was the original Human Torch at the fair in First Avenger so what if someone got that thing to work would probably do it tbh as someone having made the first fully functioning AI Android back in the 40's and what that could lead to.

That and if the Winter Soldier hadn't killed Howard obv would change things a lot with the path Tony went down and the tech advances he came up with when.

There is a simpler case to be made that if Tony settled down and got married with a kid at a younger age, or even hadn't settled down but ended up having to take on the responsibility as a parent in a number of differing ways. That kid could watch one of those old animations or shows with those sort of things and asked his/her Dad if he could make it then. The first power rangers was in the 90's about fifteen years before Tony became Iron Man after all and RDJ in his thirties back then? So he almost could have easily been father to a ten year old child when that aired IRL so which could result in him developing that tech to that point by now with What If comic book logic esp if in a World where there was that something akin to the WWII power armor for Rogers...

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!!.

@TheVisionary25 - think it would’ve had more legs to continue if they didn’t try to make it a hard set story based series. Limited itself imo once you do that

I hope they start what if-ing the crap stuff like thor 4, antman 3 and secret invasion. I am sure they can make them better in 20mins.

Still hate that animation. It looks AI.

@JustAWaffle - funny I was just thinking how much I love the animation style I could see what you mean about it having an AI look though. I never thought that but also hate AI “art”

Feels like they are finally reaching the full potential of the multiverse in this show, and now they are ending it.

@HeavyMetal4Life - Secret Wars will be the full potential of the Multiverse.

More this series has went on, more it feels like Exiles rather than What if?.

It's hard to care about this animated twaddle while we keep hoping the next MCU movie will stop the live action bleeding.

Looks better than I was expecting. May actually watch season 2

Can they [frick]ing make ANYTHING that doesn't feel like leftovers?

I give ZERO [frick]s about Sharon Carter at this point and I actually liked the show and she was great in CATFA but goddamn.

The MCU tit is officially out of milk.

@Batmangina - are you watching the show or just posting comments. cause if you was watching the show you would know there are characters are part of the bigger continuing story line aka captain carter outside of the one off what if scenarios. there is a bigger story that runs through all the one off tales.
Batmangina
Batmangina - 12/9/2024, 2:38 PM
@supermanrex - I watched S1 and most of S2 and it's gotten worse.

It was cute to have Panther Lord of the Galaxy or whatever for 30 minutes but it's not good.

It's benefitting from everything else being total [frick]ing garbage, so it looks great by default.

Season 1 was such a letdown I didn't even watch season 2 and won't watch this. They could've made the show great if it was like the comics. But they made it into promos for more crap and more multiverse garbage.

I miss when Marvel wasn't owned by Disney. There is an entire Marvel universe 85-ish years old they could pull from, with thousands of characters to use and they only play with the last decade n a half worth of characters and stories. It'd mean something too if Disney didn't go all-in on digital/cgi animation. They used to be the pinnacle of hand drawn talent, now we get a "What If" series that looks like slightly more emotive "Team America" marionettes. But, after seeing how they've gang raped Star Wars, I shouldn't be surprised.

@J0RELLC00LJ - I mean Disney didn’t own marvel for like 3 of the MCU movies lol so I have to assume you mean comics?
