    Yes, of course I’ll watch it. What, like I’m NOT going to do that? Come on, Marvel’s had me hooked from the start and they know it!

    1. Shafi Islam

      I’m fine with recasting Captain Marvel. I preferred Emily Blunt or Katie Sackoff in the role, anyway.

      1. Stupid, stupid, stupid

      2. It’s probably Kim raver she does the voice for marvel rising

  2. Leonard Wagenknecht

    Hell yeah I’m watching it. I grew up on Marvel and loved What If back in the early 90’s. I’m excited for it!

    1. Jennifer

      right, I really hate when they recast, maybe after only being in one movie then recast but if they’ve been in multiple movies like both captain marvel and dr. strange have been don’t recast please, for me truly it won’t be the same, and both actors have that extra oomph that I can’t see anyone else replacing their parts.

  3. Gabriel Rodriguez

    Its one thing to recast Captain Marvel.
    The wrong choice is to recast Doctor strage!!!!! He is the best Doctor Strange. It’s like if Recast Iron man! No one can play iron man the way Robert Downey Jr. Did!!!!

    1. J

      He was recast as Ironman s for this show as well….

      1. brandon brboo

        Its not a recast if its animated its just a voice…chill out

    2. Jen

      I just want to point out that they state in this very article that they have recast Iron Man for this series. Downey’s contract was up after Endgame. And they’ll keep the same looks for the character since this is an animated series. They are only re-casting voice actors.

      1. Idk

        Wrong they arent recasting voice actors everyone did this show before endgame…smh plz fact check.

    3. Steve

      It’s What If…? These are all alternate reality versions of the characters. That’s the entire premise of the show. Casting a different voice actor is fine for any of the times regardless who they are.

      1. Sven

        What Brie doesn’t want to be involved?

    4. You realize they were too busy with their own movies right?

  4. Joyce

    No.

    1. There is no such person as Iron Man voice or human other than Robert Downey Jr. If he no longer wants to be “His” original character that’s one thing but if Marvel is pushing him out then I am done. No one replaces Robert Downey Jr!! Period….. animated voice or human and I feel the same about Steve Rogers Captain America. This is just wrong. These guys can not be replaced! What is wrong with this studio? As I said, if they no longer want to portray THEIR character then so be it but something tells me this is not the case. How dare they seek to replace them!!!

      1. You realize how many animated iron mans there are

        Also do you not know what a multiverse is?

        1. Ron Robinson

          Its a character nit an actually person.
          The show is called what if not everything is the same. As long as tge stories are good let’s roll with it

      2. It is the case because they have said it in interviews have you lived under a rock this entire time

      3. Eddiejb1180

        I’m sorry, pushing him out? What?? Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans both left the MCU on his own, it’s impossible to push him out. If Disney and the MCU feel that they have more stories to tell involving the 2 of them, and then chose to do so in an animated series, it’s fine by me. While it is true that Chris Evans IS, and will always be Cap, just like RDJ will always be Tony Stark aka Iron man, but at the same time I’d much rather they use different actors to voice them then the alternative, no more TS or Cap.I will ask it again, I agree completely, NEVER replace RDJ OR CE in a live action movie, but I for one am certainly not going to boycott the entire MCU over 2 voice actor changes….NEVER

      4. Dre7861

        No one is pushing Downey out of the MCU except Downey himself. One he wants to move on to other roles; and Two his salary demands are too high

      5. JB

        Relax.

      6. Bryan Dawson

        RDJ has said on several occasions after Endgame that he has put the character behind him. Why return then for a small animated show?

      7. RL

        Fans of Marvel Comics AND the MCU have zero issues with different actors voicing the ANIMATED characters. Why? Because it’s the character that is utmost important.

  5. James

    It’s an animated show, the stars who are being “recast” are not being recast in the live action movies. Smh

    1. Eddiejb1180

      Right, thank YOU!! Why are some people so out of touch? For 1, it’s an animated series, and 2, neither Disney, nor the MCU “pushing RDJ and/or Chris Evans out the door, the 2 of them choose, ON THEIR OWN, to leave the MCU after EG. Getting an animated series that includes Cap and Iron man far FAR out weights the use of different VOICE ACTORS. I feel like Allen Iverson during his “were talking about PRACTICE!!” speech right here, “ANIMATED, ANIMATED, not a live action movie, not the movie, but different actors in an ANIMATED SERIES, NOT A MOVIE!!!!!” Some people really are something else

  6. Rockne s Rios

    Isn’t marvel already what if ? What if super heroes and mutants existed? Now a what if inside of a what if?

  7. It’s one thing to cast someone else’s voice in a kids animated movie (if the human character does not want to do the voice) but STOP attempting to change the original cast. PERIOD!

  8. Andrew Miller

    Charlize Theron please as Capt Marvel..please

    1. It’s probably Kim raver she does the voice on marvel rising

    2. BossMustard

      Yes! Charlize Theron!

  9. Niko Nelson

    All of the actors are too expensive if your not going to use them on screen. They would rather save the actors for on screen performances and use voice actors who sound like them for the movies/ shows that don’t show their faces.

  10. Anonymous

    Bs

  11. Thomas Rakes

    Rubbish why recast? Don’t want to see another captain marvel if keep changing the actors then I’m stop watching them. I don’t watch the animated series as they are off compared to the movies.

    1. How many “Cartoons” have you ever watched as a kid? they have voice actors in every single one of them, and sometimes they actually get an actual actor or actress to play the roles that they did in the live action movie or series, but for some people to debate watching a show or not because the actors/actresses that they like are in/ not in a cartoon is really sick, and disrespectful to the show or movie, things change, people are looking for “inclusiveness” a lot of people want to see if the multiverse actually exist, and for people to hoot and Hollar about the character is like going to the movies and telling people the plotlines, it’s pretty stupid.

  12. SirStephenH

    “When the idea was first pitched, Marvel boss Feige was presented with 30 pitches for each episode, which was eventually narrowed down to 10”

    I assume this is a mistake because this would be 300 pitches total. 30 for each episode and ten episodes equals 300.

  13. Michael Mason

    Get it right. I know it isn’t popukar, but, the original
    Mar-Vell. Coming up on 40th anniversay of the death of OG Captain Marvel. His Son,Hulking is going to get a big push soon in young avengers. Dont let Bucky/Winter Soldier, Jean Gray, and Barry Allen Flash has all the return from death fun. Make Mine Mega-band, Male, Mar-Vell.

    For once, correct this mistake and make comics Great Again.

    1. I want The LAw act on This bad act

  14. Gil

    What if the powers that be, gave a war, and nobody came? Ludicrous that someone took so much time out of their lives to really take this information seriously. I read them, just to read about the people so obsessed by all this hoopla. I admit, I like some of the new movies and such, but I do not care to make it, part of my life. I do not care to enter the, what if, scenarios. Who, Cares!

  15. Nate

    Bri Larson should be recast, she is awful in the roll. There are far far greater actresses for the role. If Marvel recasts Dr. Strange they are only hurting their pocketbooks.

  16. Lady

    Meh, who expects animated and live versions of anything to have exactly the same cast anyhow? Still going to watch it… and love it. Marvel has yet to disappoint me.

  17. Jason Jones

    The animation quality looks terrible. Pass.

  18. JDiosa

    People really think actors are being recast. Hilarious. Its a cartoon not the MCU!

  19. Vir Prasada-Bridle

    I think Captain Marvel should be re-casted, but Doctor Strange I’m fine with.

  20. CN

    Marvel actors are not under contract anymore. Which means if they don’t want, they don’t have to. I’m very disappointed in some actors who decided not to come back.

  21. The show is called what if after the comics it is a series of alternate reality stories with alternate versions of every character. Stop being stupid, stupid.

    1. Jane Doe

      This is a voice project, it’s okay to recast. AND it’s the multiverse. It would be better if things were different.
      Yinz are just overreacting.

  22. I don’t understand the negativity around captain marvel. I never have. I like both captain marvel and dr. strange and will hate to see either go.

  23. Andrew Trivette

    But MOST IMPORTANTLY, I have an opinion! I say we either everyone the same or recast everyone for the animation! I want Eugene Mirman (a.k.a Gene from Bob’s Burgers) as Capt. Marvel, Bobcat Goldthwait as Dr. Strange, a whiny Mark Wahlberg as Ant-Man, Morgan Freeman as Vision/Jarvis, James Earl Jones as Ego(for obvious reasons), the only woman who can play a Peggy; Kathy Najimy as Peggy Carter(imagine her trademark laugh followed by a self amused “Oh… Peggy” when talking to Capt. America!), Sam Elliot as Capt. America;

    Alec Baldwin – Hawkeye
    Fran Dresser – Black Widow
    Patrick Stewart – Odin
    Megyn Kelly – Pepper Potts
    Liam Neeson – Black Panther
    Tom Hanks – Bruce Banner
    Patrick Warburton – Hulk
    Keith David – Nick Fury
    Johnny Hardwick(Dale Gribble) – Star-Lord
    Mike Myers – Rocket Raccoon
    Trace Adkins – Heimdall
    Shia LaBeouf – Spider-Man
    Michael Sheen – Thanos
    Joe Pesci – Loki
    Al Pacino – Thor
    Kathleen Turner – Gamora
    (The rest you guys can fantasize over)

    But the guy who plays the Iconic Ultimate Animated Iron Man …… Vince Vaughn. (I get it! But as far as Animation, all of these choices would be highly entertaining & amazing to watch!)

  24. Ricky

    Calm down Karen’s.

  25. Maruice Sr

    No do not recast its fine the way it is. If anything give the hulk some justice, because yall him very very weak!.

  26. Kaleb Sims

    It’s only for what if not a big deal.

  27. RickySpanish

    So this is wrong, RDJ will be voicing Iron Man. So not sure on rest of story..

    1. A. Normal Guy

      He’s literally not, but go off I guess.

  28. Ever since Stan died, others who really didn’t know Stan have tried to change things and I think it’s all about money, not what the real fans want. I’m done. Time to move on.

  29. Creg

    Only reason they did it was because the actors were working on other projects. The actors aren’t being removed from the MCU they just weren’t able to be there for filming. Doctor strange and Captain Marvel both have “solo” films up and coming.

  30. Ashraf Idrishi

    No way Brie And Benedict should never be replaced

  31. Ryan

    One of my favorite comic book characters as a kid was Captain Marvel but I cannot stand to watch this version of captain marvel

  32. Cass

    Hey if we can get Micheal Rooker back to voice Yando I’m so down for that

  33. Todd Jumper

    Then why did Jeff Goldblum claim he did voiceover work with Robert Downey Jr. For his What IF episode?
