Marvel’s What If? season 2 is officially announced by Disney+ during Disney+ Day 2021, confirming the MCU multiverse will be further explored. The first animated show set within the world of the Marvel Cinematic Universe was officially announced at San Diego Comic-Con in 2019 and, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, debuted during its originally established release window of Summer 2021. It’s the fourth MCU show to release on Disney+, following the premieres of WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Loki earlier this year.
Throughout What If? season 1, the show has mostly followed an anthology format, with each episode tackling a different scenario that diverges from the main MCU timeline. What If? episodes have explored ideas like Marvel Zombies, Peggy Carter becoming a super soldier and T’Challa becoming Star-Lord. In the later episodes, though, What If? took a turn and became more serialized, with the multiverse being threatened by Vision Ultron, who’s harnessed the powers of the Infinity Stones. That set the stage for the What If? finale to see The Watcher assemble a team of heroes from previous episodes to protect the multiverse.
On Disney+ Day, What If? season 2 was confirmed by Disney+. Neither a release date nor release window was offered by Disney+, with the streaming service simply saying the second batch of episodes are “coming soon.” It’s possible, What If? season 2 could release in 2022, but it may not arrive until 2023.
The What If? season 2 confirmation comes as little surprise considering the show creators have been discussing plans for their next run of episodes throughout the airing of season 1. Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige previously said What If? season 2 will explore alternate universes spun out from Phase 4 movies – which so far includes Black Widow, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Eternals. Though it’s known one episode will be about Black Widow, the exact storyline of the season 2 episode isn’t known. Of course, there’s one particular “what if” scenario many are hoping Marvel explores: What if Hawkeye died on Vormir instead of Black Widow in Avengers: Endgame. It remains to be seen whether that’s incorporated in What If? season 2, though.
While What If? season 2 has been in the works for some time, it’s now official the series is continuing on, which shows Marvel and Disney’s confidence in the project. After all, it’s only the second MCU Disney+ show to get renewed, with WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier seemingly being one-offs. It’s worth noting WandaVision set up Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Falcon set up Captain America 4, so they were likely intended to be only one season each. As for What If?, there’s plenty more in Phase 4 (and earlier) to pull from, especially since What If? has expanded the multiverse to adapt comics storylines like Marvel Zombies. It’ll be exciting to see what types of stories will be in What If? season 2.
