The MCU, despite slowing down its operations in recent times due to the negative reception and failure of its projects on the big and small screens, has not stopped entirely and is now pushing for more quality offerings instead of the sheer quantity that they were doing in the recent past.

Therefore, continuing their most successful and beloved IPs, they will be releasing the third season of their animated seriesWhat If…?in the future.
In fact, Marvel Studios has even pushed out a first look at what the upcoming season of the show will hold for the fans. And with those important pieces of stills and information, fans are anticipating yet another successful season ahead.

But along with that, new reports suggest that in season 3, we might also get a glimpse at the X-Men for the first time, which will further be elevated when Storm gets a hold of Thor’s Mjolnir and wield it.
Storm Will Be The Third MCU Character To Hold Mjolnir InWhat If…?Season 3
It’s been well-known in the MCU that only the worthy and the deserving get to hold Mjolnir, the Asgardian weapon wielded by the God of Thunder Thor, portrayed byChris Hemsworthin the franchise. During the progression of the larger narrative, we have seen worthy wielders of the Hammer, likeChir Evans‘ Captain America inAvengers: Endgameand Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster, while Thor’s sister Hela did so with a complete and utter display of power.
And now, it seems like another character from the pages of Marvel Comics will hold the weapon in their hands in the future with the release ofWhat If…?Season 3.
