Marvel Studios Animation has grown into something really special, and the show that started the Marvel Studios off-shoot had a big presence at D23 withWhat If…?Season 3. For a third and reportedly final season, The Watcher (Jeffrey Wright) will take viewers on a tour through the Marvel Multiverse, showcasing versions of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s massive cast of characters in ways that you’ve never seen them before. Whether it be a universe where Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) gets the super soldier serum instead of Steve Rodgers (Josh Keaton) or one where Nebula (Karen Gillan) solves a murder mystery on Nova Prime, the Multiverse is packed to the brim with diverse and exciting stories.
At D23, fans at the Marvel Animation panel got a new sneak peek at Season 3. The footage featured a look at the “Heroes of the Gamma War,” with Falcon, Red Guardian, Shang-Chi, Spectrum and Moon Knight piloting mech suits.
