The first clip from Marvel’s animated ‘What If…?’ Season 3 is online.
Sebastian Stan and David Harbour are among those lending their voices.
The series is reportedly returning sooner than we thought.

If you enjoyed the nine-day release schedule of ‘What If’s second season over this year’s festive period, you might find yourself wondering when the show will return for its third run.

But while a recent promotional event for the animated output from Marvel and Disney+ made mention of Season 3 in “early development”, on the basis of a new clip, the next run of episodes is much further along than we thought.

What’s the new clip for ‘What If…?’ Season 3?

While the clip doesn’t specify when we might see the new episodes, it does offer up footage from one of them –– no title details yet, but we do learn that it’ll feature Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier driving incognito with the Alexei Ivanovich Shostakov/Red Guardian (David Harbour) trying to get past a police checkpoint that is being manned by Bill Foster, AKA Giant Man, (voiced by Laurence Fishburne) and a new character named Ranger Morales.

What exactly the bickering new duo is up to remains to be seen, but on the basis of this, it’ll fun finding out.

And Marvel is staying quiet about what else the new season will have to offer, though it’ll hopefully keep on expanding the MCU in interesting ways, with new characters and intriguing spins on existing heroes (and villains).

What else does Marvel have coming to Disney+?

Alaqua Cox as Maya Lopez in Marvel Studios' 'Echo,' releasing on Hulu and Disney+.

While Marvel has a much-reduced movie slate this year thanks to strike delays (only ‘Deadpool 3’ is headed to theaters in 2024), its small screen output is still strong.

‘Echo’, spun off from 2021’s ‘Hawkeye’, will be landing on January 9th in one go, while ‘Agatha: Darkhold Diaries’ is reportedly showing up in the fall.

On the animated front, ‘What If…?’s third run will be joined by ‘X-Men ’97’ (a return for the cartoon adventures of Marvel’s favorite mutants) Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man (which is an MCU Spidey prequel series, though no word on whether Tom Holland will be voicing Peter Parker), and ‘Eyes of Wakanda’ (a show that follows Wakandan warriors as they scour the world rooting out stolen Vibranium).

There is also a ‘What If…?’ spin-off limited series focused on the dark, zombie-infested world glimpsed in episode 5 of the first season, but while that is expected this year, like the other series it doesn’t have a scheduled premiere date yet.
