The first season of What If…? was released in 2021. It was the first animated TV series to be made by Marvel Studios. Now, two years after the release of the largely successful anthology series, the release of the second season has been announced.
The premise of What If…? relies on the existence of the Multiverse, which was established in the MCU after Loki. The TV show was the MCU’s first major exploration of the Multiverse, as it offers stories from alternate timelines, all of which arose from past events in the MCU. The Watcher who is the lead in the show, watches over the Mutliverse and explores all the possible timelines. By the end of the first season, he takes on a more active position in the Multiverse than the one he previously held as an observer and has now created a team called the Guardians of The Multiverse, a team made up of heroes from different timelines. In this article, we cover some of the things to expect from the upcoming season.
