What if? The first full-length musical in the Marvel Cinematic Universe will appear in Season 2, if the rumoured names for the upcoming episodes of the animated anthology series are to be believed. One of What If…? Season 2’s episodes is titled “What If…?Wanda Had Grown Up Watching Musicals Instead of Sitcoms,” according to a post on X by The Nerd Rage Podcast. If true, this means that the episode in question would recreate the events of the Disney+ series WandaVision, but with musical theatre parodies in place of the show’s tributes to various decades’ comedies.With this, “What If…? Wanda Had Grown Up Watching Musicals Instead of Sitcoms?” would become the first full-length musical episode in the MCU canon, replacing the Rogers: The Musical clip that appeared in Hawkeye in 2021. However, it’s important to note that Marvel Studios has yet to announce that What If…? Season 2 has a musical episode, so for the time being, this rumour should only be seen as pure conjecture.
The rumoured appearance of Strange Supreme, a pivotal figure from Season 1 of What If…?, in Season 2 is equally speculative. It’s unclear how the corrupted Master of the Mystic Arts is intended to fit into the anthology series What If…?, but at least one reliable web source suggests that Stephen Strange’s evil alternate-universe counterpart will return in the second season. What If… Season 2 has yet to officially confirm Benedict Cumberbatch’s participation, which raises more doubts about the rumoured return of Strange Supreme. More information on What If…? However, they are more specific in Season 2. Notably, images of a companion action figure recently went viral online, revealing Steve Rogers’ (Josh Keaton) enhanced Hydra Stomper armour in the second episode of the animated anthology series. The updated battlesuit varies from its predecessor in a number of ways, including a jetpack and a silver and red colour scheme. Rogers himself has experienced a big cosmetic change as well; the Captain America version who used to be clean-shaven now sports a beard.
Fans of the MCU will undoubtedly be anxious to see Rogers in his new Hydra Stomper armour, but they might have to wait longer than expected. According to a recent source, What If…? has been dropped by Marvel Studios and Disney. Release of Season 2 has been postponed until December 2023 as part of a larger MCU streaming schedule overhaul.
