MARVEL STUDIOS' ANIMATED SERIES "WHAT IF... ?" NOW STREAMING
Jeffrey Wright Returns as The Watcher, Joining Lineup of MCU Stars Who Reprise Iconic Roles
Episode one of season two of Marvel Studios' "What If... ?" is now streaming on Disney+. In the spirit of the holidays, a new episode will debut daily for the next eight days. Jeffrey Wright ("The French Dispatch," "The Batman") returns as The Watcher, joining a host of MCU stars reprising their roles. "They've all been great," said director Bryan Andrews. "Cate Blanchett really sunk her teeth into this version of Hela we have. And, of course, Hayley Atwell as our Captain Carter - seeing that character go through what she goes through and keeps forging ahead - it's amazing what Hayley brings to the table. And we had Jon Favreau come in and do a couple of versions of Happy Hogan and it was a blast. He's amazing and really went for it. I asked for some wacky stuff in our 1602-inspired episode and he delivered in a big way - so much fun."
