In addition to the live-action films and series from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the animated series What If…? Alternative stories from the superhero universe have been on Disney+ for 2 seasons. Now a recent interview with the showrunner has surfaced in which he talks about a scrapped Spider-Man idea for What If…? speaks. It sounds promising, but will probably be banned forever.
Unrealized What If story sounds like the darkest Spider-Man material
What If…? showrunner and screenwriter AC Bradley went through the various episodes of season 2 with IGN. He also talked about an episode that was not implemented. It sounds like a dark Spider-Man story probably too hard for everyone would have been:
It felt like the world had already ended and we didn’t need to add anything more. And so it became a kind of escape and a fun escape. However, I wrote an episode that will be put away forever and it was very, very dark. I called it ‘Children of Men with Spider-Man’.
Children of Men is probably the best sci-fi film of the last 20 years. The action takes place in a hopeless future in which no more children will be born. The protagonist is supposed to bring the last pregnant woman on the planet to safety.
