Marvel’s What If…? Season 3: A Cheeky Dive into the Multiverse
Well folks, grab your popcorn and get ready to belt out show tunes because Marvel is strapping on its tap shoes for the upcoming third and *final* season of What If…?! That’s right, we’ve had two seasons of animated shenanigans, and now we’re about to go out in a glittery blaze of glory. Marvel is pulling out all the stops for this one, including an episode that’ll have you humming along to the beat of the ’30s – because why not throw in some jazz hands when you’re bending the fabric of the multiverse?
The Marvel Heroes Will Sing a Song
Picture it now: Captain America, in full costume, belting out a power ballad. We’re talking a musical episode that’s sure to have even the most stoic Avengers breaking out the jazz hands. Could this be a cheeky nod to Rogers: The Musical? Remember that toe-tapping tribute that graced our screens during Hawkeye and made us wonder if we were still in the Marvel universe or someone’s bizarre acid trip? I guess the writers thought, “Let’s see how far we can take this!”
A New Character Never Before Seen in the Marvel Universe
But hold on to your capes, true believers! It’s not just song and dance – there’s a brand-new character coming our way, specifically crafted for this season. Last season gave us Kahhori, a Native American heroine with powers worth marveling over (pun intended), and now we’re about to meet someone fresh, new, and probably more powerful than my morning coffee. Who knew the multiverse was so full of surprises? Clearly, it’s a lot more lively than my last family gathering, which also included a lot of unexpected characters…
The Star-Studded Cast of Season 3 of What If…?
At D23 2024, Marvel Animation announced an impressive roster of voice actors ready to reprise their roles. We’ve got the enigmatic Oscar Isaac as Marc Spector (a.k.a. Moon Knight), charming Simu Liu as Xu Shang-Chi, and the fierce Dominique Thorne coming back as Riri Williams (your new favorite Ironheart). Not to forget Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson aka Captain America and Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau, your go-to Photon expert. One does wonder, though: are they actually voicing their characters or just stealing the show as themselves?
And we can’t forget the iconic Elizabeth Olsen, who returns as the Scarlet Witch. Let’s be honest, watching her sing might just be the craziest thing we’ve seen since Loki tried to take over New York on a Saturday night. Plus, Laurence Fishburne is back as Bill Foster, reminding us all that no matter how complex the multiverse gets, sometimes it’s just about reconnecting with old friends… or frenemies!
Lastly, the ever-so-cool Jeffrey Wright will return to lend his soothing tones to Uatu, the Watcher. Seriously, if he narrated a grocery list it would sound profound. Get ready for an animated extravaganza that promises to zig-zag through the multiverse while keeping you entertained… and perhaps a bit confused at times, but that’s all part of the fun, isn’t it?
So there you have it, folks! Season 3 of What If…? is coming soon to Disney+. Get your tissues ready; it’s either going to be a nostalgia trip or a full-blown existential crisis. Most likely both!
