Disney suddenly has a lot of big plans for its Disney+ streaming service, with the initial idea of taking things slow recently replaced by a new approach that involves dumping the “entire” Disney vault online — in addition to big-name projects that have already been announced, like The Mandalorian and the Marvel Cinematic Universe spin-off shows. Now, since Disney is already committed to shovelling a bunch of money into the engines that drive Disney+, it might as well pick up a whole new Marvel show from MCU mastermind Kevin Feige.

That’s what /Film says is happening at least, but there’s a shocking twist here: The series will supposedly be based on Marvel’s What If series, which originally ran from 1977 to 1984 but tends to pop up every few years when there’s a lull in major crossover events. /Film’s story hasn’t been met with an official announcement from Marvel or Disney, so we don’t know if this is really going to get made, but the report says What If will be an animated series that explores what would happen if various major events in the MCU had unfolded differently.

It even says that Disney could “potentially” bring in some of the actors from the MCU to reprise their roles, since you don’t have to work out nearly as much to provide the voice of Captain America as you do to fit into the Captain America suit.
