Spider-Man made an appearance in the fifth episode of What If...? where he was one of the surviving characters in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. Fans have been wondering if our friendly neighbor will be making an appearance again in another episode of the series. Now, it seems like we have an answer.
During an interview with Comicbook.com, What If...? director Bryan Andrews addressed the possibility of having more Spider-Man stories in the series. He said, "Well, we can't talk too much about what may or may not be happening in Season 2. But we do love Spider-Man, so who knows what may happen in the future."
He also added, "But yeah, we dig all that stuff, so it's just a question of if we're able to do enough shows or enough seasons, who knows what we'll get. We'll definitely be able to — hopefully, at that point — either revisit characters or revisit characters in a way that we've are familiar with and then spin them even something else differently. You know what I mean? But when it comes to Season 2, we can't say anything about that stuff."
It seems that the What If...? creative team is very much interested to use Spider-Man again in the series. After all, he is a fan-favorite character and who doesn't want one of Marvel's popular heroes to be part of the multiversal stories. But then, of course, it all comes down to the story that they are going to tell if the character can fit into the plot.
The number of stories that they can tell throughout the Marvel multiverse is endless which also means there are so many ways to use Spider-Man. The good news is they are working on the second season right now so we will find out soon enough if Spider-Man will be making an appearance again in the series.
The first season of What If...? is currently streaming on Disney+.
