Avengers, assemble—well, sort of ...

Marvel and Disney+ have been cranking out the original series—first, Wandavision, then The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, and now, What If...?. As a Marvel fan, it's been a helluva lotta content, and I'm allll for it.

With What If...? hitting our screens last week, everyone is itching to see their favorite characters in new and exciting roles. However, not every MCU actor returned to voice their character for the new animated series. So, we're here to set the record straight; here's an ever-growing list of the MCU actors voicing their characters, as well as the ones who have been replaced.
