WHAT IF...? Season 2 Head Writer Confirms She's Leaving The Disney+ Series

What If...? season 2 wrapped up yesterday and Head Writer A.C. Bradley has taken to social media to announce her departure from the animated MCU TV series. 

Revealing that the season 3 episode revolving around Red Guardian and The Winter Soldier - you can watch an extended clip here - will be her last script for the show, Bradley explained, "After season two, I made the decision to move on from Marvel. It's been a fun ride, but it's time for new adventures and mediums."

This news comes as a surprise, particularly as we previously heard that the plan is for What If...? to only last three seasons. All three batches of episodes were developed in relatively quick succession, so we doubt it will feel too different when it likely returns to Disney+ next year. 

Bradley wrote the What If...? episodes "What If... Captain Carter Were The First Avenger?," "What If... Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead of His Hands?," "What If... Thor Were an Only Child?," "What If... The Watcher Broke His Oath?," "What If... Iron Man Crashed into the Grandmaster?" and "What If... Captain Carter Fought The HYDRA Stomper?" 

She also co-wrote "What If... The World Lost Its Mightiest Heroes?" and "What If... Happy Hogan Saved Christmas?" with Matthew Chauncey, and "What If... The Avengers Assembled in 1602?" with Ryan Little.

Bradley was also a consulting producer on Ms. Marvel and co-wrote a couple of teleplays for the critically acclaimed Disney+ series. It's unclear what her next project will be and who is going to take over as What If...? season 3's Head Writer/showrunner. 

Take a look at Bradley's comments, including why season 2 didn't get too dark, in the X posts below.

A transition would be good. Would like to see a more expansive storytelling that doesn't just rehash the same characters we've already seen. Lots of reference material in the What If comics. Would love to see based on the original eXiles run.
