Summary
- Marvel's first original superhero, Kahhori, could return to the MCU after making her debut in What If...? season 2.
- Kahhori's best opportunity for her live-action return is in Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027, where many Marvel characters from alternate realities are expected to appear.
- If Kahhori returns to the live-action MCU, her original voice actor, Devery Jacobs, should reprise the role, as she received praise for her portrayal in What If...? season 2.
Marvel Studios' first original superhero could return to the MCU following her powerful debut in Phase 5's What If...? season 2. What If...? season 2 broke a release trend for Marvel Studios, premiering an episode every day for nine consecutive days over the 2023 Holiday period. However, the series continued season 1's pattern of exploring alternate realities and variant characters, including Peggy Carter's super-soldier Captain Carter, a twisted Doctor Strange Supreme, the Avengers team of 1988 and a version of Hela who became a hero after experiencing Ta Lo's mysticism. What If...? season 2 also debuted the MCU's first original superhero, who could have a bright future ahead of her.
While most of What If...?'s episodes begin with a single choice changing the storyline of the MCU, What If...? season 2, episode 6, "What If... Kahhori Reshaped the World?," marked a huge divergence from what viewers know of the franchise. After the Tesseract crash-landed in the Haudensaunee Confederacy of pre-colonial America, a young Mohawk woman is transformed into the MCU's first original superhero, Kahhori. Imbued with the powers of the Space Stone, Kahhori quickly mastered her new gifts, later using them in What If...? season 2's finale to help the enhanced Captain Carter in battle against Strange Supreme, and it's possible she could make the move to the live-action MCU.
The MCU's First Original Superhero Completely Retcons 1 Infinity Stone's Powers
The MCU has introduced its first completely original superhero in Kahhori in What If...? and retconned an Infinity Stone power in the process.Secret Wars Is Kahhori's Best MCU Return
While there are several possible avenues for Kahhori's return to the MCU, the best opportunity for her to spring back into action would be in 2027's Avengers: Secret Wars. Phase 6 and the Multiverse Saga's final project is expected to be featuring many Marvel characters from a variety of alternate realities, with the likes of 20th Century Fox's X-Men and Fantastic Four, several Spider-Man-related characters from Sony, and characters introduced in MCU's animated stories all suspected to be returning. This could create the perfect opportunity for Kahhori to make her live-action debut, just as Hayley Atwell's Captain Carter did before her in 2022's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
There are several other places that Kahhori could reappear in the MCU, aside from her likely appearance in Marvel Studios' What If...? season 3. It's possible that the multiversal adventure of Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine in 2024's Deadpool 3 could bring some characters from What If...? into the MCU, including Kahhori. Kahhori's Native American roots could also connect organically to the upcoming Echo series, though an Infinity Stone-powered superhero might not fit with the grounded nature of Echo. Kahhori hasn't yet been confirmed to be returning to the MCU, but it would be great to see her use her varied gifts in Marvel Studios' live-action future.
Marvel Already Knows Who Should Play Kahhori
If Kahhori is brought into the live-action MCU after What If...?, the hero's original voice actor should be the one to reprise the role. Canadian Mohawk actor Devery Jacobs voiced Kahhori in What If...?, ahead of her upcoming live-action appearance as Bonnie in Echo. The details of Jacobs' role in Echo are unclear, but if this is a smaller role, it's possible she could return as Kahhori in a future storyline. Jacobs has been celebrated for her portrayal of Kahhori in What If...? season 2, so she would be perfect to portray the character in live-action, though there are any number of incredible Mohawk actors who could assume the role.
