And hosting the various tales will be the voice of Jeffrey Wright, who joins the MCU as the all-seeing, all-knowing Watcher. Wright took to the stage to discuss the role: “The Watcher is a non-Earthly being who observes all things. He’s watching over the multiverse and occasionally may nor may not intervene with the doings of earthlings, other than that he’s off doing his own things…Today is the 50th Anniversary of the Moonlanding. The Watcher first appears in 63 I think, Fantastic 4, he turns up on the Moon because today’s the 50th anniversary, but the watcher had a crib their ages ago. I’m excited to see where we take it, we could take it anywhere.” Marvel’s What If…? will premiere on Disney+ summer 2021.

I wonder if RDJr is really done then. Maybe it's too early to get the hype train rolling but he's such an integral part of the series, it's hard to imagine he wouldn't be involved in something like this. Plus it's a neat idea. Can't wait!!
