Marvel Is Reportedly Developing A WHAT IF Animated Anthology Series For Disney+

We had been told to expect some animated content for Disney+, and now a new report suggests that Marvel is currently developing a What If anthology series for the streaming service. More past the jump...

According to /Film, Marvel is in the process of developing a What If animated anthology series for Disney+. Apparently, the show will be overseen by Kevin Feige but will not be in canon with the Marvel Cinematic Universe - and if you're familiar with the comics, you'll know why.

What If will re-imagine certain key moments and scenarios in Marvel history to see how things might have played out if some significant detail had been altered. For example, What If What if Thanos joined the Avengers?, or What if Professor X had become Juggernaut?

We don't which, if any, of the existing comic stories the series will adapt, but “What if Loki had found the hammer of Thor?” is expected to be covered.

The report speculates that some MCU actors might reprise their roles for What If, but no other solid details are provided. More info should come our way soon, either at the upcoming Investors Meeting on April 11, or at San Diego Comic-Con in July.

@Doomsday8888 - It's pretty awesome! I never really got into the comics much as a kid, but this should end up being pretty dope! I'm excited!

Damn Disney sure know how to make the most of this IP. They're not milking it, they're utilising it like the pros they are. Hope they start treating Star Wars the same way.

Doubt it. But this would be awesome. You can’t get Chris Evans to do a show but maybe an episode

@StarlordsDad - id imagine just sound alikes if its animated. EMH got a pretty good rdj voice for iron man. It can be done.

If Thanos joined the Avengers who would they fight? And Loki finding the hammer instead of Thor would be so sick. This reminds of Red Sun (I think thats the name) it’s where Superman landed in Russia instead of Kansas or something like that.

@Frshcoupe - pretty similar yes. Red son is an elseworlds story, which is basically the dc equivalent of what if on Marvel's side. So you can even have other characters assuming the mantle of different heroes or even something like what if civil war never ended.

@Origame - At this point, pretty much everything DC puts out is and elseworlds story.
