Wed Dec 25 09:50:00 UTC 2024: ## What If…? Concludes its Multiversal Journey with a Bang in Final Season

**LOS ANGELES, CA** – Marvel Studios’ groundbreaking animated series, *What If…?,* is set to conclude its run with a third and final season, premiering December 22nd on Disney+. The eight-episode season will feature daily releases, promising a spectacular send-off to the multiverse-spanning anthology.

Director Bryan Andrews and Marvel Studios Head of Television Brad Winderbaum expressed bittersweet feelings about the show’s conclusion, highlighting its significance as the launchpad for Marvel Studios Animation. Winderbaum stated that *What If…?* was the foundation for subsequent animated projects like *X-Men ’97*, *Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man*, and *I Am Groot*.

Season three promises ambitious and wildly diverse storylines. Episodes will feature the Avengers in high-tech mech suits battling a colossal threat, a Western-themed adventure set in 1872, and an unexpected road trip pairing the Red Guardian and Winter Soldier. The season will also introduce a unique take on a beloved X-Men character: Storm, the Goddess of Thunder, wielding Mjolnir. This storyline emerged from Winderbaum’s work on *X-Men ’97*, inspired by a classic comic book arc.

Andrews and Winderbaum emphasized the season’s ambition and the creative freedom afforded by the animated format, allowing for stories unbound by live-action constraints. They hope the final season delivers a fitting and memorable conclusion to the *What If…?* universe.
