Marvel"s New MCU Hero Supports A Major Infinity Stones Replacement Theory

Summary

• The introduction of Kahhori in What If...? season 2 boosts the theory that MCU heroes could replace the missing Infinity Stones, with Kahhori potentially representing the Space Stone.
• While What If...?'s storylines take place in alternate realities, characters introduced in the animated series could still be important to the overall MCU Multiverse Saga.
• Kahhori's powers, linked to the Space Stone, could make her a pivotal character in Phase 6's crossover projects, potentially teaming up with other powerful heroes to protect the multiverse.

One major MCU theory has just received a boost due to the introduction of Kahhori, a new superhero, in the trailer for Marvel Studios' What If...? season 2. What If...? season 2 is set to premiere on Disney+ on December 22, 2023, releasing an episode per day for nine consecutive days, with each new episode exploring a different alternate reality in the MCU's multiverse. One of What If...?'s new universes will take audiences back to the United States pre-colonization, and will mark the debut of an original MCU superhero whose introduction could be massively important to the development of a popular theory concerning the replacement of the MCU's Infinity Stones.
What If...?'s storylines don't have much impact on the main continuity of the MCU's live-action projects, as each episode takes place in an alternate reality, with the enigmatic Watcher acting as narrator and guide. Even so, What If...?'s adventures do still take place in the MCU's multiverse, so it's possible that characters introduced in the animated series will be important to the remainder of the MCU's Multiverse Saga. For instance, Hayley Atwell's Captain Carter already made a live-action appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, so there's nothing to stop a new character introduced in What If...? season 2 having a major role in the MCU's future.
