Marvel fans, gear up for a thrilling ride into the multiverse with the third and final season of What If…?, premiering December 22 on Disney+. This genre-defying animated series has captivated audiences with its imaginative takes on Marvel’s iconic heroes and storylines. Over eight consecutive days, new episodes will deliver fresh, mind-bending narratives that push the boundaries of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
In this season, we bid farewell to What If…?, the show that launched Marvel Studios Animation and paved the way for other animated hits like X-Men ’97 and I Am Groot. With bold new episodes and surprising character twists, season 3 promises to be a memorable conclusion to this groundbreaking series.
WHAT IF…? Season 3
Diverse and Bold Storylines
Director Bryan Andrews and Marvel Studios’ Head of Television Brad Winderbaum reveal that this season will take viewers on an unparalleled journey through the multiverse. Expect episodes packed with surprises, such as the Avengers battling a colossal threat in high-tech mech suits, a Western-themed adventure set in 1872, and an unexpected road trip featuring Red Guardian and the Winter Soldier.
“We’ve got the stompy robot episode. We’ve got the Western episode,” Andrews shared. “They don’t have to be connected to a movie and can be their own adventures.”
Storm as the Goddess of Thunder
One of the season’s standout moments is the introduction of a beloved X-Men character with a twist. Storm, reimagined as the hammer-wielding Goddess of Thunder, makes her debut. This concept, inspired by her comic book portrayal, brings a fresh perspective to the multiverse.
“She is royalty among the X-Men and among other heroes,” Andrews explained. “Seeing her in the What If…? style was exhilarating.”
Animation as a Creative Canvas
What If…? stands apart for its ability to reimagine MCU stories through animation. According to Winderbaum, animation provided the perfect medium to explore bold and experimental narratives that wouldn’t be possible in live-action.
“This show could only exist in animation, which is one of my favorite things about it,” he noted.
What Makes Season 3 Unmissable?
Groundbreaking Creativity
The series continues to explore uncharted territory, offering fans unique and self-contained stories. From mech battles to historical settings, each episode delivers a fresh and immersive experience.
A Love Letter to Fans
Both Andrews and Winderbaum describe season 3 as a labor of love, crafted to honor fans’ connection to the show. It serves as a tribute to the multiverse and the creative possibilities animation offers.
When and Where to Watch
Mark your calendars! What If…? season 3 debuts on December 22, 2024, exclusively on Disney+. New episodes will be released daily for eight days, making it a perfect binge-worthy holiday treat.
