'What If...?' season 3 trailer

What have "What If" season 3's creators said about the show?

Those behind "What If..." season 3 are really excited about the final season of this show.

Writer/director Bryan Andrews said: “This series stands out from all the other Marvel animated shows on Disney Plus because it was the first. It was the trailblazer. But it’s also an anthology, so you get a wider variety of options. It’s like a crayon in a crayon box; all these different colors, flavors, all these different points of view and attitudes and genre mash-ups… it’s a real treat.”
