Marvel fans were left speculating earlier this year when rumors surfaced suggesting that the popular What If…? series might be wrapping up after Season 3. However, a recent interview with Marvel Studio’s Brad Winderbaum, Head of Streaming, Television, and Animation, has shed some light on the future of the show. While Winderbaum does not explicitly label the upcoming season as a conclusion, he does hint that it could mark the end of The Watcher’s story.
In a recent appearance on the Official Marvel Podcast, Winderbaum teased What If…? Season 3 as the culmination of a trilogy centered around Jeffrey Wright’s Uatu, also known as The Watcher. Describing it as a journey that surpasses the boundaries set by the first two seasons, Winderbaum expressed excitement about the exploration of the multiverse in the upcoming installment. He also mentioned the inclusion of characters that viewers would not typically anticipate, promising an emotionally resonant conclusion for Uatu the Watcher.
The conclusion of Season 2 saw Uatu teaming up with Captain Carter, played by Haley Atwell, as she implored him to reveal more of the multiverse before returning her to her original reality. While it remains uncertain whether this dynamic will be further explored in Season 3, there is speculation about the show’s future beyond The Watcher. In the What If…? comic book series, Uatu served as the narrator before segueing into narratives without a central host or storyteller. This departure could indicate a potential direction for the show if it continues beyond the upcoming season.
The anticipation surrounding What If…? Season 3 continues to grow as Marvel has yet to announce an official release date for the new installment. As fans gear up for the upcoming chapter in the What If…? series, the promise of new dimensions, unexpected character appearances, and the possible conclusion of The Watcher’s narrative arc add layers of excitement and intrigue to the show’s evolving storyline. Stay tuned for further updates as Marvel unveils more details about the highly-anticipated Season 3 of What If…?
