New images have been released by Marvel depicting screenshots of What If…? Season 3, with Sam Wilson and Monica Rambeau playing more central roles.
Marvel has wasted no time in revealing new images for What If…? Season 3 as it posted teases of what to expect, including more prominent roles for Sam Wilson and Monica Rambeau. The MCU is now halfway through its Multiverse Saga, with the multiverse very much intact after Loki’s heroic sacrifice in the Loki Season 2 finale. With that in mind, it’s no surprise that What If…? is fully indulging in the alternate timelines made possible by the new God of Stories – and some newer faces are taking center stage.
In a series of four images shared via X/Twitter, Marvel has teased that Red Guardian, Winter Soldier, and a Gundam-style Captain America Mech will be starring alongside Sam Wilson and Monica Rambeau in Season 3’s episodes. A version of Giant-Man is also seen dangling Red Guardian by his leg, though it is unclear who is behind the mask. The post also thanked viewers for watching What If…? Season 2, which earned the MCU the highest Rotten Tomatoes score of all of its releases in 2023. It’s unsurprising, then, that Marvel is capitalizing on that residual hype in early 2024.
What Else We Know About What If…? Season 3
These images aren’t the only tease that Marvel dropped recently, as the studio shared a clip for What If…? Season 3 on the same day as the Season 2 finale. In it, the Red Guardian and the Winter Soldier are seen on the run and getting into a violent car chase with the US police force. The clip shows that What If…? Season 3 will be highlighting the stars of Marvel’s Thunderbolts, which is set to release in 2025. It also demonstrates how the dynamic between these characters will be particularly entertaining.
A release date for What If…? Season 3 is yet to be announced. It is confirmed, however, that the Winter Soldier and Red Guardian episode is the only one in Season 3 that was penned by What If…? head writer A.C. Bradley, who recently announced that she is stepping down from the role. Matthew Chauncey, who wrote a slew of What If…? Episodes including What If…Ultron Won? and What If…Hela Found the Ten Rings?, will be taking over as Head Writer for Season 3.
