How Marvel’s What If? TV Show Will Bring Fans’ Wildest Fantasies to Life

What If?

When Doctor Strange used the time stone on Titan to look at the possible outcomes of the battle against Thanos, he saw around 14 million alternate futures; that was just for the possible outcomes of one battle. Now imagine if all major events that have occurred in the MCU had a different twist – what if Loki could wield Mjolnir? What if Peggy Carter got the super-soldier serum? What if Steve Rogers was iron man?

Such are the types of questions Marvel’s upcoming TV series ‘What If?’ will answer. Based on the comic books of the same name, the show will delve into how some of the most iconic MCU would have turned out if some key details were altered or switched.
