Marvel Studio boss Kevin Feige has announced that the first episode of the animatedWhat Ifseries will tackle what if Peggy Carter received the super-soldier serum and turned intoCaptain America. TheWhat Ifcomics were a Marvel staple back in the 1970s and always brought characters or situations together, which would likely never happen in an ordinary comic storyline. Loki taking Thor’s hammer? No problem. How about Spider-Man joining the Fantastic Four? That happened too.
TheWhat Ifseries is going to allow Marvel to get pretty crazy with the animated series, which will bring a whole new dimension to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With that being said, the MCU is far from being neglected by Disney+. In addition to the official confirmation of theWhat Ifseries, it has also been confirmed theFalcon & Winter Soldierseries is officially happening and it has been reported aHawkeye series starring Jeremy Renneris up next with his Clint Barton character passing the torch to Kate Bishop.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is about to change forever withAvengers: Endgame. It’s the official end of the MCU’s Phase 3 and will usher in the beginning of Phase 4, which officially starts withSpider-Man: Far From Homethis summer. With the addition ofDisney+, we’re going to be treated to long story arcs, which will be closer to the comics and Kevin Feige is really excited to get these new stories told in a way that isn’t possible on the big screen. Plus, it’s believed all of these new shows will have a significant budget behind them to keep everything uniform with the MCU.
Disney+ is shaping up to be a monster. It isn’t clear when theWhat Ifanimated series will debut, but heFalcon & Winter Soldierseries is expected to drop within the streaming platform’s first year. While many were expecting Disney to take it easy and grow, they are going straight for Netflix and Amazon with an assortment of original content and iconic vault material from the history of the studio. It’s really pretty crazy to think about and it’s going to be very interesting to see how everything works out when Disney+ debuts later this year.The Hollywood Reporterwas the first to announce theWhat Iffirst episode storyline details.
