The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), although slowed down by recent shortcomings, has not lost steam and is set to release a third season of their animated series, What If…?. The studio is focusing on quality over quantity which is shown in their decision to continue some of their most beloved intellectual properties (IPs).
A Peek into What If…? Season 3
Marvel Studios recently presented fans with a preview of the upcoming season of What If…? The first look seems promising, stoking anticipation among fans. The big news, however, is that the subsequent season could potentially see the X-Men’s appearance for the first time, all the more intensified when the character Storm holds Thor’s Mjolnir.
Storm’s Stint with Mjolnir
The twitter handle @CanWeGetToast recently stated that in the upcoming season of What If…?, the X-Men’s Storm might hold and exercise the power of Mjolnir. Only a select few characters deemed worthy, such as Captain America (played by Chris Evans) and Jane Foster (played by Natalie Portman), have held the Asgardian weapon, traditionally belonging to Thor (played by Chris Hemsworth).
The X-Men in the MCU
While there isn’t a substantial amount of information available just yet, it’s increasingly clear that the X-Men will soon be integrating into the larger MCU framework, interacting with its array of superheroes.
Anticipated Returns and New alliances in What If…? Season 3
Alongside this exciting news, MCU’s released stills hint at Anthony Mackie (Captain America) and Sebastian Stan (The Winter Soldier) reprising their roles. David Harbour will be seen as The Red Guardian alongside Bucky Barnes, and Monica Rambeau, played by Teyonah Parris, will join them in the vast universe of MCU.
In the spirit of unpredictability, it’ll be intriguing to see what other surprises and shifts in narratives the third season holds for fans. The new season promises fresh alliances, unexpected plot twists, and classic MCU thrills, all of which make it a highly anticipated release on Disney+ in 2024.
With the series’ capacity to pry open alternate realities and follow tangential storylines that would be impossible in a standard MCU arc, fans are eagerly waiting for this imaginative extravaganza. Will Storm wielding Thor’s Mjolnir become a future reality in the MCU canon or will it remain in the What If…? universe only? Only time will tell. Stay tuned with Digital Chew for future updates and news on all things MCU.
