What If…? Poster Proves Thor's Hammer is Good For Pointing at Things

We just need to get this off our chests. We don't remember the comic book version of What If…? always being this dark and depressing. Disney+ and Marvel Studios' version? After starting on a somewhat upbeat note with Captain Carter and T'Challa, Star-Lord's episodes, the "gloomy" theme kicked into high gear with murdered Avengers, a murdered Tony Stark, an evil Doctor Strange, and a crapload of Marvel Zombies. Here's hoping this week's Thor-focused episode cheers up the room a bit more- and to mark the occasion, we have an official key art character profile poster to share showing off The God of Thunder in "hammer-pointing" pose mode.

For a look at the alt-reality multiversal heroes of Disney+ & Marvel Studios' What If…? (and the possible "bigger picture" that this is all leading to), check out the midseason trailer below:

Now here's a look back at the original official trailer for Disney+ and Marvel Studios' What If…?:
