Marvel Studios has unveiled the synopses for two episodes of the upcoming Marvel’s What If…? Season 2. Both episodes will center around two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most underrated characters.
Below are the complete plot descriptions for each episode which will debut on respectively on December 22 and December 24.
Episode 1: “What If… Nebula Joined the Nova Corps?”
“In a world where Ronan deposes Thanos long before the events of “Infinity War,” Nebula is recruited to join the Nova Corps. Desperate to escape her father’s shadow, she sets out to prove her detective chops.”
Episode 3: “What If Happy Hogan Saved Christmas?”
“When Justin Hammer lays siege to Avengers Tower during the annual holiday party, there’s only one person left on site to stop him—Happy Hogan. But in setting out to prove his hero chops, Iron Man’s errand boy may end up transforming himself in more ways than one.”
What to expect in What If…? Season 2?
“The Watcher continues the journey as our guide through the vast multiverse, introducing brand-new and familiar faces throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe,” reads the Season 2 synopsis. “The animated anthology 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.”
What If…? hails from head writer AC Bradley and director Bryan Andrew, who are both serving as executive producers. While Season 1 covered events from the Infinity Saga, Season 2 is expected to adapt stories and feature characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 4. The series is led by Jeffrey Wright as the voice of The Watcher.
Set to return on December 22, Season 2 will premiere one new episode every day for nine days in a row.
