What would happen if…? (What if…?) has not yet been released and is already giving something to talk about. This series will explore different possible scenarios within the Marvel Cinematic Universe that did not occur, but that, perhaps, were a possibility. It will be the first animated series that Marvel Studios and Disney develop together.
It enters into the package of productions that began with WandaVision (Matt Shakman, 2021), Falcon and the Winter Soldier (Kari Skogland, 2021) and Loki (Kate Herron). Along the way, Marvel and Disney also released Black widow (Cate Shortland, 2021). Of course, the trailer for What would happen if…? He turned the fans’ gaze on the miniseries.
The series, at first, draws attention for being an animated production, one of the classic genres associated with the stories of superheroes. Added to this is the wide range of options that could be addressed. As if that were not enough, an authorized voice linked to the project commented that rule out developing some of these stories as production live action.
The future of the miniseries, live action?
Responsible for the comments was the executive producer of What would happen if…?, Brad Winderbaum. During an interview for Reverse, the representative explained, “We wanted each story to be able to open and close in that half-hour period, but it’s hard not to imagine more chapters with some of these characters,” he said, in relation to the length of the chapters.
To the above, he added: “I hope that one day we can see more adventures in some of these alternate timelines.”. This would make sense, considering that in comics and other productions those scenarios continue to unfold as well. Why not do it on television or in the movies?
To strengthen his idea, Winderbaum argued: “All you have to do to prove it is look back and see how many stories of What would happen if…? they ended up in the main continuity of the comic book universe. My feeling is that something similar could also happen in the cinematographic aspect ”.
What is known about What would happen if…?
What would happen if…? It will address different possibilities, based on events that have occurred and that have been addressed in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. One of the most obvious is the twist that the story of Peggy Carter receives, who ends up receiving the super soldier serum and plays Captain America.
Like that example, it is likely that the series offers many more, until building a relationship between Tony Stark and Erik Killmonger, who rescues him from an attack. It’s about recreating different possibilities and seeing what would have happened. After Brad Winderbaum’s statements, another universe of possibilities opens up in relation to whether or not these narratives will directly influence the different narrative arcs that have already been developed. Or if, if they continue, they will do so according to their own story.
