Out of all of the upcoming 2023 MCU releases, What If… is by far the most inconsequential, as the animated anthology series had no effect on the current universe, and the first season didn’t fully take advantage of the concept. The first season was pretty spotty, with some episodes being great, some being fine, and the rest being terrible, but that hasn’t stopped fans from still being excited for season 2.
There aren’t many details on the upcoming season other than that the first episode is called “What If… Captain Carter Fought the Hydra Stomper?” (via Slash Film), and that Cate Blanchett will reprise her role as Hela (via Comicbook.com), whose only appearance was in Thor: Ragnarok. It’s great that she’s back even if it is for a one-off animated series, as Hela deserves her own MCU movie.
