Marvel's What If...? - General Discussion

[Venom 1988]

My assumption is this episode was intended for S2 but wasn't done, but far enough to use the clip to tease S3

That's correct. In late 2022, the full storyboards for 3 episodes leaked online. One of them was for the 1980s Avengers, another involed Surtur as the main focal point (which I'm also assuming also got pushed to season 3) and the 3rd focused on Red Guardian (which this scene matches up to those leaks).

I see that Devery Jacobs was cast as Kahhori in What If, but then she was also cast in Echo as a completely different character. What's the idea of casting her in Echo or as Kahhori? If Kahhori were to become a bigger character in the MCU, then surely they could've also saved her for the live action version instead of being a minor character in Echo?

I have a feeling with all this what if promotion, there probably gonna release it again this year in December. Not sure what the viewership was for season 2, but it seems the daily drops worked out for them.
