It looks like we won’t have to wait much longer before Marvel fans can enjoy the second season of What If…? Season 2. Disney+ recently revealed its full slate of holiday programming for 2023, and What If…? Season 2 was on the list! The animated series is expected to premiere in December.
Director Bryan Andrews previously talked about the new season, teasing that it gets a lot wackier and wilder than the first season:
“Obviously more unique stories that slowly get a little bit wilder. The first season Kevin wanted to keep it a little bit closer to the vest, have a little thing that was different and that little thing made these things different, but still tied very much to either a moment in the movies or a particular film itself.
“Now there’s more films and things to pull from, so we don’t have to have just a tiny moment. We can expand out and things can get a little bit wackier. We take it up a notch in season two and then in season three we just go even wackier. In season two, we have different characters that we haven’t really got a chance to play with before and we see how they’ll integrate with some of the favorites that come back. There’s lots of really cool stuff and I can’t wait for people to see it.”
There’s no doubt it’s going to be fun. We also have a list of titles of the episodes and they offer a tease of what the season will entail:
Episode 201: What If… Nebula Joined the Nova Corps?
Episode 202: What If… Peter Quill Attacked Earth’s Mightiest Heroes?
Episode 203: What If… Kahhori Reshaped the World?
Episode 204: What If… Hela found the Ten Rings?
Episode 205: What If… lron Man Crashed into the Grandmaster?
Episode 206: What If… Happy Hogan Saved Christmas?
Episode 208: What If… Captain Carter Fought the Hydra Stomper?
Episode 209: What If… The Avengers Assembled in 1602?
Episode 210 : What If… Strange Supreme Intervened?
A synopsis was previously released for “What If… Kahhori Reshaped the World?” and it reads: “What If…? asks what would happen if the Tesseract fell to Earth and landed in the sovereign Haudenosaunee Confederacy before the colonization of America. 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.”
There were also details released for the Hela episode, which sees the return of Cate Blanchett. That story involves the villain acquiring the Ten Rings from Marvel’s Shang-Chi martial arts movie. As for how the story for Hela will play out, insider CWGST offered some insight on that, saying Hela will be “kicked out of Asgard like in Thor: Ragnarök. But instead of being imprisoned in Hel, she finds herself accepted by Ta-Lo and their inhabitants, learning their martial arts. Odin will invade and war between Asgard and Ta-Lo will break out. Hela’s armor will be all white instead of black and green.”
Other big additions arriving on Disney+ in December include Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, which makes its streaming debut on December 1st, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians, premiering on December 20th.
