The leaked episode titles for What If...? season 2 suggest that it will continue to offer twisted wish fulfillment storylines, just like the first season.
The titles hint at captivating storylines, like Peter Quill's assault on Earth's Mightiest Heroes and Kahhori's world-altering transformations, which generate excitement and curiosity among fans.

Marvel Studios' What If...? season 2 appears to be continuing the trend of offering twisted wish fulfillment episodes, just like its first season. A leaked list of episode titles for the upcoming season suggests potential troubling developments for the beloved superheroes in this popular superhero franchise. In its first season, What If...? presented alternate Marvel stories by exploring different possibilities based on the question it posed. The all-seeing Watcher served as the narrator, giving viewers glimpses into parallel timelines where a single decision led to entirely new and unfamiliar narratives. Some notable examples included Peggy Carter becoming a super soldier, Chadwick Boseman's final performance as T'Challa as Star-Lord, and a compelling zombie apocalypse storyline. If this leak is accurate, What If...? season 2 is set to follow the same pattern and present equally intriguing ideas for fans to enjoy.
CanWeGetSomeToast, a respected insider in the industry, has shared what could possibly be the official episode titles for the second season of "What If...?" on their Twitter account. Similar to the first season, these titles appear to clearly convey the concept of each episode. Among them is an intriguing episode titled "What If... Peter Quill Attacked Earth's Mightiest Heroes?", where the Guardians of the Galaxy's Peter Quill challenges the Avengers. What could be the reason behind this unexpected conflict?
Here are the potentially leaked episode titles:
Episode 201: What If... Nebula Joined the Nova Corps?
Episode 202: What If... Peter Quill Attacked Earth's Mightiest Heroes?
Episode 203: What If... Kahhori Reshaped the World?
Episode 204: What If... Hela found the Ten Rings?
Episode 205: What If... lron Man Crashed into the Grandmaster?
Episode 206: What If... Happy Hogan Saved Christmas?
Episode 208: What If... Captain Carter Fought the Hydra Stomper?
Episode 209: What If... The Avengers Assembled in 1602?
Episode 210: What If... Strange Supreme Intervened?
While it's easy to imagine Peter, who is known for his daring and impulsive nature, finding a way to challenge the heroes, there are other leaked episode titles that provoke even more curiosity. Take for instance, "What If... Hela discovered the Ten Rings?" This raises intriguing questions about how she would come across them and what implications it would have for Shang-Chi without that iconic relic. Perhaps the writers took a creative approach, brainstorming ideas and crafting a fascinating story from it.
"What If... Kahhori Reshaped the World?" is perhaps the most intriguing story, catching everyone off guard as it was not anticipated for What If...? season 2. Kahhori, a fresh character made exclusively for the series, is a young Mohawk woman from the Native American community. She stumbles upon the Tesseract after its descent on Earth within the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, prior to colonization. Marvel unveiled this episode in March, highlighting its unique attribute of being entirely in the Mohawk language through collaboration with the Mohawk people.
Even with just three episodes, the range of subjects covered is already extensive. However, it is important to note that the accuracy of this information has not been confirmed by official sources, except for the premise of the Kahhori episode. Additionally, the upcoming episode titled "What If... Happy Hogan Saved Christmas?" adds to the excitement. With the delightful concept, Kahhori's narrative, and the much-awaited return of Captain Carter, it appears that What If...? season 2 will persist as the perfect comfort series for devoted Marvel fans.
What If...? season 1 is available to stream on Disney Plus, with season 2 potentially set to release in December 2023.
