WHAT IF...? Producer Says the Series Picks Up Right After LOKI and Has the Same Repercussions as the MCU Series
What If…? may have come across as a fun, but inconsequential series that just poised the question of what if this or that happened differently in the MCU. But that is not the case at all according to executive producer Brad Winderbaum, who talked about the scope of the show during a virtual press event attended by ComicBook, saying:
"It's no coincidence that the show picks up right after Loki…The multiverse has erupted in every possible direction," Winderbaum said, adding Marvel Studios' first animated series "gives us a chance to explore that."
He went on to add:
"I think that without going into great detail, I can tell you that What If…? — as a project, as a story that exists in the MCU — is as important as any other and is woven into that tapestry."
We should have known better. Of course What If…? is another important piece in the big MCU picture. This gets me a little more invested in the weight of the series. Are you looking forward to watching and finding out how What If…? will impact the future?
What If…? is set to start streaming on August 11th on Disney+.
