However, A. C. Bradley, the big shot behind What If…?, recently revealed on Twitter Iron Man’s original 2023 return plans for Season 2. He disclosed,
“The missing Season 1 episode! A well-done Tony Stark variant has great, fun dynamics with Korg, Gamora, Valkyrie, & Jeff Goldblum’s hilarious Grandmaster. Variant characters are well-written. I’d love to revisit them after that ending! More Iron Man.”
Meanwhile, the fans threw their thoughts around on social media, especially around that link to Iron Man 3.
