WHAT IF…? T’Challa Episode Inspired Black Panther 2, Kevin Feige Says

Chadwick Boseman‘s performance as T’Challa for the What If…? series originally inspired the second Black Panther film. However, the actor passed away at the age of 43 in August last year after a battle with cancer, which ultimately changed all of the studio’s plans for the film.

In What If…? second episode, we are introduced to a T’Challa who becomes the Star-Lord of Guardians of the Galaxy instead of Peter Quill.

This version of the character is immensely more fun than the original movie version. But, according to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, Chadwick Boseman would like it implemented in Black Panther 2.

During the Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings premiere on Monday (15), Feige recalled when Boseman brought up the idea:

“Somebody’s probably spoken about this already, but he came in, he read the episode that airs whenever it is, 24 hours from now, and then came back and said, ‘I really love this version of T’Challa.’

And we had a conversation after that with Ryan [Coogler, director of Black Panther 2] about how do we get some of this voice – none of the storyline – but just some of that voice into Panther 2.

And now, of course, it is remarkably sad and bittersweet, but I’m very happy we have it, I’m very happy he did it for us, and I’m excited for the fans to see it as well.”

And fans, of course, can watch the What If…? episode, available on Disney+ on 18. August.

Meanwhile, without Chadwick Boseman, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the sequence for one of the biggest hits of the MCU will feature the returns of Angela Bassett, Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke, and Martin Freeman.

Filming began last month in Atlanta (USA), according to producer Kevin Feige. There are rumors that Namor (King of Atlantis) would be in Black Panther 2, which may bring a conflict between Wakanda and Atlantis.

However, the information has not yet been confirmed by Marvel Studios.

The film is scheduled for July 8, 2022, promising to honor Chadwick Boseman in various ways.

The 10 Best WHAT IF…? Rated Comics Of All Time

PopCorn Princess 2021-09-13

Currently streaming on Disney+, Marvel’s What If…? invites us to see the Marvel Cinematic Universe from another perspective. Small events lead to significant changes in a big cascading effect that can impact the entire universe. So we learn what would happen if zombies existed, if Doctor Strange had become a villain, or if all the Avengers had died.

Of course, this concept came up in the What If…? comics, which have since had several different volumes and versions. And the idea is the same: stories that twist a single event within the Marvel Universe and cause a significant change in everything we know about its vast chronology. And here, you’ll see some of the best What If…? stories in comics!

What If Magik Became The Supreme Sorcerer? – What If? Magik #1

Many stories in the What If…? series seek to change small things to create enormous consequences. The special issue released in 2018 brings an even bigger perspective to what would happen to Illyana Rasputin if she had left her family and friends behind.

In this reality, after leaving the X-Men, the heroine focuses on developing her mystical gifts by seeking the help and training of Doctor Strange himself. Eventually, she takes her master’s place as the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth, becoming even more powerful and well-resolved.

What If Doctor Doom Had Become a Hero? – What If? Vol. 1 #22

Doctor Doom is one of Marvel’s most fascinating villains – no wonder many fans consider him one of the publisher’s best characters and are very eager to see him incorporated into the MCU. However, in this particular story, we are introduced to an alternate reality in which Victor Von Doom becomes close friends and allies with Reed Richards.

The two work together, and Doom’s experiment turns out to be a success. He then studies the mystical arts and even manages to stop Mephisto and rescue his mother’s soul from the hellish realms. He becomes a beloved leader in Latveria, but all does not end well when he is driven to make a bargain with Mephisto again – and the story ends very darkly, showing that he is not as much of a hero as the title implies.

What If Elektra Had Lived? – What If? Vol. 1 #35

In April 1982, Frank Miller gave us one of the darkest stories in Marvel Comics, when Bullseye mercilessly murders Elektra. Then, in October of the same year, he presents fans with a happier alternate universe where this murder does not happen since the villain never gets out of jail and never goes after the Man Without Fear.

The universe where Elektra stays alive is much more positive, especially for Daredevil. Miller makes a point to show that Matt Murdock does not lose his faith in humanity and remains an “up” and fun hero. Eventually, the two need to escape Kingpin’s pursuit and decide to start a new life elsewhere.

What If Someone Else Besides Spider-Man Had Been Bitten by The Radioactive Spider? – What If? Vol. 1 #7

For many years, it was impossible to think of a Spider-Man other than Peter Parker. And while in recent decades, we have met characters who have proven their worth in the arachnid’s mantle. This particular story leads us to examine what would happen if Flash Thompson, John Jameson, or Betty Brant had been given these gifts.

The three stories take place in different universes and bring haunting changes in the lives of each of the new Spideys. For example, Betty Brant gives up her career after stopping a murder, Flash Thompson becomes a murderer, and John Jameson dies because he doesn’t have Peter’s intelligence. Peter Parker develops a special serum to become the Spider-Man we know and love in each of these stories.

What If Starring Spider-Girl – What If? Vol. 2 #105

May “Mayday” Parker is a beloved character to many fans who grew up reading Marvel stories in the 1990s and 2000s. She comes from another reality, known as MC2, and is the daughter of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson in that universe, inheriting her father’s arachnid powers and becoming Spider-Girl.

Many people don’t know that the stories of this alternate version began in the What If…? which outlines what would happen if Mary Jane hadn’t suffered a miscarriage. After a dark encounter with Norman Osborn, Peter gives up being a hero, but his daughter continues to carry on his legacy – even against his wishes.

What If Captain America Were Revived Today? – What If? Vol. 1 #44

In the 1960s, Captain America was rescued from the ice and incorporated into the Marvel Universe as we know it, bringing back all his legendary moral fiber to inspire generations of heroes. However, in this terrible universe, the hero was frozen until 1983. When he is revived, and comes across a “fake” of himself walking around.

It turns out that this “other” Captain America is not as noble as Steve Rogers and becomes obsessed with “defeating communism in America at any cost.” To do this, he proclaims various fascist policies and turns the United States into an authoritarian, totalitarian state. Eventually, Rogers joins the resistance and defeats the impostor, proving why he is called the Sentinel of Liberty.

What If The Dazzler Had Become The Herald of Galactus? – What If? Vol. 1 #33

Sometimes all we need to do is accept the ridiculousness of certain premises and indulge in a fun story – and that is what happens here, in a universe where the all-powerful Galactus chooses Dazzler, the mutant and pop star, to be his new herald. Gifted with cosmic powers, she travels the universe seeking planets for her master.

At first, we see the mutant – who can convert sound into the light – increasingly horrified by all the death and destruction that the Devourer of Worlds brings with him. Then, however, she falls in love with Galactus, which generates a series of very… peculiar questions. It’s a story without an ounce of good sense. Yet, great for those who want to see the “messier” twists of the What If…? label.

What If The Thing and The Beast Continued to Mutate? What If? Vol. 1 #37

Unlike the MCU, where everything is family-friendly to avoid scaring the younger audience, Marvel comics now and then decide to go down a route of pure horror and misery. In this double story, The Thing and The Beast undergo even more violent transformations.

The Beast continues to suffer various mutations, losing his intellect and turning into an animal-like creature – all while the character’s suffering becomes more and more evident. On the other hand, The Thing has a happier ending, as his body experiences so many transformations that in the end, the stone plates simply “fall off,” and he becomes Ben Grimm again.

What If Phoenix Had Not Died? – What If? Vol. 1 #27

Written by Frank Miller, this is one of the most brutal stories to ever come out of this title, where a complete subversion of the Dark Phoenix Saga takes place. If you’ve read that mutant epic, you know that at the end, Jean Grey sacrifices herself to end the Dark Phoenix’s reign of terror, leaving her allies behind as a token of love for the team and the universe.

However, in this comic, she does not sacrifice herself, and the Dark Phoenix begins to grow even more insatiable. She then destroys planets, asteroids, and even a star. Finally, angry, she kills the young Kitty Pryde and confronts all her team members – even her beloved Cyclops. In the end, Phoenix consumes the entire universe with her flames.

What If The Fantastic Four Had Not Gained Their Superpowers? – What If? Vol. 1 #36

Some people are destined to become superheroes, with or without superpowers. This is the case for Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Ben Grimm, and Johnny Storm, as we see in a What If…? special issue. In this story, they do not go into space and thus do not gain their fantastic powers.

Still, the story shows how they never needed that to be quite a team. Instead, we get to see the Fantastic Four using alternative ways to stop terrible villains and strange creatures from destroying our world. The comic even recreates the confrontation in the group’s first comic, where they must face a grotesque monster, even without powers.

The True Story of Black Panther and Storm In The Comics

PopCorn Princess 2021-08-24

Black Panther, made eternal with Chadwick Boseman’s performance, showed the true extent of an African king’s power in the Black Panther (2018) film.

When British actress Michaela Coen was announced in the sequel, it immediately raised fans’ hopes of seeing one of Wakanda’s most beloved queens on the big screen – Storm, the powerful mutant from the X-Men.

Black Panther and Storm have a torturous history in the comics, full of romance and misunderstandings.

The couple’s story was told in different ways as it passed through the hands of new Marvel writers. But one thing is sure: Both T’Challa and Ororo Monroe are one of Marvel Comics’ most beloved superhero pairs.

Time to learn more about how their story unfolds.

How Did Black Panther Meet Storm?

The first meeting between Black Panther and Storm initially took place in 1980, in Marvel Team-Up #100. At that time, the editors felt it was natural to combine their two most fantastic African characters in a single issue. And this was the comic book that promoted the union of the publisher’s greatest heroes to the delight of their fans.

Ororo rescued T’Challa when they were both teenagers. She spent time alone in the Egyptian deserts after her parents were killed in Cairo. Ororo was forced to steal to survive, and soon she decided to seek a better future in Kenya, her mother’s country.

On her journey, she spotted a young man in what looked like a kidnapping. Without hesitating, she rescued him using her temporal powers.

The boy was none other than T’Challa, future King of Wakanda, who traveled outside his country as part of his training as a Black Panther. The pair soon developed a strong friendship, but they had to go their separate ways.

Years later, the writers who took on the character at the Civil War saga decided to retell their story so that Ororo was saved as a helpless maiden.

The good thing about this later version is that it better explains what happened after this encounter. In the Storm mini-series, we see T’Challa tending to Ororo’s injuries after saving her from an attack by some villains.

They develop feelings for each other and only end up drifting apart so that T’Challa could assume his responsibilities to his people, and Storm could follow her dream of saving Kenya from famine and drought, where she was worshipped as the goddess of the winds and rains.

After they parted, Ororo wandered the deserts once again. She was now bringing water to those in need and saving villages from trouble. Because she arrived from the heavens with salvation, her fame as a goddess grew.

Eventually, Ororo joined the X-Men as the heroine Storm. T’Challa became King of Wakanda and a member of the Avengers. But, despite always being in each other’s minds and hearts, they have never met since until Civil War.

Are Storm and Black Panther Married?

Civil War was Marvel’s most significant event in a long time. Hero versus hero. Two sides of a political war that began with a mutant incident.

Of course, spirits were running high among Marvel’s characters, and the story writers needed some event that would force both sides to stop and sit down together once again. That’s when the wedding of the century happened – the union of King of Wakanda and the X-Men’s Goddess.

It may seem a bit rash to talk about marriage when they didn’t even have a relationship… not to mention dating… but that’s how it happened…

In Black Panther #14, T’Challa and Ororo met again after a long time. They had a little chat, and in the following issue came the marriage proposal. Yes, in Black Panther #18, Black Panther and Storm got married.

Their wedding took place during the Civil War Cease-Fire Event, and most of the Avengers and X-Men attended, regardless of how they felt about the Superhuman Registration Act. T’Challa even had a bachelor party with Wolverine and other guests in Rio de Janeiro.

Ororo wore a stunning dress at the ceremony, complete with a cape with traditional African ornaments and rubies. Sue Storm, the Invisible Woman from Fantastic Four, was the bridesmaid for the wedding, and Kitty Pryde was the maid of honor.

To ascend the Wakandan throne, she needed the blessing of Bast, the Panther God, protector of the royal lineage, who agreed to the union. As a gift to his beloved, T’Challa reunited Ororo with her lost parents.

In the end, everything worked out, and the two were finally able to live their love story.

And despite everything, they worked very well together. Black Panther and Storm are very idealistic heroes who fought on the same side against the Superhuman Registration Act, so we can say that the couple agreed on a lot.

The Queen of Wakanda’s status was very beneficial to the mutants. As monarch, Ororo was able to do much more for their cause. Likewise, T’Challa gave his full support to his beloved’s fight, putting his nation at the service of the mutant cause.

The problem is that the writers had little idea how to keep them together, considering that their separate stories already worked very well as they were.

Ororo would defend the mutants to the end, while T’Challa would die for Wakanda. These were the events the writers needed to separate the two a few years later.

Are Black Panther and Storm Still Together?

The first blow to their relationship was in the Avengers vs. X-Men event. For obvious reasons, Ororo and T’Challa fought on opposite sides of that war. Their ideals were no longer so aligned, and when the X-Men called, the mighty Storm had to attend.

And it was on one of these missions to support the mutants that tragedy struck. The final straw that ended this relationship was an Atlantis attack on Wakanda (a story that may be adapted into Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2021) film).

The Phoenix Force returned to Earth and hosted itself in Namor‘s body, a rival of T’Challa, who led the Atlantean people. Typically, the highly technological Wakanda would have no problem defending itself, but its army was busy fighting far away, protecting Ororo’s interests.

Black Panther fought bravely to defend his people, but the attack did a lot of damage. His love for Ororo was a distraction. She was never there to fight for her own, but he always strove to protect her people.

When the conflict softened, Storm went to talk to the Black Panther. However, when she approached T’Challa to express her feelings, the Black Panther strongly rejected Storm’s offer to help restore Wakanda.

He informed Ororo Munroe that their marriage was over by order of the High Priest of the Panther religion…HIMSELF!

Namor’s actions – which sank more than a third of the African country – were considered a war statement by Atlantis and Utopia – the island-base of mutants – and the X-Men were no longer welcome in Wakanda.

The former Queen of Wakanda was now officially an enemy of the state and could be killed by any country citizen without being considered a crime. And in this cruel way, the romance between Black Panther and Storm came to an end.

The Queen Never Lost Her Majesty

After this event, they obviously drifted apart. But with time, they became friends again. So there is still a heartfelt feeling between the two.

Ororo was present in several crucial moments for Wakanda, such as in the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda saga, and T’Challa also participated in the Phoenix Force tournament.

But the nature of their relationship never really became romantic again.

The people of Wakanda never stopped seeing Ororo as a Goddess and part of royalty. Respectfully, she was called Hadari Yao, the one who walks on clouds. However, Ororo’s status with T’Challa, at present, is uncertain since she stole the Wakanda Skybreaker sword in Marauders #13.

With Krakoa established as a mutant nation-state and the rise of Planet Arakko, Storm is intergalactically considered the ruler of the Solar System. Unfortunately, Wakanda is still one of the few nations that do not respect the mutant state.

Who knows, perhaps we may soon see a couple’s meeting to address diplomatic issues… The fact is, should a new relationship arise, Marvel’s team is far more prepared to turn it into something extraordinary. So anyway, long live the King of Wakanda and long live the Queen Regent of Mars!

Did Storm and T’Challa Have Kids?

Azari T’Challa T’Chacka Evan, also known as the Duke of Wakanda, is the Black Panther and Storm’s sun.

His first comic book appearance was in Avengers #1, by Brian Michael Bendis. Then, in 2010, during the relaunch of the Heroic Age, we were introduced to the printed version of the character.

However, in 2008, he had already debuted in The New Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow animated film.

In short, Azari inherited a mixture of his parents’ abilities. While possessing the physical enhancement of Black Panther, the boy can also master time, like Storm. So it comes as no surprise to find out that Azari is a formidable warrior.

In addition, he forms a new generation of Avengers, where teams up with James Rogers Jr., son of Captain America and Black Widow; Henry Pym Jr., son of Ant-Man and the Wasp; Torunn, son of Thor and Sif; and Francis Barton, son of Hawkeye and Harpy.

WHAT IF…? Who is Uatu? The Watcher Explained

PopCorn Princess 2021-08-21

In the Marvel Universe, a race is dedicated to watching humanity’s – and other races’ – every move without interfering, only to monitor the existence of life in the universe.

They are the Watchers, cosmic guards who hold all the knowledge of history. And among the most famous of them is the Watcher of Earth: Uatu.

In the comics, Uatu watches from afar as the publisher’s most meaningful events unfold. He was present in several landmark events in Earth’s history, from the arrival of Galactus to the Superhuman Civil War.

What if…?, the new animated series from Marvel Studios exclusive to Disney+, shows a glimpse into different realities of the multiverse.

Each story is told from Uatu, The Watcher‘s point of view, the mysterious cosmic entity with a particular interest in the alternate histories of the MCU’s main heroes.

In the movies, he may be a key piece to understanding Doctor Strange’s insanity from Doctor Strange 2: Into the Multiverse of Madness and how Jane Foster assumes the mantle of Goddess of Thunder in Thor: Love and Thunder.

Check out the fundamental facts to help you better understand Uatu!

Who is the Uatu, The Watcher?

Uatu comes from a very ancient race, commonly known as the Watchers. They came from a very advanced society, and for a time, believed that their goal was to roam the universe, helping less advanced societies find evolution through technology.

Everything changed when Ikor, one of the race representatives, ended up giving technology to a planet called Prosilicus, which was used to create nuclear weapons and mass destructing devices.

This caused the Watchers to adopt a vow to keep an eye on civilizations, but without interfering. Uatu was then assigned to watch over Earth.

His first encounter with humans occurred in 1602 when a future version of Captain America was sent into the past, creating several ruptures in space-time. Acting against the vow of his race, he interfered, restoring reality.

Many years later, he appears in a Fantastic Four adventure on the moon. From then on, he had several secondary appearances, always seen on the set as a silent observer during significant events that would completely change the history of humankind.

Uatu, The Watcher First Appearance

Created by the most incredible comic book duo of all-time – Stan Lee and Jack Kirby – the enigmatic Uatu first appeared in April 1963, in Fantastic Four #13, in a story involving the team facing the evil Red Ghost.

As time went by, the character had a consistent presence in the team’s magazines. Eventually, Uatu starred in his own title – The What If…? comic book series, where several events are recreated differently.

Each issue explored a different story, always investigating how the situation would develop if a small change were made to the main Marvel stories.

For example, some of the more famous titles are: What would happen if the Avengers had never existed? What would happen if Jane Foster had found the hammer? What would happen if the Hulk had Bruce Banner’s intelligence?

Base on the Moon

When he was assigned as a Watcher on Earth, Uatu had to find a base to establish himself from where he could observe all events from a distance. So he settled in the Blue Area of the Moon, a part of the satellite where the air is breathable.

The Kree created the base when the alien race came to Earth to experiment on humans – who would later become the Inhumans. This area was also where Attilan – the moon base of the Inhumans – was set up, although they and Uatu barely met.

How Many Times Has Uatu Interfered on Earth?

When Tiamut scanned Uatu in Eternals #5, he found that Uatu broke the rules 337 times to help the Earthlings. This is because Uatu believed in Otmu‘s philosophy, which said that the simple act of observing is already an interference in itself.

So, since doing nothing or doing something would have consequences, Uatu always chose to do the right thing. From this belief, he began to help humanity occasionally, even if this pitted him directly against other Watchers.

His most popular interference happened when Galactus decided to invade Earth. He not only tried to hide the planet but actively worked with the Fantastic Four to prevent the end of his sector.

In other situations, where the planet would not be in danger of destruction, he just watched – as in Civil War and Avengers vs. X-Men.

Uatu’s Trial

After years of a risky lifestyle, Uatu was judged by his own people. The last straw was when he physically opposed Captain Mar-vell, defending the interests of the Lunatic Legion, a faction of Kree who lived on his side of the moon.

He pleaded innocence, explaining the contradiction of the prevailing system that Otmu’s philosophy exposed. Moreover, the actions and emotions he saw among the Earthlings eventually influenced him.

In the end, he rethinks his attitudes and is released, vowing never again to interfere in mediocre matters, a promise which he obviously did not keep.

Who killed the Uatu, The Watcher?

In the Original Sin saga, the Watchman met his ultimate end.

The heroes of Earth were called to the Blue Area of the Moon, where Uatu lived, and found him dead, with a giant gunshot wound in his head and his two eyes gouged out. An investigation began to determine the guilty party.

Uatu’s eyes were used by the villainous Orb to reveal several secrets on Earth – secrets that had only been observed by the Watcher. It was later discovered that Uatu’s killer was the original Nick Fury, following an attack by several villains on the Watcher’s base on the Moon.

After being revealed as the assassin at the saga’s end, Nick Fury told his motives: a group of villains had attacked Uatu and removed one of his eyes. To find out who the culprit was, he needed to pluck out the Watcher’s other eye – even to prevent one of his secrets from leaking out.

However, the Watchmen were not kind to the spy. To punish him for Uatu’s death and fill the gap left by the Watcher on Earth, they turned Nick Fury into the new Watcher. Taking on the name Unseen, he took Uatu’s place, watching major events on Earth.

This arc was the trigger for Jane Foster‘s transformation into Thor. After discovering the dirt on the universe, Fury told a dark secret in Odinson’s ear that made him feel unworthy to carry the Mjolnir, leaving the way clear for Mighty Thor to emerge.

The heroine will make her debut in Thor: Love and Thunder, but the Watcher’s influence should change in the movies.

Uatu’s Powers and Abilities

Like other Watchers, Uatu has several superhuman abilities at his disposal, starting with telepathy, which can be combined to expand other powers mentally.

Uatu can also turn invisible, generate illusions, and alter his size. He also needs immortality to watch all the events of existence, but his body was not invulnerable and could be killed by unnatural causes.

Not to mention the ability to control time and space. Uatu can teleport, travel through time, create force fields, fly, and manipulate energy. On top of all this, their cosmic senses are super keen to let nothing slip by in the universe.

Uatu in The Game World

In the games, the Watcher appears as in the comics – as an active observer, watching Earth from a distance. Because of this, he was always portrayed as a non-playable character since it made no sense to make him in any other way.

He appeared in several games. Spider-Man for PlayStation was the first. Later, he appeared in the animations of Marvel Ultimate Alliance, the extinct Marvel Heroes, and as an NPC in Super Hero Suad Online and Avengers: Battle for Earth.

Uatu in TV and Cinema

Uatu has appeared in several animated series on television, notably the 90s series Fantastic Four, X-Men, The Incredible Hulk, and Silver Surfer. In addition, he was in Super Hero Squad Show and Avengers Assemble.

In theaters, we saw the Watcher in a few scenes from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 – although we’re not sure if one of them was Uatu.

However, Uatu is present in the first animated series of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, What If…?, dubbed by Jeffrey Wright.

WHAT IF…? Why X-Men and Fantastic Four Were Left Out?

PopCorn Princess 2021-08-19

Ever since What If…? and its plot was announced, Marvel Studios fans were hoping that the X-Men and Fantastic Four could end up showing in the new Marvel animated series.

As an animated series that dealt with parallel universes, this would be a safe way to introduce versions of the heroes that could continue on the big screen if successful with the public.

Now, series executive producer Brad Winderbaum has explained why they didn’t want to use the characters.

In an interview with Collider, Winderbaum said that the series could not serve as a premiere for the characters because they wanted to address only the events of “Infinity Saga.”

“We had very few parameters when we were ideating the show, but that was certainly one of them. We wanted to make sure that the characters were firmly rooted in the MCU.

And that had nothing to do with rights and had nothing to do with the future stories we wanted to tell.

It had everything to do with what ‘What If..?’ is: which is a spin on an established storyline. So we look – primarily – at the Infinity Saga.”

The producer’s response makes a lot of sense since the What Would Happen If…? stories usually take significant, well-known events and give them a different twist, even in the comics.

As for the X-Men and Fantastic Four, we still have little news on when or how they will appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but we should have more information soon.

WHAT IF…? Makes Reference to Thanos in Hidden Easter-Egg

PopCorn Princess 2021-08-16

Time passes, production changes, but Marvel fans never tire of looking for easter eggs. Whether in animation or live-action format, no matter the series, we know that the studio is known for hiding any reference to previous productions in their releases.

The new wave of easter eggs started in WandaVision but followed the tradition in Loki and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. In What If…?, it all started just now, but of course, the audience has already found its first treasures.

The first episode of the animated series arrived last Wednesday on Disney+, revealing an alternate version of Peggy Carter. The last time we saw her was in Avengers: Endgame, when Steve Rogers went back in time to return the jewels and ended up sticking around, living the life Tony Stark always told him to.

The first episode showed what would have happened if Peggy had taken the supersoldier serum from Steve Rogers, who, as we saw in the episode, took over a machine from Howard Stark and became a sort of mechanical Hulk. On the other hand,

On the other hand, Peggy assumed the role of Captain Carter, a version of Captain Britannia from the comics. The success was such that the character is being tipped to win a solo production, which has not yet been confirmed by either side.

Many of the script elements from the first Captain America movie were changed in the episode, including the Red Skull’s hunt for the Tesseract.

His goal was to win World War II on behalf of Hydra, but he was eventually stopped momentarily by Peggy. So when the US military begins investigating the Tesseract, we see a well-hidden Easter Egg that only a magnifying glass would be able to spot.

In case you don’t have eagle eyes and can’t speak Italian yet, the page in the book that talks about the Tesseract carry the words:

“Don’t let the angry purple boy touch this”

It doesn’t take much MCU knowledge to guess who the purple boy is. Thanos begins his hunt for the Infinity Stones with the Tesseract in the Loki in the Avengers timeline.

After gaining mastery of the artifact, he continues his quest, and we know that he conquers it, taking over the Stones and being able to wipe out half the world’s population.
