Are you caught up on both seasons of Marvel’s What If…?
If not, I’ve been recapping all the episodes on our sister site, MarvelBlog. And season two was MUCH better than season one!

So, this franchise has forward momentum, with a third season and spinoff, Marvel Zombies, in progress.
Now, Disney will modernize the concept in the most quasi-futuristic manner possible.

The two companies made several pre-launch deals, including one for Disney+.

In fact, Disney took the extraordinary step of making several of its titles available in 3D on the service.
Similarly, you’ll find several immersive backdrops based on Disney franchises in Apple Vision Pro.

In a perfect world, new hardware like Apple’s would blend perfectly with Disney stories and possibly even park experiences.
Alas, there’s just one problem. The Apple Vision Pro isn’t selling well at all.

What Apple needs is a hit, something that can drive hardware sales. And Disney’s stepping up with a new idea.

As is often the case with initial project announcements, the details about the What If…? experience are sparse.
Disney describes the What If…? hourlong interactive experience this way.

To me, that sounds a lot like the way Marvel’s What If…? has used Peggy Carter as the protagonist in the animated series.
I say this because you’re not The Watcher in this environment but rather taking an active role, much as Captain Carter has done.

Frankly, this What If…? interactive event sounds amazing, albeit short, with 60 minutes of game time.
All you’ll need is a lousy $3,500 to play What If…? – An Immersive Story.
