Marvel Studios Reportedly Developing What If TV Show For Disney Plus
"Marvel Studios is reportedly developing a
What If animated series for Disney Plus, based on the comics that explore alternate Marvel timelines. While the studio has yet to announce their film release slate beyond this July's
Spider-Man: Far From Home, it's been confirmed that they are currently developing multiple TV series for Disney's upcoming streaming service (which launches in the fall). Among
the live-action Marvel Cinematic Universe TV shows that are actively in the works for Disney Plus are series about Loki, Vision and Scarlet Witch, and Falcon and Winter Soldier.
However, of all the properties that Marvel has yet to adapt as either an MCU movie or TV show, the
What If comics are one of the most intriguing. First published in the late 1970s,
What If explores how life would've changed in the Marvel Universe, had key moments in history played out differently than they did in the main canon. The comic books have explored everything from what might've happened if Peter Parker's Spider-Man had managed to save Gwen Stacy's life to how things would've changed if the
Fantastic Four had gained alternate super-abilities. Now, it appears that Marvel Studios is adapting the premise for an upcoming television series.
According to
/Film, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige is overseeing the development of an animated
What If series for Disney Plus. As one would expect, the stories on the show will not be canon to the larger MCU timeline. However, they will explore relevant stories to the MCU, including
What If Vol. 1 #47, which examined what could've happened if Loki had wielded Mjolnir rather than Thor.
