While 2023 was an underwhelming year for Kevin Feige’s MCU, at least the cinematic giant got to end the year on a comparatively high note withWhat If…?Season 2. Despite a few hiccups here and there, overall, the sequel was a major step up from the original series released in 2021, and most importantly, it introduced the world MCU’s first original superhero.
Released two days after the jolliest day of the year,What If… Kahhori Reshaped The World?instantly became the most talked about and loved episodes of the show. Its most beloved aspect was the introduction of MCU’s first superhero, who wasn’t taken from the pages of the comics, Kahhori, and per rumors, she might be heading soon toward her live-action debut.

Kevin Feige Rumored to Bring MCU’s First Superhero Detached From the Comics to Live-Action
The sixth episode witnessed the debut of Kahhori, a young Mohawk woman, who became MCU’s first original superhero after the Tesseract crash-landed in the Haudenosaunee Confederacy of pre-colonial America. And even though moving this route to craft an original story as opposed to emphasizing single choices that led to an alternate reality was bold on Marvel’s part, Kahhori instantly became a fan-favorite. This led to fans campaigning for Kahhori in live-action, and it seems Kevin Feige might be meeting the fans’ demand as perrumorsshe might mark her live-action debut within the next four years.

Ok so she’s definitely appearing in secret wars then. Don’t see any other project where she fits unless they do an entire live action movie or show based around her.

The Original VA Is Perfect to Play Kahhori in Live-Action
Considering Kahhori’s VA voiced her to perfection inWhat If…?, getting the original voice artist, Devery Jacobs, back for the superhero’s potential live-action debut seems par for the course. Being a Canadian Mohawk herself, accompanied by her prowess behind the mic, it’s pretty possible MCU might not look past her when it comes to Kahhori’s eventual debut. Even though Jacobs isn’t playing the native superhero inEchoes, she can still reprise Kahhori in future storylines, thanks to the multiverse, if it falls in theKevin Feige-led MCU’s interests.

While it’s important to note that it’s all rumors, following the reception to Kahhori in the animated show, it’s not hard to see why it will be in Kevin Feige’s best interests to bring her for more. But with a season 3 ofWhat If…?on the cards, fans might at least get to witness her back in the realm of animation soon.
What If…?is available to stream on Disney+.
