Marvel knows how to mess with our minds, and the brand-new trailer for What If...? Season 3 is here as a reminder that the multiverse is fertile ground for crazy ideas, epic visuals, and stories that challenge everything we thought we knew.
The Watcher is back. More enigmatic and dramatic than ever. And, yeah—it seems that things are about to get wild again.
But here's the brilliant detail: the trailer shows more of what is to come while challenging us to watch (or rewatch) previous seasons, as if saying, "You thought you understood everything? Ha! Try again." Because in the world of What If...?, every choice matters and nothing is what it seems.
It's Marvel being Marvel—and we're here for it.
What makes Marvel's What If...? so special?
Since its debut on Disney+, What If...? has been a love letter to MCU fans who like to ask "what if?". But not in a casual sense, like "What if I ordered pizza instead of a burger?". No, here it's "What if Peggy Carter had taken the super soldier serum?" or "What if T'Challa had been kidnapped by Yondu?".
Simple choices that result in entire universes—and sometimes apocalyptic consequences. Because, of course, this is Marvel, and destruction is almost a hobby for them.
What if the impossible was just the starting point?
What If...? is a series that goes beyond hypothetical scenarios. Each episode is a love letter to the beauty of unpredictability, a celebration of stories that reshape everything we think we know about beloved characters—challenging the very core of their identities.
Who are these heroes and villains when thrown into entirely different circumstances? That’s the magic of What If...?. And, as the third (and final) season’s trailer teases, that magic is about to get even more chaotic.
What does the trailer deliver for the third season?
We already know some of the wild directions this season is taking, and the new trailer only adds to the anticipation.
Storm-wielding Mjolnir? Check. It’s a moment so powerful that it already feels iconic. Then there’s the mecha-style Avengers episode, where the team pilots giant suits that combine into one colossal robot in Go-Avengers: Heroes of the Gamma War, an homage to Voltron and classic anime.
The settings get even wilder with Shang-Chi and Kate Bishop taking on a Western adventure, and Agatha Harkness—the witch we love to hate—dazzling in a full-blown musical number.
Familiar faces like Moon Knight, Red Guardian, Monica Rambeau, and Shuri will be there too, with promises of connections and surprises at every turn.
And now, with the new trailer, there’s even more to unravel—and some moments to revisit. A glimpse of Thor as Santa Claus? Yes. And it teases an episode that seems equal parts absurd and amazing. What’s to come next?
That’s something the new trailer can show glimpses of, but only the much-awaited final episodes of the series can answer. Marvel knows how to give just enough to make us crazy for more.
Why revisit the previous seasons?
Because What If...? thrives on layers. A rewatch is more about picking up on the subtle choices and echoes that ripple across the multiverse than merely reliving the action.
With the series approaching its final chapters, what at first might have seemed like a throwaway moment could hold the key to unraveling mysteries—or the very fabric of the multiverse itself.
Revisiting these episodes is like putting together a massive, intricate puzzle, in which each piece connects to another to reveal nuances that deepen the overall narrative. Plus, let’s face it—who wouldn’t want to experience T’Challa as Star-Lord again or relive the epic showdown with the Guardians of the Multiverse?
The countdown has begun
The third season of Marvel's animated series What If...? is set to launch on December 22, promising another wild ride through alternate Marvel universes. If past seasons have taught us anything, it's that the multiverse has no real boundaries.
This season looks set to continue that tradition with mind-bending premises, striking visuals, and the promise of even more surprising adventures.
Whether you're a hardcore Marvel enthusiast or just enjoy imaginative storytelling, What If...? offers something unique. It's the kind of creative storytelling that keeps Marvel fans excited and coming back for more.
