Is there a future for What If…? on Disney Plus? The head of Marvel Television offers his ideas on if the present will get a season 4.
After three years (and an odd quantity of amorous relations with water fowl), What If…? has lastly come to an finish. While followers have grown a bit chilly to Marvel’s flagship animated collection in current weeks, there was at all times a sense that the mission may go on eternally with its distinctive idea. This left followers hoping that, whereas the present was marketed to be coming to an finish with season 3, there could also be hope for it to proceed into season 4 and past.
Yet it appears as if, despite the fact that the idea of What If…? may go on eternally, Marvel at all times had plans to deliver its overarching story to an in depth. When talking about the potential of a season 4 to The Geekcentric Podcast, producer Brad Winderbaum defined that, whereas the collection was at all times meant to be an anthology, the story of Uatu the Watcher has come to an in depth with season 3.
“We always looked at it as, it’s an anthology first and foremost, but that it would have an overarching narrative, especially when it comes to Uatu and his story as the Watcher and his struggle. Even though all three seasons culminate by the finish line, it is a slow burn and kind of keeps that anthological element of the story throughout, but if you look at the final episodes of each season as kind of a Watcher Act 1, Act 2, Act 3, I think it does stand alone as a Watcher story.”
Will What If…? Tie Into The MCU’s Multiverse Saga?
Hearing that there are at the moment no plans for What If…? to get a season 4 is for certain to be a blow for followers who noticed potential within the Disney Plus collection, particularly because it seemingly had little-to-no influence on Marvel’s multiverse saga. Yet persevering with on, Brad Winderbaum revealed that What If…? has had impacts on the broader MCU which have but to be revealed.
“And in terms of tying to the MCU, we do follow very closely the mythology that’s being set up for the multiverse as the MCU unfolds. Whether it’s kind of the revelation that the multiverse exists or the idea that it’s all now harnessed by Loki sitting in the center of the multiversal tree of stories, or, you know, as will be revealed over time why this was the perfect moment to culminate ‘What If…?’ in its third season.”
Given What If…? launched a key staff to the multiverse on the finish of season 3, it’s sure there shall be impacts felt throughout the MCU, particularly as Marvel enters the endgame of its multiverse saga. And given how drained followers have gotten of the multiverse gimmick lately, it might be finest to finish the collection on a (relative) excessive notice as an alternative of continuous to chug alongside for six seasons and a film on Disney Plus.
