Marvel's What If...? season 3 release date and latest news

The new episodes will see stories following up on some of its more recent titles such as Agatha All Along and Eternals, while the confusingly titled series finale, What If... What If? is sure to bring things to a close in style.

The eight new episodes will of course see Jeffrey Wright return as the show's narrator, The Watcher, while we're also expecting characters such as Hayley Atwell's Captain Carter and Devery Jacobs's Kahhori to play major roles.

Head of Marvel Television and Animation Brad Winderbaum has told The Hollywood Reporter that the show ending now makes sense when seen in the wider context of where the MCU is heading.

He said: "What If…? has always tied into the greater MCU and the Multiverse Saga. And for reasons that will become clear in the next couple of years, this was the right time to culminate the series from a story perspective."

He also said of the season when speaking on The Official Marvel Podcast: "What If…? season 3 feels like the completion of a trilogy. It takes us to places you’d never expect.

"It goes beyond the first two seasons in its exploration of the Multiverse and it pulls in characters that are very unexpected. It has what I think is an extremely moving and fulfilling culmination for Uatu, The Watcher."

Who will be in the cast of Marvel's What If...? season 3?

As with previous seasons, What If...? season 3 is expected to see a number of major stars from the MCU reprising their roles, including Hayley Atwell, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Mark Ruffalo, Kathryn Hahn, Samuel L. Jackson and many more.

Jeffrey Wright will also be back as Uatu the Watcher, while Devery Jacobs will be returning as her season 2 character Kahhori.

Meanwhile, new stars joining the show, and the MCU, for season 3 include America Ferrera, Jason Isaacs, Natasha Lyonne, Allen Deng, DC Douglas, and Darin De Paul, with Lyonne playing new character Byrdie and Ferrara playing another new character, Ranger Morales.
