The latest rumor surrounding the upcoming second season of What If…? suggests that the misguided Strange Supreme will make a grand return.
One of the most popular characters to appear in What If…? Season 1 may be returning for the show’s next installment.
Per scooper CanWeGetSomeToast on X, the magical monstrosity that fans have dubbed Strange Supreme will be back for Season 2. No further information was provided but the series’ first chapter concluded with the corrupted Master of the Mystic Arts promising to keep watch over a bubble dimension that imprisoned Killmonger and Amin Zola, both of whom were trapped as punishment for their role in creating Infinity Ultron. It’s worth noting that neither Disney nor Marvel Studios has verified the claims so a grain of salt is recommended.
Rumors regarding What If…? Season 2 have swirled for months with some fans beginning to question whether the next chapter in the anthology saga will ever arrive. Writer A.C. Bradley said in early 2022 that the show would return that same year but as of the time of writing the second chapter has yet to premiere. Disney recently confirmed that it was moving What If…?‘s next batch of episodes into 2024 but did not supply a reason as to why. Some suspect it was postponed due to the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes but this is pure speculation.
What to Expect in What If…? Season 2
Shortly after the conclusion of What If…? Season 1, the show’s creative team began discussing what audiences could expect in the next chapter of the story, specifically in relation to the post-credits scene focusing on Captain Carter returning to her own timeline. “Well, I was just saying that our twist endings are fun, but a post-credit scene is a promise to the audience,” Bradley said. “And Peggy and Steve, come on, they’re the OTP.” The writer also confirmed that Season 2 will also deal with some of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 4 movies. “Hopefully, we’ll see hints of Eternals and Shang-Chi and the Black Widow characters,” she added. “The fun of What If…? is that we get to explore the entire infinite multiverse, so we try to bounce around as much as we can. I want to play with all these characters, and as much as I love Captain Carter, we’ve got to share the love. I’m very excited to show new worlds, new heroes.”
What If…? Season 1 is now streaming on Disney+. Season 2 is expected to arrive in 2024.
