Synopsis of What If...?

What If...? is an animated anthology series created by A.C. Bradley for Disney+, narrated by Jeffrey Wright. Its starting point is the multiverse that opens at the end of the first season of Loki. A Watcher, a member of an alien race that observes the universe, travels through alternate timelines in which key moments of the Marvel Cinematic Universe unfold differently. Their task is to watch, narrate each story and record how events change when a piece of the past is altered. Each episode begins with a specific twist and follows its consequences in a world of its own. Many actors from the films reprise their roles, although some characters have new voices. The tone of each story can be darker or lighter than the films it draws from.

Trivia about What If...?

The Watcher is inspired by Rod Serling's role in The Twilight Zone, according to the series. Jeffrey Wright plays him as a narrator who observes the action from the outside.
Wright did not want the character to sound like an old-fashioned Englishman, so he chose a contemporary American accent for the Watcher.
One of the ideas Marvel asked Bradley to explore was what would happen if a team of Avengers from the 1980s formed after a young Peter Quill returned to Earth. That concept became an episode of the second season.
The series' flat-shaded visual style was developed with the help of Ryan Meinerding and aims to reflect the films by drawing on classic illustrators.
The main theme's opening melody features a French horn, and Laura Karpman sings in the background as a nod to the sixties science fiction film scores.
The third season was announced as the series' last and premiered on December 22, 2024, with a new episode each day for eight days.
What If...? won a Primetime Emmy and has four awards and 19 nominations in total, according to IMDb records.
Director Bryan Andrews said the ending could be a pause and left the door open to a return, although Marvel had not announced a fourth season or spin-offs.
