Disney has announced that Marvel Studios and Abrams Books will be releasing a brand new book called “The Art Of Marvel Studios “What If..?” (Volume One). The book will take fans behind the scenes of Marvel Studios’ first animated series, which is available to stream now on Disney+.

The series reimagines famous events from the Marvel Cinematic Universe in unexpected ways. With a voice cast that includes Hayley Atwell, Tom Hiddleston, Chadwick Boseman, and many other stars reprising their roles from the films, the Emmy Award–nominated “What If…?” creates alternate worlds from the ones you know and opens up a plethora of vast new realities.

With each story, The Watcher (Jeffrey Wright) acts as a guide through these various timelines and raises such questions as: What if Ultron successfully defeated the Avengers and acquired the Infinity Stones? What if Peggy Carter was injected with Super Soldier Serum instead of Steve Rogers? What if T’Challa became Star-Lord?

The book is filled with striking imagery and a bold colour palette; these timelines are brought to life in an animation style that is complementary to the look and feel of the MCU and features designs by the guiding hand of Ryan Meinerding, giving the series a cohesive look and feel with the films.

Through interviews with the animators, designers, producers, and writers of the series, readers will discover everything that goes into translating their favorite heroes and villains from live action to animation and how exciting new possibilities for storytelling can open up if you only ask, “What if…?”

The book has been written by Paul Davies, who has previously worked on various art books for video games, including “Hogwarts Legacy” and “Horizon: Zero Dawn”. The book also features Marvel’s Brad Winderbaum, who provides the book’s introduction, and Bryan Andrews, who provides the afterword.

This new book will be released on August 27th 2024, and can be pre-ordered now from all good bookstores. “The Art Of Marvel Studios “What If..?” (Volume One) is priced at $44.99.
