Marvel Studios makes its first official foray into animation with What If…? featuring Jeffrey Wright as The Watcher. Exploring alternate universes where things might have gone very differently than in the movies, it’s also an opportunity to bring back the original actors to voice their characters without having to get back into superheroic shape.

It’s been long established that the first episode would focus on “What if Peggy Carter became a super-soldier?”, but it also looks like The Winter Soldier will face Marvel Zombies.
