And if…? has told stories from the multiverse across the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the upcoming final season introduces many new and returning characters. While many And if…? proposals were rejected and even some perfect multiverse opportunities were missed, the series was able to tell original and unique stories in animation parallel to the MCU proper. Audiences can anticipate a final season that will be even bigger and more impactful in the Multiverse Saga than anything that has been seen before.
Many eagerly await the And if…? season 3 release date, and now it makes sense to take a look at the many different characters who are set to appear in the series. While many of the MCU actors have voiced their variants, some have not. Before the series begins, and a plethora of familiar Marvel characters grace the small screen, it's worth investigating the show's cast list. Note that additional cast may be added throughout the season, with other roles TBD.
Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter
Peggy first appeared in Captain America: The First Avenger
British actress Hayley Atwell has been an important part of And if…? as Peggy Carter, and especially as Captain Carter, and will return in the new season. Stories about Peggy becoming Captain Carter were incorporated into seasons 1 and 2, and the character even had an ill-fated appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. With Hayley Atwell confirmed to return in Avengers: Judgment DayStories involving Captain Carter could become even more important in the universe.
While none of the revealed episode titles revolve around Captain Carter as they have in previous seasons, with “What If…Captain Carter Fought the Hydra Stomper?” like the latest, Atwell could still play a prominent role here. With future plans for the character, the necessary setup could be provided in the series. Atwell has been part of the MCU since Captain America: The First Avengerand its importance is unlikely to end soon.

David Harbor as Red Guardian
Red Guardian last appeared in Black Widow
David Harbor will return as Red Guardian in And if…? season 3. The actor played the character with humorous affection in Black Widowand should have its role expanded in the coming Rays*. Before then, Harbor will bring his voice to the Marvel animated series, where he appears to be paired with characters including Bucky Barnes.
Harbor became an in-demand actor after many years of working in the industry following his turn Stranger Things. Although the actor is a great support, his humor and presence qualify him for bigger, more interesting roles. Audiences have seen some of this in recent years, but it seems likely that the best for Harbour, and perhaps even Red Guardian, is yet to come.

Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner aka Hulk
Hulk last appeared in She-Hulk: Lawyer
Smart Hulk persisted for a long time, although it seemed to end when Mark Ruffalo reprises the role in And if…? season 3. The character is set to appear in “What If…Hulk Fought The Mech Avengers?”, an episode that will likely feature a rage-filled Hulk for the first time in years. As the Avengers look set to transform with their giant array of mechs, a frightening and menacing Hulk will battle them.
Mark Ruffalo became an important part of the MCU after replacing Edward Norton to The Avengers. Ruffalo has an excellent, calm charisma that contrasts well with the Hulk's brutal terror. Audiences have been hoping for a wild Hulk to return to the franchise for some time now, and it looks like that will finally happen in the final season of And if…?.
