Summary
TheWhat If…?season 3 episode list allegedly leaked, hinting at what’s coming for the hypothetical-filled Marvel Studios animated show. This rumor came shortly afterWhat If…?season 2 aired on December 30.
What If…?premiered on Disney Plus in August 2021 aspart of MCU’s Phase Four, presenting standalone stories with new twists on characters and events fans already love. The only connection woven through each episode is The Watcher (voiced by Jeffrey Wright), a narrator who acts like an extension of the viewer in the universe. Marvel Studios Head of Animation Brad Winderbaum has previously said The Watcher’s character will evolve with an important story arc, particularly teasing that season 3 will dive deeper into his humanity.
While there aren’t any synopses, the Twitter account for Marvel news,Update_Marvel, shared a screenshot of the supposedWhat If…?season 3 episode titles. They may not give much information, but they provide enough to start forming ideas. The rumored eight titles are as follows:
What If Season 3 Episode Titles (Rumor)
What if…The other half blipped?
What if…Wanda watched musicals instead of sitcoms?
What if…Pietro survived Ultron?
What if…Okoye took the heart-shaped herb?
What if…Tiamut destroyed the Earth?
Episode 8
What if…Natasha Romanoff survived Vormir?
A sneak peek atWhat If…?season 3 has also been released, showing Captain America’s Winter Soldier andBlack Widow’s Red Guardianin a car chase scene with cop Bill Foster (voiced by Laurence Fishburne). Considering the anthology explores the multiverse of realities and the timeline consequences of making a single choice, it’s curious to wonder where the two characters with stark personality differences will fit together, especially considering the rumored episode titles. While the nearly three-minute clip confirms Sebastian Stan and David Harbour’s return to the characters, it’s uncertain who else may join the cast.
While noWhat If…?season 3 release date has been set aside from an ominous “streaming soon,” some believe the season could be closer than people think considering the exclusive look, which many fans brushed past, thinking it was fake. A preview this soon after season two ended also comes as a surprise because of the long gap between season one’s finale and season two’s premiere. WheneverWhat If…?season 3 is ready and titles are officially confirmed, the fanbase will no doubt be waiting, with a large part crossing their fingers that the long-time coming “What if the other half blipped?” will finally happen.
What If…?has become a minefield for theorizing fans, with the time between seasons allowing them to imagine what they’d like to see out of the episode titles that get confirmed or crafting their own episode titles. Though this show takes some thinking outside the box, some of the vastness might take some simplifying to fit into the 30-minute episode timeframe. Nevertheless,What If…?has revived the excitement toward Marvel for several fans, many even considering itthe real Multiverse Saga, showcasing comic book characters that might’ve never been in the movies or team-ups between heroes that seemed unimaginable.
What If…?seasons 1-2 are streaming on Disney Plus.
