What If...? Season 3 Trailer Reveals Returning Villains, X-Men's Storm and Cowboy Shang-Chi

Our Latest show.

Marvel Animation has released the official trailer for the upcoming third and final season of What If...? The animated series explores alternate timelines and universes within the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe.


As the trailer points out, while there are only eight episodes left of What If...?, it looks like the acclaimed animated series is set to conclude on a high note, with several promising "what if" storylines teased in the trailer. Besides fun "what if" scenarios like Cowboy Shang-Chi, X-Men's Storm as the Goddess of Thunder, and a Gundam-sized Avenger, the trailer reveals that several movie villains will appear in What If...?'s final season, such as Doctor Strange's Kaecilius and Dormammu and Agatha All Along's Agatha Harkness. Check out the trailer, as well as a new poster, below.



At the time of writing, half of the Season 3 episodes remain under wraps, or at least partially shrouded in mystery. Marvel Animation has previously teased four of the final season's episodes, with one confirmed to be an Agatha Harkness-centric episode that includes a musical number. Brad Winderbaum, Marvel's Head of TV, Streaming and Animation, referred to this episode back in August as "one of my favorite episodes ever done, and it may involve the giant musical number, and she's just incredible, and we all want to see more of her [Agatha]."


Other episodes that have been revealed include a Red Guardian-centered episode that also features Bucky Barnes and Bill Foster and one that features Shang-Chi in a Western-themed setting. The episode that fans perhaps know the most about is an anime-inspired episode titled "Go-Avengers: Heroes of the Gamma War." The episode, which is heavily featured in the above trailer, will revolve around the Avengers piloting mechs to fight a horde of Mega-Hulk monsters. Characters who are confirmed to appear in the episode include Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson/Captain America and Oscar Isaac's Moon Knight, as well as Black Widow, Shang-Chi, Monica Rambeau, and Red Guardian, among others.


What If...? Spinoff Series Sets 2025 Release Date

While What If...? is ending with its third season, the series will live on with the forthcoming spinoff, Marvel Zombies, which picks up after the events of the Season 1 episode, "What If... Zombies?!" Marvel recently revealed that Marvel Zombies will premiere on Disney+ in October 2025, ahead of Halloween.
