Marvel Studios has released the first trailer for What If...? Season 2, and the next installment of its animated anthology series looks awesome! This next season is going to deliver some pretty wild stories in the multiverse that fans are going to enjoy! This seriously looks like it’s going to be a blast to watch!
Season 2 is set to premiere on Disney+ on December 22nd. The series consists of nine episodes, and a new episode will be released daily. So, every day until December 30th, we will get have a new episode to watch.
The trailer features Hela, Captain Carter, Scarlet Witch, Iron Man, Black Widow, Doctor Strange, Nebula, Peter Quill, and more. There’s also a first look at the new Native American character Kahhori in action. Check out the trailer below!
Director Bryan Andrews previously talked about the new season, teasing that it gets a lot wackier and wilder than the first season:
"Obviously more unique stories that slowly get a little bit wilder. The first season Kevin wanted to keep it a little bit closer to the vest, have a little thing that was different and that little thing made these things different, but still tied very much to either a moment in the movies or a particular film itself.
"Now there's more films and things to pull from, so we don't have to have just a tiny moment. We can expand out and things can get a little bit wackier. We take it up a notch in season two and then in season three we just go even wackier. In season two, we have different characters that we haven't really got a chance to play with before and we see how they'll integrate with some of the favorites that come back. There's lots of really cool stuff and I can't wait for people to see it."
There’s no doubt it’s going to be fun. We also have a list of titles of the episodes and they offer a tease of what the season will entail:
Episode 201: What If... Nebula Joined the Nova Corps?
Episode 202: What If... Peter Quill Attacked Earth's Mightiest Heroes?
Episode 203: What If... Kahhori Reshaped the World?

A synopsis was previously released for “What If... Kahhori Reshaped the World?” and it reads: “What If…? asks what would happen if the Tesseract fell to Earth and landed in the sovereign Haudenosaunee Confederacy before the colonization of America. The Tesseract takes on a new life and a new mythology, transforming a lake into a gateway to the stars and leading Kahhori, a young Mohawk woman, on a quest to discover her power."
There were also details released for the Hela episode, which sees the return of Cate Blanchett. That story involves the villain acquiring the Ten Rings from Marvel’s Shang-Chi martial arts movie. As for how the story for Hela will play out, insider CWGST offered some insight on that, saying Hela will be "kicked out of Asgard like in Thor: Ragnarök. But instead of being imprisoned in Hel, she finds herself accepted by Ta-Lo and their inhabitants, learning their martial arts. Odin will invade and war between Asgard and Ta-Lo will break out. Hela’s armor will be all white instead of black and green."
