‘What if…’ has been renewed for another 9 chapters that we will see on Disney +. Will Captain Carter and Steve Rogers return?
In this Phase 4, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is opening to the multiverse. The end of ‘Loki’ has already given us a little insight into what this means, and hopefully in ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ and ‘Doctor Strange: Into the Multiverse of Madness’ we will find out how it will affect to the backbone of the Avengers; but where we have seen for the first time the enormous possibilities of this multiverse has been in the surprising animated series ‘What if…’ (‘What would happen if…’). It is also the most playful side of the multiverse. All ‘What if…’ stories are canon. and, at the same time, by taking place in parallel universes they have the necessary freedom to experiment with animation and Marvel icons.
‘What if…’ was born to indulge in the pleasure of fantasizing about other possibilities for superheroes. Its first installment has been a success and Marvel has already confirmed It will return in a second season.
Director Bryan Andrews and the showrunner AC Bradley will go back to spinning the “What if…” in another 9 new chapters of 30 minutes (approx.) each.
This is all we know.
‘What If…’ (Season 2): Premiere Date
‘What If…’ (T2) will premiere on Disney+ in early 2023.
Right now, all the episodes of the second season are already written and in production.
‘What If…’ (Season 2): Synopsis
Although the first season of ‘What if…’ was presented as a serious anthology of independent chapters, as of episode 8 (‘And if… Ultron won’) the series corrected what for some fans was proving to be a problem: after After all, the character arcs would come together in the series finale. So the main question for this second season is obvious: will the series return to the anthology format or will it lead to a linear story?
Well, neither one nor the other, as neither was the first season. But the rules of the game, which the series will deal with breaking, are still those of an anthology series. Talking with Entertainment Weekly screenwriter AC Bradley has confirmed that “going into the secure season we continue with the anthology format. They are going to be totally new stories, very funny, with new heroes.”
After the series showed us “what would happen if… the Watcher broke his oath” and the heroes of all the previous chapters formed the “Guardians of the multiverse” and defeated Ultron, the Watcher has commanded almost all the heroes of back to their respective universes. To almost everyone. So yes, we are back to the anthology format, but not quite. We know from the post-credits scene that at least the Captain Carter and Steve Rogers are more than likely to have a continuing story… and we do not rule out a return of Arnim Zola.
Marvel has announced at Comic Con details of 4 stories or chapters that will be important in the second season:
– Hela will return to the MCU
– Odin will fight the Mandarin
– Captain Carter will meet the Winter Soldier
– Tony Stark will travel to Sakaar with Valkyrie and Hulk
According to Bradley, unlike season 1 which featured “a big story arc and a feeling of always ending the world and killing everyone,” these new episodes “will focus much more on the stories of the characters and show a different side of them that people don’t expect and hopefully can identify with.”
The cast of ‘What If…'(season 2): which characters will we see?
Nor is there anything set in stone in this respect, although it is certain that Jeffrey Wright He will once again lend his voice to the Watcher as the bridge for all chapters.
From here it is all speculation. As we have already said, it is very likely that we will meet Captain Carter again (Hayley Atwell) and with Steve Rogers (Josh Keaton), and even with Arnim Zola (Tony Jones). But the idea is to introduce new characters, so in any case they will have to share the limelight. The same must be answered about the possible reappearance of Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Loki (Tom Hiddlestonn) and company. It all depends on the new stories of the season. And to Spider-Man (Hudson-Thames), will we see him again? The current agreement between Sony and Marvel is not a problem for it, so anything and everything is possible.
What if you have confirmed the showrunner it is his will to connect more this second season with Phase 4 of Marvel. “Hopefully we’ll see characters from ‘Eternals’, from ‘Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’ and ‘Black Widow’. The fun of ‘What if…’ is exploring the entire infinite multiverse. I want to play all of these characters, and as much as I love Captain Carter, we have to share that love.”
‘What If…'(Season 2): Trailer
