Most of these are fairly self-explanatory, with familiar riffs on what happened in the official MCU canon. Where it gets really interesting is stuff like the 1602 episode, which will presumably tell stories set in 1602, the Marvel Universe alternative history comic written by Good Omens and The Sandman‘s Neil Gaiman. We have to wonder whether, given the colonial setting, that version of the show might end up using some British actors for their Marvel superheroes, rather than the voice actors who are tackling the rest of the season.
And, of course, we have to assume that there’s going to be some fun times in the Iron Man episode, which reads like a return to the Ragnarok timeline. Will he finally have to say he’s sorry to Thor for the whole Point Break thing?!
According to Marvel Studios’ official synopsis, “Season two of “What If…?” continues the journey as The Watcher guides viewers through the vast multiverse, introducing brand new and familiar faces throughout the MCU. The 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. Featuring fan-favorite characters this season like Nebula, Hela, and Happy Hogan, episodes are directed by executive producer Bryan Andrews with executive producer AC Bradley as head writer.
What If…? Season 2 debuts on Disney+ on December 22nd. What If…? Season 1 is streaming now on Disney+.
