With some fans dismayed today with the Season Two release date falling in 2023, Marvel executives surprised during their talk today, confirming that Season Three of the story-twisting series is also already in production. Previously, The Direct reported that Season 2 of the series was expected for late 2022.
The Emmy-nominated series first premiered in 2021 and followed variants of the beloved heroes and villains of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The voiceovers feature many of the live action actors including the late Chadwick Boseman who received a posthumous Emmy nomination for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance.
The series also featured new characters like “The Watcher” voiced by Jeffery Wright, who is also nominated for the same award.
“What If …?” Season One was a hit with both critics and fans while leaving a lasting impact on the MCU going forward. Characters introduced such as “Captain Carter” were later featured in live action form in “Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.”
The most popular episode, “What If … Zombies?!,”even received a spin-off series releasing sometime in the near future. The episode was based on the comic run of the same name.

The news source elaborated the season will also include a battle between Odin and The Mandarin, a meeting between Captain Carter and Winter Soldier, and a strange team up between the Hulk, Valkyrie and Tony Stark.
