Marvel’s What If? Every MCU Character Confirmed (So Far)

Killmonger! Yondu! Korg! The Watcher!!!

MCU What If
Marvel Studios

Marvel really aren't pulling the punches with their ever-expanding Disney+ TV annex of the MCU. Unlike the Netflix shows, which were definitively set apart from the big screen action, the Disney+ "event shows" will feature the main cast of the movies for the most part and will tie very closely to the movies. In other words, Marvel and Disney are banking on the fact that you'll class them as unmissable parts of the franchise.

Why else would they blur the lines between the movies and Disney+ TV shows?

Most interesting of those shows is What If...? A sort of anthology show looking at different One-Shot-style scenarios based on important moments in the MCU and how they could have turned out differently.

A huge number (well, 25) existing MCU characters will reappear for the series, which will presumably look at a collection of different alternate scenarios around different MCU sub-series. By the look of it, we're going to get something in Wakanda, something related to Pym Particles, a Ravager story, something on Asgard (or Sakaar) and something set in the later 1940s...

All very exciting stuff. But who can we count on coming back and who is the mysterious new character confirmed by the Comic Con MCU panel?
