Marvel Studios’ first animated series What If…? is set to hit Disney+ in 2021, and will explore alternate scenarios in the already told Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Production on the series has been ongoing, even through the pandemic as the animators have been able to do a lot of the work remotely. Now, as the series is beginning to end production, the studio will now set its sights on the music for the film. According to Variety, Lovecraft Country composer Laura Karpman has been tapped to score the What If…?.
Besides working on HBO’s newest hit series Lovecraft Country, Karpman is a four-time Emmy winner for her work on Masters of Science, Odyssey 5, and most recently the documentary series Why We Hate. She has also previously worked on Searchlight’s Step.
