Recently, some thrilling details emerged at the 2024 Lightbox Expo from X-Men ’97 and What If…? writer Matt Chauncey, hinting at a unique “1930s screwball musical”episode.

In addition to the musical episode revelation, Chauncey teased that at least one character exclusive to the series—never seen prior in comics—will make an appearance this season. Additionally, a previously existing character, who did not show up in Seasons 1 or 2, will join the fray in Season 3. Although the identity of this character remains a mystery, it was hinted that Moon Knight might be making his debut, though it’s unclear if he was specifically mentioned by Chauncey during his talk.
As What If…? prepares to conclude its run, it is also extending into new mediums, including an exciting Apple Vision Pro exclusive VR experience that immerses users into the animated Marvel Cinematic Universe. Fans won’t have to wait much longer for the musical episode, which is slated to premiere on Disney+ in 2025.
