As I write this, we’re nonetheless just a few hours away from studying the decision to the cliffhanger that Episode 8 of Marvel’s What If left issues on. The menace was large enough to hazard the whole multiverse, however I suppose issues work out okay, as a result of the studio has confirmed a second season.
EW.com spoke to AC Bradley, head author for the collection, asking her the place the collection can be going from right here and what to anticipate. She had extra solutions than you may assume, because it seems the scripts for Season 2 have already been written. The renewal was handed down months in the past and simply wasn’t introduced till now.
AC says in distinction to the immense, universe-devouring stakes current within the Season 1 episodes, a lot of the Season 2 scripts will give attention to extra private conflicts. “[It will] focus much more on the character tales and these heroes and displaying a distinct facet of them that folks don’t count on and hopefully they will relate to,” AC says.
You can even count on to see characters in Season 2 you didn’t meet in Season 1 — as in, characters that have been simply added to the MCU in latest months in addition to characters but to be formally added. Shang-Chi, the forged of the Black Widow film and the Eternals have been talked about by identify.
As for the finale…and you’ll skip this paragraph in the event you’ve already seen it…AC says the climax will contain extra than simply Evil Physician Unusual. All types of characters we met within the earlier seven episodes will cease by to assist in the ninth. Captain Carter, Killmonger and even Celebration Thor (apparently his official identify) will crew up towards the Infinity-powered Ultron.
Initially, although, that model of Unusual wouldn’t have been accessible to recruit. AC revealed that unique script was a lot darker and ended with Unusual being crushed to loss of life by the Eye of Agamotto. It was modified on the storyboard stage, however AC says Disney and Marvel have given the present a light-weight leash, permitting her and the crew to take the MCU wherever they need.
Marvel’s What If is streaming now on Disney+.
