Marvel Studios’ Brad Winderbaum teased the third and final season of What If…?, promising unexpected characters, and many other intriguing details.
After solving the multifaceted threat of the Strange Supreme (Benedict Cumberbatch), what if the second season…? It ends with Captain Carter (Hayley Atwell) from Marvel Studios and Disney+ asking the viewer (Jeffrey Wright) to show her what the Multiverse has to offer.
The closing of the multiverse trilogy
With its third and final season on the road, Marvel Studios head of streaming, television and animation Brad Winderbaum assures fans that this finale will bring a fitting close to the original and animated series at Wright State University. “It looks like the conclusion of the trilogy,” Winderbaum said on this week’s episode of the Official Marvel Podcast. “It takes us to places you’d never expect. It goes beyond the first two seasons in exploring diversity. It introduces some very unexpected characters and has what I think is a very touching and very satisfying ending for the audience.”
The second season featured episodes written by Brian Andrews (eps 2-9) and Stefan Frank (ep 1) and by Ace Bradley (eps 3, 4, 5, 8), Matthew Chauncey (eps 1-3, 7, 9). and Ryan Little (eps 6, 8) The animated series is executive produced by Brad Winderbaum, Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Bryan Andrews and AC Bradley.
Season 2 of the series continues its journey as it takes viewers through the vast multiverse, introducing new and familiar faces in the MCU. The series questions, revisits and twists classic moments from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with many stars reprising their iconic roles with incredible voice acting. Featuring fan-favorite characters such as Nebula, Hela and Happy Hogan this season, the episodes will be directed by executive producer Brian Andrews, with AC Bradley serving as head writer.
Expectations for the final season
Brad Winderbaum suggests not only unexpected characters, but also a deeper exploration of diversity that surpasses past seasons. This could include not only new versions of familiar characters, but also the introduction of heroes and villains we’ve never seen on screen.
Season 3, according to Winderbaum, is designed to deliver an emotionally rich experience that resonates with fans. Referring to the series as a trilogy, it suggests that each season carefully builds to a surprising and satisfying finale. Not only does this trilogy fit into Marvel’s narrative structure, it also emphasizes the importance of each season in the development of Uatu the Watcher.
A view of the future
As fans eagerly await the arrival of season three, it’s interesting to guess which characters might show up for unexpected events. Marvel’s vast roster of characters and the ability of the Multiverse to bring out different versions of these characters opens up endless possibilities.
We can see alternate versions of famous heroes such as Spider-Man, Iron Man or characters that have only appeared in comics until now. This series’ ability to explore the unexpected keeps fans hooked and intrigued even more.
The impact on the MCU
The animated series proved to be not only alternate stories; It influenced the larger MCU by introducing concepts and characters that could be integrated into future live-action productions. Each episode has the potential to influence the wider narrative of the MCU, and this influence is expected to continue into the third season.
The addition of unexpected characters not only enriches the series, but can also lay the groundwork for future stories in Marvel movies and series. This intertwining is part of the MCU’s charm and keeps fans on their toes for each new development.
What if the third and final season…? It promises to be an exciting and emotional close to its own series, exploring the limitless possibilities of the multiverse. This final season is going to leave us all on the edge of our seats with amazing characters and a deep exploration of the unknown.
