The ‘Very Dark’ Marvel’s What If…? Episode Fans Will Never Get To See
By RAFAEL MOTAMAYOR
After a successful first season, Marvel's “What If...?” Season 2 promised more wild stories for fans, but one episode remains unseen due to its dark nature.
Speaking with IGN, head writer A.C. Bradley discussed her unrealized script for a “very, very dark” episode that she dubbed “‘Children of Men’ with Spider-Man.”
“Children of Men” is a gloomy sci-fi story about a future world where humans have become infertile. It would have fit with the depressing storylines Spider-Man is usually given.
The second season of “What If…?” was entirely produced at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and Bradley canned the episode because the real world was already depressing enough.
