One of Marvel’s more interesting announcements during its Hall H panel at last night’s San Diego Comic Con is the What If…? animated series.
What If…? is an animated project which will be headlined by The Watcher, set to be voiced by Jeffrey Wright. The series will bring back a huge number of Marvel supporting players to tell alternate stories about their characters.
Alongside debuting the logo for the show Kevin Feige unveiled a huge list of actors set to appear on the show including our very favourite Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter.

Feige mentioned that many actors from across the Marvel Cinematic Universe will reprise their roles as voice talent in the series. He then surprised the audience by bringing Jeffrey Wright to the stage and introducing him as the voice of the popular character The Watcher in the new series.
