Summary
TheWhat If…?season 2 release date is scheduled before the end of 2023. Unfortunately, Disney Plus is making fans wait for a more precise date.
What If…?season 1 premiered over two years ago, offering alternate takes on already-established MCU storylines. For instance, the first episode showed fans how events would have unfolded had Peggy Carter taken the Super Soldier serum instead of Steve Rogers, and another depicted a team-up between Tony Stark and Kilmonger, with disastrous results. These stories were largely self-contained, though theWhat If…?season finale culminated with several heroes from each universe uniting to defeat an Ultron variant, firmlyestablishing the MCU multiverse.
Now,Disney Plushas confirmedWhat If…?season 2 will premiere this holiday season. However, a specific date was not provided, leaving fans to assume the Marvel Studios series could return to Disney Plus any day between now and New Year’s Eve. However, notable scooperCanWeGetSomeToastpreviously claimed the series will premiere “around Christmas.” While Disney Plus provided aWhat If…?season 2 synopsis, it was equally vague.
The Watcher continues the journey as our guide through the vast multiverse, introducing brand-new and familiar faces throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The animated anthology series questions, revisits and twists classic Marvel Cinematic moments with an incredible voice cast that includes a host of stars who reprise their iconic roles
The series' holiday season premiere is ideal, considering one of the episode stories. AWhat If…?season 2 episodereportedly centers on Happy Hogan saving Christmas, though few other details have surfaced. Additional episodes are rumored to focus on Nebula joining the Nova Corps and Iron Man meeting the Grandmaster fromThor: Ragnarok, among other stories. Perhaps most exciting is the confirmed debut of an all-new MCU character named Kahhori, who was created specifically forWhat If…?season 2. “What If…?asks what would happen if the Tesseract fell to Earth and landed in the sovereign Haudenosaunee Confederacy before the colonization of America,” reads Marvel’s description of Kahhori’s episode. “The Tesseract takes on a new life and a new mythology, transforming a lake into a gateway to the stars and leading Kahhori, a young Mohawk woman, on a quest to discover her power.”
WhileWhat If…?season 1 was largely unaffected by the MCU’s prime universe, and vice-versa, fans are curious to see if the second season will have more significant ramifications for the Multiverse saga. WithLokiseason 2 paving the way for Kang the Conqueror’s arrival,The Marvelsexpected to have a huge X-Men connection, andDeadpool 3bringing Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine into the MCU, fans are hoping each new Marvel Studios' project will bring them closer to the Multiversal War expected inAvengers: Secret Wars.
What If…?season 2 is scheduled to premiere on Disney Plus this holiday season.
