As we await the next slate of live action Marvel TV shows—including Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, and Moon Knight—we get to spend several weeks alongside older characters, reliving familiar MCU moments in the twisted timeline of What If...? where those characters sometimes sound... unfamiliar.
That’s because Marvel’s What If...? —obviously outside the contractual obligations of previous stars—doesn’t always include the original voice actors. Actors like Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Brie Larson, Scarlett Johansson, and Tom Holland are all absent. But they are the exception rather than the rule. A large portion of key Marvel actors, including Samuel L. Jackson, Josh Brolin, Sebastian Stan, and Chadwick Boseman, did in fact voice their animated avatars.
What If...? executive producer Brad Winderbaum was actually surprised so many actors came back. He told ComicBook.com that he didn’t necessarily bank on the entire cast returning.
“One early decision was we were not going to let the show be defined by the actors we thought we could get,” Winderbaum said. “Part of the fun of What If...? is being able to tell stories in any corner of the universe you want to and that means that you need that infinite canvas, you need that infinite potential.”
That said, he was pleased at the turnout. “I was afraid we wouldn’t get any actors to come back. The fact that we got as many as we did, 85% of the actors came back or something like that. It’s incredible and it’s a real honor and privilege to work with all of them.”
Even when the replacement actors didn’t get their impressions perfect, Winderbaum said, it didn’t matter. “The good news is that all these stories exist in a parallel universe, so there’s a cerebral justification for slight differences.”
