Key Takeaways

  • Marvel’s “What If…?” Season 3 will be the final season.
  • Season 3 will feature a 1930s screwball musical episode.
  • New characters exclusive to the show will be introduced in the final season.

As someone who has been a Marvel fanatic since the days of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, I must say that I am both excited and a bit melancholic about the upcoming third season of “What If…?”. The fact that it’s the final season does give me a slight pang, but the promise of new adventures, including a 1930s screwball musical episode, has my heart racing with anticipation!

One intriguing aspect of Marvel’s “What If…?” series is that anything imaginable could potentially unfold. Characters such as Captain Britain and the Black Panther joining the Guardians of the Galaxy, zombies controlling the Marvel universe are some examples from past storylines. As we move forward to Season 3, something entirely fresh may be on the horizon.

The third season of “What If…?”, narrated by Jeffrey Wright as the Watcher, marks its end. This season promises to be an exciting finale ride for the animated Disney+ series. The writers seem determined to make this final journey extraordinary.

What’s Coming In What If …? Season 3?

Audience members are aware that Season 3 will present tales such as a road trip with Winter Soldier and Red Guardian, along with a mech battle involving a fresh Avengers team. However, following the revelations from What If …? and X-Men ‘97 writer Matt Chauncey at the 2024 Lightbox Expo, we now have a better idea of what awaits us in the upcoming season. Among the new offerings is a “1930s screwball musical.

Chauncey didn’t provide details about which characters will be in the musical episode or the storyline, but it’s not an entirely new concept for shows. Established shows often explore musical episodes as a way to offer something different from their usual content. It’s intriguing that this animated series might follow in the footsteps of others like Scrubs, Buffy, Psych, Fringe and more by featuring a musical episode, especially if it could be part of the final episode. Ending the show with a musical number could add a unique and fitting conclusion to the series.

Beyond revealing a musical episode, Chancey hinted at several surprises for the final season’s viewers. He subtly suggested that a new character, yet to be seen in comics, will debut on the show exclusively. Additionally, it’s anticipated that a character who was present before but missed both Season 1 and Season 2 will appear in Season 3. Although it remains unclear whom Chancey meant, it has been previously hinted that Moon Knight will make his on-screen debut for the first time. However, it’s uncertain if this was the character he mentioned during his presentation.

As “What If…?” prepares to bid farewell as a television show, it’s expanding its horizons across various platforms. One such platform is the Apple Vision Pro, offering an immersive VR experience, where viewers can actually immerse themselves in the animated realm of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with endless possibilities. This musical episode isn’t far off, as “What If…?” Season 3 is slated to premiere on Disney+ around 2025.
