‘What If…?’ Season 2 Trailer: Marvel’s Multiversal Animated Series Returns With A 9-Episode Daily Run This December

The old saying goes, “Timing is everything.” Well, if that’s the case, this probably isn’t the best timing for Marvel Studios to release a new season of the multiverse-iest multiverse show to ever multiverse, “What If…?” After nearly a full year of people complaining about the Multiverse Saga leading to superhero fatigue and the first signs of weakness in the giant that is Marvel Studios, it appears 2023 is going out with a bang.

As seen in the trailer for “What If…?” Season 2, we get a tease of what is to come in the upcoming nine episode batch. After Season 1, we already know what to expect with this animated series. Each episode is mostly self-contained, telling a very unique story that exists somewhere in the MCU multiverse. Each story comes from answering a basic question, “What If…?” Apparently, that answer in Season 2 leads to some crazy situations involving some sort of “Mad Max”-esque death race, the return of Hela, a team-up between the older generation of legacy heroes, and a brand-new character that has never before been seen in any Marvel product—including comic books.

And what makes “What If…?” extra special is how Marvel Studios brings back many of its biggest A-list stars to voice these new versions of their characters. You should probably expect plenty of surprise appearances, as well. 

The second season of “What If…?” debuts on December 22 with a new episode arriving each day after until all nine episodes have been released. You can watch the trailer below.

Here’s the synopsis:

Season two of “What If…?” continues the journey as The Watcher guides viewers through the vast multiverse, introducing brand new and familiar faces throughout the MCU. The series questions, revisits and twists classic Marvel Cinematic moments with an incredible voice cast that includes a host of stars who reprise their iconic roles. Featuring fan-favorite characters this season like Nebula, Hela and Happy Hogan, episodes are directed by executive producer Bryan Andrews with executive producer AC Bradley as head writer.
