Based on the images released by the studio, fans can look forward to seeing Sam Wilson as Captain America alongside Monica Rambeau.

What could What If...? Season 3 be about?
As per the comics that debuted in 1977, What If...? Season 3 could potentially explore deeper aspects of the MCU's multiverse, with a central focus on The Watcher as a central figure.
Given the series' history of reimagining key MCU events, we might see more alternative scenarios of well-known stories. In addition, it could also explore territories or characters that hadn't been the focus in earlier seasons.
Furthermore, producer Brad Winderbaum suggests that What If...? Season 3 might also delve into his character, motivations, and perhaps his background. This could provide a unique perspective on the MCU, considering The Watcher's role as an observer of the multiverse.
In a statement, Brad said:
"The fact that we have What If…? going into a third season, it means that we can go a little bit deeper with these characters, especially the Watcher."
With the exploration of the multiverse, there's an opportunity for What If...? Season 3 to connect with the broader MCU narrative, possibly tying in with events or developments from recent movies or series. The serialized aspect of the show, combined with its anthology nature, allows for both standalone stories and overarching themes that could align with the evolving MCU storyline.
