What If Marvel's What If...? - General Discussion

[darthcoolness3]

Apparently this came from a press briefing:

Spoiler

This confirms that Tom Holland won't be voicing Spider-Man in the series

 

[SirStrangefolk]

At least Strange's voice actor sounds more like Cumberbatch compared to Tony's voice actor to RDJ.

That's probably because it is Cumberbatch lol

Marvel Fans Have Thoughts After Finding Out Chris Evans, Benedict Cumberbatch And More Are Not In What if? Series

EDIT:

Wait, I just saw that press release that confirms him. I guess it was only a rumor that he wouldn't be in this.

 

[Kev4000]

I just hope Disney allow the dubing studios for other language to use the original cast dubing actors.

It only says "Fans have recently figured out that[...] even Benedict Cumberbatch will not be providing voice work for the show."
Where have fans figured this out? It only shows people assuming this on twitter because he was not in the original announcement.

Edit: just saw your edit. So nevermind

I just hope Disney allow the dubing studios for other language to use the original cast dubing actors.

You mean like, the guy who dubbed RDJ as Iron Man in Spanish will play him in the Spanish dub of What If...? I imagine they'll probably do that. I don't see why they wouldn't allow that.

I think people had just assumed because he wasn't included in earlier cast lists. In their defense, Downey and Evans weren't either and now they're pretty much confirmed to not be coming back for this.

[Spider-Fan]

Glad reactions are good. I want the show to be good.

Do we know how many episodes this will be?

 

[Dr. Evil]

She's divisive but here's Grace Randolph's first thoughts:

 

[Dr. Evil]

Nebula

You would laugh. The contract for the Sailor Moon reboot had in contract that it is not allowed the former voice actors perform again in the reboot, because the japanese version used different voice cast as well.

@Spider-Fan I heard about 10 episodes for season 1.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Initially I had stated that since I wasn't a big animation guy that I was going to skip this unless reviews were outstanding. Right now I am leaning towards watching the show.

Captain Carter to Return for Second Season of Marvel's What If...? - LaughingPlace.com

In a press conference for Marvel’s What If…?, executive producer Brad Winderbaum revealed that Captain Carter will return for the second season of the Disney+ series.

• When asked if any of the scenarios would be explored again, producer Brad Winderbaum revealed that they decided early on that the Captain Carter’s story would be one that they explored each season.

Other Things We Learned from the Press Conference

• The creative team said that each episode would stand on its own, but that there may be opportunities for Marvel style alchemy.
• It is not a coincidence that the show happens after Loki, where the Marvel multiverse is created
• Jeffrey Wright was also coy about whether he expects to play The Watcher in a live-action Marvel project.
• The Watcher is thought of as being the ultimate Marvel fan who is fascinated by the stories he is able to witness.
• The entire creative team was moved by Chadwick Boseman’s performance and felt a lot of pressure to get the episode right as a tribute to him.

Based on that tweet,
1st: Captain Carter
2nd: Star T'Challa
3rd: Loki
?

 

[Albright]

3rd most likely to be the Strange episode

 

[Albright]

I wonder if we‘ll get two episodes at once next week.
The press received 2 episodes for Loki and F&WS and 3 episodes for WV. We got 2 episodes for the WV premiere then

 

[Dark Raven]

Why couldn't they get Elizabeth Olsen back as Wanda, especially since she just did WandaVision and they have Paul Bettany for What If?

I wonder if the zombies will speak like in the comic or just be grunting and more mindless (but still powered). If Wanda's only in it as a zombie that could be why
