The second episode of Marvel’s latest TV show, ‘What If?’, was released last week on Disney Plus. The community loved watching T’Challa as Star-Lord, and now, fans are waiting for the release of Episode 3.
What If…? is a popular animated series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). It’s an anthology series that explores different alternate realities following the multiverse’s creation in the final episode of Loki.
Interestingly, the show brings several cast members from the live-action movies for voiceovers in ‘What If?.’ And that’s one of many reasons you shouldn’t miss out on this amazing series.

What If? Episode 3 Preview
Marvel didn’t release a trailer for the upcoming What If? Episode; however, we do have some preview images. Apparently, the studio went on to Twitter to share posters for Nick Fury and Black Widow. The post says, “See Nick Fury and Black Widow in a new episode of Marvel Studios’ WhatIf …?.”
We already know that Samuel L. Jackson will be back to voice Nick Fury; however, Black Widow will be voiced by Lake Bell. Of course, it’s hard to predict the plot of the next episode just by looking at the posters. But we know this much that Episode 3 will take place on a dystopian Earth. Some fans are even expecting the zombie Avengers to show up in the upcoming episode.
