LEGO is reportedly planning a new series of mystery minifigures based on Marvel Studios' Disney+ TV shows, and it was thanks to those we learned about Spider-Man's possible inclusion in What If?.
Bizarrely, the premise of that episode appears to be "What if Steve Rogers became Spider-Man?" This could mean that the Super Soldier Serum and however the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Peter Parker gained his powers (which has never been explored on screen) will be linked in some way.
Whatever the case may be, Spidey's involvement has seemingly been confirmed in the latest issue of Disney's D23 Magazine.
Shared by The Direct, it's said that Spider-Man: Far From Home is among the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies the upcoming animated series will be pulling from. It's too soon to say what that means for the show, but we probably shouldn't be surprised that Sony Pictures was on board with the concept, as their relationship with Disney has really solidified since that brief parting of the ways.
There were once some pretty wild rumours that Tom Holland might lend his voice to a Peter who became Hawkeye, so this trip into the Multiverse is clearly about to take us to some crazy places.
What would be really cool is if What If? ends up tying into Spider-Man: No Way Home, somehow...
