The Marvel animated series ‘What If…?’ has allowed the viewers to travel through the multiverse and see what the MCU would look like if some of the defining moments were different. However, as season 3 is approaching, a lot of questions hang in the air, unanswered.
The third season is said to be a “very satisfying payoff” for the mysterious Watcher character voiced by Jeffrey Wright. Is this the final of the Watcher’s philosophical comments? Marvel TV boss Brad Winderbaum has opened up about the same on the Official Marvel Podcast. However, there is a catch.

What Awaits The Watcher In The Final Season Of ‘What If…?
While the concept of exploring infinite alternate realities seems endless, Brad Winderbaum suggests season 3 will feel like a “completion of a trilogy.” This phrasing hints at a potentially satisfying closure for the Watcher’s ongoing exploration.
It takes us to places that you’d never expect. “It goes beyond the first two seasons in its exploration of the multiverse, it pulls in characters that are very unexpected, and has what I think is an extremely moving and very fulfilling culmination for Uatu the Watcher,” he added.
Perhaps the events of season 3 will force him to confront a larger threat or a fundamental truth about the multiverse. The idea of the Watcher’s journey reaching a “culmination” is intriguing. Throughout the first two seasons, he has remained a detached observer, occasionally expressing frustration or amusement at the unfolding chaos. However, there have been hints of a deeper purpose.

What Could Be The Conclusion Of The Watcher In ‘What If…?‘
In the season 1 finale of the show, the Watcher seemingly breaks his vow of non-interference, tipping the scales in favor of a character who embodies hope. The story leads to further character development in season 2. Could season 3 explore the consequences of this action?
Another interesting possibility is that the “very fulfilling culmination” refers to the Watcher finally understanding his place within the vast multiverse. Perhaps he stumbles upon a hidden truth about the interconnectedness of realities, or maybe he discovers a powerful entity that threatens the very fabric of existence.
This newfound knowledge could force him to take a more active role, potentially setting the stage for future animated projects that explore different corners of the multiverse. The animated format allows Marvel to explore stories that wouldn’t be feasible in live-action. Moreover, the success of the show has undoubtedly opened doors for future projects.
Even if season 3 marks the end of the Watcher’s specific journey, it wouldn’t preclude further exploration of the multiverse.
