WHAT IF? Concept Art Leak Reveals Crazy Alternate Takes On Gamora, Hulkbuster, Ultron, And More

Concept art from Marvel's What If? has started doing the rounds online revealing alternate takes on many familiar faces from the MCU, including Ultron, The Collector, and a startling version of Gamora!

Another round of concept art from an upcoming Marvel Studios project has been revealed, this time for the What If? animated series coming to Disney+. As you'll see in the Tweet embedded below, the biggest surprise here is a Gamora decked out in the armor Thanos wore in Avengers: Endgame

We also see Loki, a weird take on The Collector, and a totally new Hulkbuster (which is seemingly being piloted by Bruce Banner instead of Tony Stark...unless that's meant to be an older Steve Rogers). We're not sure what the deal is what the Ultron wearing a cape, but dang it, it's pretty darn awesome. 

This concept art was likely used as a reference for merchandise, so expect more to follow.

A brief synopsis for the series has been released by Marvel Studios which states, "'What If…?' flips the script on the MCU, reimagining famous events from the films in unexpected ways."

"Coming to Disney+ in summer 2021, Marvel Studios’ first animated series focuses on different heroes from the MCU," it continues, "featuring a voice cast that includes a host of stars who reprise their roles. The series is directed by Bryan Andrews; Ashley Bradley is head writer."

No premiere date has been set, but the animated series is scheduled for a tentative summer 2021 release. With Loki heading our way in June, we'd bet on What If? following sometime in July or August.

I do hope this show goes beyond the what if this character was this character. To me, so far, it looks like that's just the basic premise and there is no in-universe explanation for it. Hope to be wrong though.

@bkmeijer - Yeah that's what I said costume swaps and character swaps is dumb unless that character's personalty will come into play. I have no interest in seeing what Gamroa as Thanos would be like or Peggy as Cap would be like. What would be more interesting is what if Ultron had fully become Vision? What if Adam Warlock was around during Infinity War? What if Killmonger got taken to Wakanda as a child. What if T'Chaka had listened to his brother's plea and waged war on colonialism and the west? What if The Avengers couldn't get along in Avengers 1? How would the world look?

@Chaos200 - now that's some interesting questions. Especially the Ultron one (which I can actually see happen)

@Chaos200 - I wanted to see a What If Steve Rogers never went down in the ice and what if Thor was the bad guy and Loki wanted to save Jotunheim and Midgard.

@Chaos200 - This looks like Gamora as Thanos, Ultron as leader of Wakanda... looks interesting.

@JonC - As long as their personalities are the same as we know, it could lead to some interesting concepts. But I'm far more interested in the cause and effect type of "What Ifs" rather than character swaps. Like what if Cap went to see Red Skull Vorimir?

Infinity Ultron looks badass. Hope we get more James Spader Ultron content

Gamora as Thanos is interesting

And why is The Collector buff?

Gamora as Thanos. Never knew I needed that. This long break between falcon and the winter soldier and Loki is going to be excruciating.

I know i'm talking about something off topic here.

But can we have an article about Invincible, the new amazon prime show, it's utterly fantastic.

I think as an adaptation and an original property, it's better than the walking dead (written by the same author)so it deseves more articles.

I don't think i've been more hyped for a show this year than invincible, it's so much fun, so great. People need to watch this, we need more article on it.

I mean it's a show on a comic book, why is there no articles about it at all?

@calino2212 - Yes, it's reaching the point that I would rather wait for them to pile up and binge it all at once.

Hmm.. I wonder if there's a chance SOME of these might run together, similar to the MCU.

SOME.

How would Guardians be different if the Collector had muscle

What if The Collector was jacked? I'm into it.

I'm really loving that Hulkbuster. Very pretty.
