4. What If…?
Marvel’s What If…? comic book stories have always offered a glimpse into alternate realities. These stories were an opportunity for creators to flex their imaginations and go wild. With the animated What If…? Disney Plus series, fans will get to see their favorite MCU characters playing out a variety of different scenarios.
The series is scheduled to begin with a reality where Peggy Carter became Captain America instead of Steve Rogers. The character will be voiced by Hayley Atwell, reprising her role from the film franchise. Almost the entire cast list from the MCU is rumored to be voicing their roles on the show, adding an air of authenticity to the proceedings. What other alternate stories are we likely to see? We can’t wait to find out.

There are a lot of people who cried ‘finally!’ when it was announced that Ms. Marvel would be getting her own live-action series.
The character was a game-changer for Marvel and she’s likely to be revolutionary on-screen as well. Ms. Marvel has featured in several animated Marvel shows, but this will be her first live-action appearance.
Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, is a young Pakistani-American girl who is transformed by Terrigen Mists. When she discovers she’s an Inhuman, Kamala uses her ‘embiggening’ powers to become a hero like Captain Marvel. Kamala’s appeal lies in how normal she is.
She’s a likable and fun character trying to navigate between her conventional Muslim family and being a teenager in America. Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has promised that Kamala will not only appear in her own show but will transfer over to the MCU film franchise as well. For now, we’re all looking forward to seeing a nuanced portrayal of this character on Disney Plus.
