The MCU has started exploring the multiverse withDoctor Strange 2, Tom Hiddleston’sLokiseries,Spider-Man: No Way Home, and theWhat If…?animated series. There’s more to come withDeadpool 3, which is also rumored to be about exploring the Marvel multiverse further. However, it can’t be denied that out of all these projects, it is the animated show that doesn’t get much attention from fans.
The first season ofWhat If…?did exactly what the name said. Every new episode veered off slightly from the events presented in the multiverse, and from there, the sequence of events wildly changed. We saw Agent Carter get the super soldier serum, Doctor Strange lose Christine Palmer, and more. Now there’s more coming, and that too before season 2 arrives.
What If…?Books Make Loki Worthy And Transform Moon Knight Into Venom
Random House Worlds is exploring Marvel’s multiverse further with new What If…? stories. In these new books, fans will get to see Loki wield Mjolnir, the Scarlet Witch andSpider-Manbe siblings, and Moon Knight become Venom’s host. The official press release from the publishing house states that each of these stories will be set in their own unique universes in Marvel’s multiverse.
Here’s what the press release says:
“This officially licensed series reimagines the origins of iconic Marvel heroes and allows readers to discover what can happen when the fabric of reality is altered. Set in their own distinct universes in the Multiverse, each book focuses on a unique twist on an iconic Marvel origin story.”

The Loki story is up first, and the synopsis of the book is interesting. It mentions that in this story, Thor dies while saving New York as a result of a prank byLoki. Odin then banishes him to Midgard, where Valkyrie tracks him down with an odd request. But that’s not all. Tony Stark is tired of the Gods being callous, so he’s coming to Asgard to get his revenge. A part of the summary reads:
“What if Loki saved Asgard from Tony Stark’s revenge?… Iron Man vows revenge on those who consider themselves gods… He’s set on eradicating any tether between their worlds. Consequences be damned. When Asgard looks to Loki for salvation, he must answer the question: Am I truly worthy?”
Fans are excited about the books and can’t wait to dive into an alternate tale of the MCU canon events.
