With the arrival of What If…? Season 3 drawing closer, anticipation is reaching a peak as recent rumors hint at what lies ahead in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Among the whispers lies speculation that another mutant, aside from Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in Deadpool 3, might grace the MCU soon, and that too in What If…? Season 3.
According to a reliable inside scooper on X (formerly known as Twitter), Storm could make her debut earlier than expected in the MCU, sending fans into a frenzy. However, speculation now runs rampant about who will bring this iconic character to life.
X-Men’s Storm May Enter the MCU Sooner Than Expected
As per reports from CanWeGetSomeToast, Storm is set to make her appearance in the third season of Marvel Studios’ What If…?. This marks a significant milestone as it will be the character’s first introduction into any corner of the MCU multiverse, especially now that the X-Men franchise is under Marvel’s umbrella.
What’s more intriguing is that this debut in What If…? Season 3 is happening well ahead of any expected X-Men film in the MCU timeline, which isn’t slated until much later. While fans eagerly await the release, it’s stirring up a lot of excitement about how Storm’s inclusion will unfold in this alternate-reality narrative.
For those unfamiliar, Storm is a mutant whose mastery over weather manipulation is so powerful that she is revered as a deity by many. Her abilities allow her to control the elements with shocking precision, shaping storms of immense power at will. And her supposed appearance in the universe before her other teammates has fans excited.
Fans Speculate About Storm’s Potential Inclusion in the MCU
Storm’s inclusion in What If…? season 3 is intriguing, given the series’ nature. While fans do cherish these never-before-taken paths, the show isn’t obligated to adhere to canon or maintain consistency. Given that the actors who have portrayed Storm previously in the X-Men franchise include Halle Berry and Alexandra Shipp. Now, who will voice the character in the animated show, if Storm were to appear, will remain a mystery for some time at least, but that doesn’t restrict fans from letting their imagination run wild.
