Season 3 of What If…? Promises Exciting New Alternate Universes
Ahead of What If…?’s season 3 premiere on December 22nd, Disney Plus has dropped a trailer showcasing some of the new alternate universe stories featuring slightly different versions of previously-introduced MCU characters. The season will see Shang-Chi (Simu Liu) reimagined as a cowboy, Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) in a cosmic flapper guise, and the Avengers becoming a super sentai team with interconnecting mechs. This madness adds to the show’s fun and excitement, but the biggest surprise is Storm (Alison Sealy-Smith) appearing as a hammer-wielding Thor.
Storm as Thor: A Secret Wars Connection
In Marvel’s Secret Wars comics event, Storm was part of the Thor Corps, a group recruited from various universes by Doctor Doom to police Battleworld. Initially viewed as standalone stories, What If…? is now linked to the larger Marvel universe, especially with Doctor Doom’s impending arrival and a Secret Wars adaptation in progress.
Conclusion
What If…? is evolving from a collection of standalone tales to an integral part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The upcoming season promises exciting twists and connections to the larger narrative, setting the stage for a more interconnected MCU. Fans can look forward to seeing familiar characters in new and unexpected roles, expanding the possibilities of the multiverse.
