The multiverse is only getting madder… <\/p>

Marvel fans have just taken another whirlwind trip around the multiverse courtesy of What If\u2026? season 2<\/a>, which has been a daily gift for Disney Plus<\/a> subscribers through this year\u2019s festive season.<\/p>\n

What If\u2026? stands out among the rest of the wide-spanning MCU line-up, given that it\u2019s the only animated series and the sole anthology, with (almost) every chapter focusing on a different central figure.<\/p>\n

The nine new episodes include returns for Jeffrey Wright\u2019s The Watcher and Hayley Atwell\u2019s Captain Carter<\/a> as well as an introduction to brand new Mohawk hero Kahhori (voiced by Reservation Dogs star Devery Jacobs).<\/p>\n

With the MCU on somewhat wobbly footing at the moment, due to underperforming entries and cast controversies, fans may be wondering whether there will be space for more What If\u2026? in the future. Here\u2019s what we know so far.<\/p>\n

Will there be a Marvel\u2019s What If\u2026? season 3?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Yes! In July 2022, Deadline<\/a> confirmed that Marvel\u2019s What If\u2026? had been renewed for a third season, long before the second run had even dropped a single episode.<\/p>\n

When could Marvel\u2019s What If\u2026? season 3 be released?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

That\u2019s a tougher question. Back in August 2021, as the first season was premiering on Disney Plus, executive producer Brad Winderbaum told Collider<\/a> that the team\u2019s \u201cintention\u201d was to make What If\u2026? an \u201cannual release\u201d.<\/p>\n

Of course, that strategy quickly flew out the window (season 2 arrived almost two and a half years later), with Winderbaum adding in the same interview that animation takes \u201ca long time to produce\u201d.<\/p>

If Marvel\u2019s What If\u2026? keeps to a similar schedule, it\u2019s possible we won\u2019t see season 3 until\u00a0late 2025<\/strong>, but with an early renewal and the recent resolution of Hollywood strikes, there\u2019s hope it could arrive just a little sooner.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll update this page as soon as more details are announced.<\/p>\n

Who could be in the cast of Marvel\u2019s What If\u2026? season 3?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s no confirmation of who will appear in Marvel\u2019s What If\u2026? season 3 just yet, although we\u2019d bet that Jeffrey Wright will return as The Watcher \u2013 whose commentary is the common element of each episode.<\/p>\n

There could also be reprisals for Hayley Atwell, Benedict Cumberbatch and Devery Jacobs \u2013 three of the most prominent members of the season 2 voice cast \u2013 but that\u2019s only speculation for now.<\/p>\n

Behind the scenes, it appears that What If\u2026? will be losing its season 1 and 2 head writer A.C. Bradley, who shared on X in July 2022 that the show\u2019s second outing would be her \u201cfinal project [at] Marvel Studios\u201d.<\/p>\n

This is my final project @MarvelStudios<\/a> !! It\u2019s been an adventure. All my \u2764\ufe0f to our brilliant cast & crew!
