In a festive treat for Marvel enthusiasts, the first episode of Season 2 of Marvel Studios’ What If…? is now available for streaming on Disney+. Adding to the holiday cheer, a new episode is set to premiere daily for the next eight days. Reprising his role as The Watcher, Jeffrey Wright (“The French Dispatch,” “The Batman”) leads an ensemble cast of MCU stars, bringing to life alternate realities and unexpected twists in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Director Bryan Andrews, thrilled with the performances, shared, “They’ve all been great. 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.”

The cast also includes Clancy Brown, Josh Brolin, Benedict Cumberbatch, Kat Dennings, Michael Douglas, Idris Elba, Karen Gillan, Seth Green, Frank Grillo, Jeff Goldblum, Laurence Fishburne, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Rachel House, Samuel L. Jackson, Jude Law, Elizabeth Olsen, Jeremy Renner, Sam Rockwell, Paul Rudd, Mark Ruffalo, Michael Rooker, Kurt Russell, Peter Serafinowicz, John Slattery, Cobie Smulders, Sebastian Stan, Tessa Thompson, Stanley Tucci, Taika Waititi, and Rachel Weisz.
