Marvel’s What If…? is coming back for a third season. The studio announced the renewal of the series for a third season by dropping a new teaser.
Marvel released the new trailer just ahead of the season finale for What If…? Season 2. The three-minute video gives its extremely satisfied fans a sneak peek at what’s coming next for the highly-rated animated anthology series on Disney+.
The new trailer for the upcoming season features Marvel characters Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ranger Morales, and Bill Foster. The studio has not released the official title of the episode but a recent rumor suggests that it will be called “What If… Red Guardians Stopped the Winter Soldier?” The rumored title does seem to match up pretty well with the teaser video.
In the video, we see a variant of Red Guardian and Bucky Barnes aka Winter Soldier as they drive through America. The pair is stopped at a checkpoint by Bill Foster, who suspects that something fishy is going on. Barnes pulls out a gun on Foster and Red Guardian speeds off resulting in a high-speed chase. The pair of super soldiers elude capture at the end of the trailer with Red Guardian laughing as he drives through a corn field.
Sebastian Stan and David Harbour will be reprising their roles as Winter Soldier and Red Guardian in the upcoming season. Laurence Fishburne is also expected to return as Bill Foster for Season 3 along with Jeffrey Wright as the Watcher.
Marvel has not yet revealed when the new season will arrive, simply teasing that the next batch of episodes will be “streaming soon.” Given that Marvel released a trailer just as the current season ends, it is highly plausible that the next installment may be out by 2024. We expect the series to premiere towards the end of the year, joining the first season of Echo and Deadpool 3.
Director Bryan Andrews previously teased that the upcoming seasons of the anthology series will get wackier. The director also shared his excitement about the upcoming season saying that he can’t wait for fans to see the cool stuff they have prepared.
“We can expand out and things can get a little bit wackier,” Andrews said in an interview with Deadline. “We take it up a notch in Season 2 and then in Season 3 we just go even wackier. In Season 2, we have different characters that we haven’t really got a chance to play with before and we see how they’ll integrate with some of the favorites that come back. There’s lots of really cool stuff and I can’t wait for people to see it.”
Marvel’s What If…? can be streamed exclusively on Disney+.
