Disney And Marvel Producing Animated WHAT IF? Series

The only way that such a show works is if it is animated because it would be very expensive and difficult getting the original actors to return to playing these Marvel Characters. What If was one of my favorite comics series but the whole premise of the comic relied on the fact that I knew the FIRST stories they were now altering so I could understand the changes. Someone who is no so versed in comic book lore would be lost and the reimagined stories lose all their punch. So the series would be limited

We have exclusively learned that Marvel Studios will be producing a new television series for the Disney+ streaming service based on the popular What If comic book series. The new animated show will be overseen by Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios, but the stories will not be canon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Hit the jump to learn more about the What If TV series.

The idea is that they could potentially have some of the main actors from the live-action Marvel Cinematic Universe movies reprise their roles in the animated series, which would imagine alternate possibilities from another dimension. The time commitment for voice acting is a whole lot less than for live-action productions, which could accommodate some of the biggest Marvel talent. The series would function as an anthology, just like the comic book series, with each episode tackling a different premise.

I have confirmed the information above with three separate sources. Currently, it’s unclear if they will use any other storylines from the comics for inspiration other than the one mentioned above. It’s possible that many of the scenarios will be entirely new, and we know that they will be based on what we have seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and not the comic canon.
