The newest episode of Marvel’s What If…? was released on Disney+ this week and asked the question, “What If… the World Lost Its Mightiest Heroes?” The episode featured the return of many Marvel Cinematic Universe stars as well as some MCU newcomers. It was previously reported that Scarlett Johansson would not be voicing Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow in the animated series, but her replacement ended up being a pretty cool choice. Lake Bell is known for an array of comedies, but these days, fans know her best as the voice of another famous comic book character… Poison Ivy. Bell voices the role on the Harley Quinn animated series, which actually poked fun of What If…? in a recent, hilarious tweet. Many Marvel and DC fans have taken to Twitter this week to celebrate Bell and the fact that she now voices two iconic women.

High Praise
I thought Lake Bell did a great job as Natasha in the new #WhatIf. Really gave off Phase 1 Widow vibes but she still made it her own pic.twitter.com/YjEclzln1u
