Christmas is coming early for Marvel fans. What If...? is returning for its third and final season, with daily episodes dropping from December 22 until Christmas Day, just as it did in 2023. But that’s not the only gift in store from the animated anthology, as the new season will feature two new additions to the MCU. According to Matt Chauncey, Head of Story for What If Season 3, one character is well-known to Marvel aficionados, and their cameo will mark their “long-anticipated MCU debut.”
When Chauncey teased the reveal at this year’s LightBox Expo, many fans guessed the character would be a member of the X-Men or Fantastic Four. They didn’t need to wait long for confirmation: Marvel dropped the official Season 3 trailer at the D23 convention, introducing fresh takes on characters like Agatha Harkness, Shang-Chi, and the X-Men’s most powerful team member, Storm. She can be seen in the final moments of the trailer, and here, she’s more than just an X-Man, but apparently her universe’s version of Thor.
