‘What If…?’ May Be Over, But Kahhori’s Story Will Continue

Marvel Studios’ What If…? may have ended its run on Disney+ after three seasons, but the series could still have ramifications for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

What If…? explored the vast reaches of the Marvel multiverse, giving fans a new take on some of their favorite characters. The lasting impact of the series, however, may be its introduction of Kahhori in Season 2.

Who Is Kahhori?

Introduced in the episode What If…? Kahhori Reshaped the World, Kahhori is a young Mohawk woman who gained superpowers after falling into Tesseract-infused Forbidden Lake. After being transported to the Sky World, Kahhori eventually returned to her village and defeated the Conquistadores.

In later episodes of What If…? Kahhori teamed up with Captain Carter to stop Strange Supreme. She would later join the Guardians of the Multiverse.

Although Kahhori was a What If…? original character, the hero would make her Marvel Comics debut in Kahhori: Reshaper of Worlds #1.

Kahhori’s Story Will Continue

While What If…? has come to an end, according to Marvel’s Head of Streaming, Television, and Animation, Kahhori’s story is just getting started.

“I love Kahhori, and she’s popping off in the comics now. She started to enter publishing and is just a really exciting character,” he told ComicBook.

“I think there’s a future for that character. We’ll see where she lands next. But she’s a big part of this season and a big part of the What If tapestry. And it shows the What If scenarios don’t always have to be like, ‘What if a character did this instead of that?’ That’s one of my favorite episodes because it’s born of an odd object landing in a different place at a different time, and all of a sudden that birthed a new hero.”

Will the Hero Make the Jump to Live Action?

While it remains to be seen what plans Marvel has for Kahhori, it sounds like the character will live on beyond What If…?

With the Marvel multiverse set to come together for the events of Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, perhaps we will see the character make the jump to live action.
