There are many times when a particular figure just leaves an effect on you without your understanding why or how. Erik Killmonger, played by Michael B. Jordan was one among those characters. The actor who played Erik Killmonger in Marvel Studios’ Black Panther, Michael B. Jordan, recently used social media to post a highly cryptic…
Marvel’s animated series “What If…?” premiered on Disney+ last summer and was an immediate hit with fans. The series flips the script on the MCU, reimagining famous events from the films in unexpected ways. The show was nominated for 3 Emmys and renewed for a second and third season. Now the director of the “What…
It’s long been assumed that it is impossible to use the Infinity Stones, or at least the comic book version of them, freely throughout the Marvel multiverse. This has been the presumption since at least 2003, when Darkseid obtained the Infinity Gauntlet during the “JLA/Avengers” comics crossover event, but tossed it aside after realizing the stones…
“What If…?” Episode 8 delivers Marvel fans to yet another alternate reality with “What If… Ultron Won?” The episode, which remixes the ending of “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” depicts a world in which that film’s titular villain successfully manages to transfer himself into the Vision’s body before subsequently nuking the entire planet. Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) and…
Episode 7 of “What If…?” centers around Thor, marking the character’s second appearance in the animated series. This time, things worked out a lot better for the God of Thunder, who unfortunately met his demise in Episode 3 along with the rest of the Avengers. In this story, we see the outcome of what would…
“What If…?” Episode 7 gives fans a surprisingly fun episode as “What If… Thor Were an Only Child?” shows how different the God of Thunder is without having Loki (Tom Hiddleston) in his life during his formative years. He turns into the ultimate frat bro, and his wild parties are capable of destroying planets. SHIELD…
“What If…?” is one of the most ambitious projects taken on by Marvel Studios thus far. The series reexamines the MCU as we know it by altering different moments, which results in entirely different storylines. In Episode 4 (“What If… Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead of His Hands?”), the Ancient One explains to Doctor…
While the first five episodes of “What If…?” have focused on very specific, yet markedly different alternate universe scenarios, it appears that the show’s future intends to twist the multiverse into an even stranger pretzel — perhaps even by combining the elements of the previous shows. The sneak peek teases the return of characters like…
A new rumor from the Cosmic Circus suggests that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will pick up two years after the events of WandaVision. Since Avengers: Endgame took place five years after Thanos’ snap in Avengers: Infinity War, the present-day MCU is circa-2023; and it’s well-established that WandaVision occurs in the wake of both snaps. What’s interesting is that – on Disney+ – the timeline…
After two devastating episodes of “What If…,” we were dealt another blow with a third tragic storyline the fifth week into the series. Episode 5 saw a zombie virus take over the planet, as Earth’s Mightiest Heroes did their best to stop it. A majority of the original Avengers are wiped out from the virus,…
Throughout all of the “What If…?” episodes, there are easter eggs scattered about for MCU fans to eat up. Episode 5 (“What If… Zombies!?”) is full of nods to former properties in the universe, and it even features a fun reference to Harry Potter. On the Marvel end of things, Episode 5 includes a famous…
In Episode 2, the choice had a little more humor behind it. We find out immediately when the episode begins that T’Challa is Star-Lord — who in our reality is Peter Quill — after he was wrongfully kidnapped from Earth by the Ravagers. Instead of doing it himself, Yondu let Kraglin and Taserface find and…
The beauty of the animated Disney+ Marvel series “What If…?” is that it offers us the possibility to see all sorts of wild and new incarnations of the characters we’ve already come to love. Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) will take up a shield to become Captain Carter, for example, but we’ll also see new versions…
