Marvel has released the full list of episode titles for What If…? Season 2, teasing multiversal consequences for some of pop culture's most famous heroes and villains.
The rundown of upcoming animated episodes was shared on X/Twitter. Unlike episode titles for most other shows, these names essentially tell viewers what they can expect each outing to cover.
The nine-episode season looks to continue the trend of bringing interesting twists on Marvel Cinematic Universe stories while still offering more playful one-offs, too. One of the episodes that seems like it will take itself more seriously is Episode 5, “What If…Captain Carter Fought the Hydra Stomper,” which will likely carry on from a Season 1 plotline. Meanwhile, Marvel fans can probably expect somewhat lighter tones from “What If…Happy Hogan Saved Christmas?”
The full list of What If…? Season 2 episodes and their release dates can be seen below:
· December 22 - What If…Nebula Joined the Nova Corps?
· December 23 - What If…Peter Quill Attacked Earth’s Mightiest Heroes?
· December 24 - What If…Happy Hogan Saved Christmas?
· December 25 - What If…Iron Man Crashed Into the Grandmaster?
· December 26 - What If…Captain Carter Fought the Hydra Stomper?
· December 27 - What If…Kahhori Reshaped the World?
· December 28 - What If…Hel Found the Ten Rings?
· December 29 - What If…The Avengers Assembled in 1602?
· December 30 - What If…Strange Supreme Intervened?
At the What If…? Season 2 premiere, Marvel Studios shared more about what superhero fans can expect from the upcoming animated series' new season. In addition to promises that the show would resolve Season 1’s big cliffhanger, the comic book company said viewers can look forward to seeing familiar villains return, and new heroes make their debut.
As we stated in our What If…? Season 1 review, we came away a bit let down by the spinoff Disney+ show’s first batch of episodes. While its highlights flesh out MCU with new perspectives, we found that “the show attempts to be both an anthology and a serial and, in trying to do so, suffers from some disappointing structural oddities.”
