Marvel Studios just announced the return of Jeffrey Wrights Watcher inI Am GrootsSeason 2.

The character initially appeared inWhat If…?sfirst season, where he led audiences through theMCUMultiverse.

Felt good to add a whole new comedic layer in the 11th hour.

Can’t say enough great things about that record session.

[He is] such a cool guy.

We had actually done three different scratches, you know, like the temporary dialogue for that episode.

And then we were kind of like, ‘Oh, I don’t know.'"

I mean, he is The Watcher, like he embodies it so [well]… ## Where Else Could The Watcher Show Up?

The closest audienceshave come so far was an Easter egginThor: Love and Thunder.
