Meet The Watcher
Jeffrey Wright voices the Watcher in What If…?, the animated series that revisits familiar Marvel situations with a different starting assumption. Disney’s official series material describes him as the guide through these alternate stories. His narration is a useful thread even when an episode changes its cast, setting or tone.

At the start of each story, identify the altered circumstance before comparing it with the film you remember. Follow that episode’s consequences on their own terms; a familiar face does not mean every earlier event happened in the same way.
