What If...? finally returned to Disney+ a few days ago with its second season and, so far, we've been taken on another wild ride through the Multiverse. The animated series has put wild new spins on characters like Nebula, Star-Lord, and Happy Hogan, but what's next for the MCU's many Variants?
The marketing campaign for this one has been a tad muted (screeners weren't sent out to the press until the day before the premiere aired, leading to fewer reviews than normal but a still impressive 92% Rotten Tomatoes score) and we only now have synopses for the remaining instalments.
Based on what we're seeing here, it sounds like we're getting another two-part finale with that trip to 1602 leading into the return of Strange Supreme and a battle with mysterious "Universe Killers." Will What If...? finally shed some light on what's to come in the Multiverse Saga? We'll see, but we doubt Kang is showing up...a missed opportunity, to be sure.
Here are the synopses for the next six instalments of the Disney+ series (via ComicBookMovie.com).
