Marvel is reportedly set to produce an animated series based on the popular “What If?” comics for the upcoming Disney+ streaming service.
Reported by /Film, the What If? comics are essentially theoretical stories that are created as fun, fan-service issues that had no bearing on any Marvel canon or continuity – and the Disney+ series will reportedly operate the same way.
One issue in particular, What if? Vol. 1 #47 – What if Loki had found the hammer of Thor? – was signaled out as one episode sources claim will be made. MCU head Kevin Feige will reportedly oversee the show, which could potentially feature vocal talents of the live-action MCU actors reprising their roles in animated forms. Like the comics, the series will reportedly act as an anthology, with each episode revolving around an entirely different premise.
