What If? is an animated anthology series that, as the title suggests, revolves around alternate timelines in the multiverse.

Does What If Tie into the MCU?
What If is linked to the MCU.
Yes, What If? is linked to the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). Created by A. C. Bradley for the streaming platform Disney+, the series is an anthology animated series based on the Marvel comic book series of the same name. Also, it’s Marvel Studios’ fourth TV series and the studio’s first animated series.
Because the MCU is a mythological universe in its own right, each part of the universe contributes to the whole. The reciprocal references between the films and TV series increase the coherence and unity of the universe, as well as its credibility. Moreover, in this way, the MCU creates a metastory that is valid and acceptable in all MCU movies and TV series.
Thus, it can be said that Marvel’s What If? presents its viewers with a multiverse that both contains elements from other MCU movies and also refers to them. In this way, Marvel fans enjoy seeing numerous possibilities of events that have happened in the different MCU movies over the years.
