The alternate universe shown in the art is a bleak one, with New York City decimated and deserted aside from a horde of zombies lurking in the darkness. A broken version of the Avengers logo dominates the scene, and on one side of it, there's a zombie clearly recognizable as an undead Captain America. On the other side, Iron Man stands in his classic pose with arm outstretched, but his missing mask shows that he too is undead.

What If...? is an anthology show which will focus on different hypothetical scenarios in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with each episode. The new poster represents an episode inspired by Marvel Zombies, a limited comic series consisting of five issues, written by The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman with art by Sean Phillips and cover art by Arthur Suydam. Published between 2005 and 2006, the narrative is set in an alternate universe depicting a virus that has infected superheroes. The idea originally came from a crossover event in Ultimate Fantastic Four, in which Reed Richards is tricked into opening a portal to the undead universe by his zombie variant.

What If...? head writer A.C. Bradley has said that this episode will be the one that sticks closest to the source comics, explaining that the main source of inspiration for this one was the comics because "it is so good," instead of leaning on past films in the MCU.

Based on Marvel's comic of the same name, What If...? will explore deeper into the multiverse that was hinted at in the title of the upcoming film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and explained more fully in the Disney+ series Loki. Many actors are returning from their various roles across the MCU to lend their talents to the project with dozens of new voices joining up as well.

Created by A.C. Bradley, What If...? premieres Aug. 11 on Disney+. New episodes will air Wednesdays.
