What If…? Season 3 Trailer

This year, on December 22, the third and final season of Marvel’s What If…? will drop. Fans will return to the Multiverse in stunning new visions of what could have been across various timelines and realities. Captain Carter and Kahhori will return, and it also looks like the Avengers will be fighting in sync using mecha suits. But the biggest reveal of the TV series’ official trailer is the Weather Goddess herself, Storm.

Alison Sealy-Smith will return to voice Ororo Munroe, AKA Storm, who appears to be in a storyline where she wields Mjolnir, Thor’s iconic weapon. Storm first took up the Thunder God mantle in X-Men Annual #9 (1985). In the comic, her mighty weapon was called Stormcaster. While the larger impact this appearance may have on the MCU is unknown, it’s major news for mutant fans!

Down on the street levels, two fan-favorite characters will also be hitting the screens next year. Audiences received special looks at both the animated Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and the live-action Daredevil: Born Again. Spidey will swing onto screens January 29, 2025 while Matt Murdock will face Wilson Fisk’s rise in power on March 4, 2025.
