MCU What If...? - 10 Biggest Takeaways From Episode 5
5. A New Look Avengers
After the original team up of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye in the Battle of New York, the Avengers have gone through several different iterations to fight against the different threats thrown at them throughout the years.
They gained two members for the fight against Ultron, and looked completely different post-Sokovia, and after the Accords split them up, they came back together during the Blip and for the Time Heist almost unrecognisable from before.
This episode went even further and offered two new versions of the team. The first, seemingly led by Okoye, featured Spider-Man, Happy Hogan, Sharon Carter, Hope Van Dyne, Bucky Barnes, Bruce Banner, and hilariously, Kurt. However by the end of the episode, and moving forward to continue the fight from Wakanda, the team changed yet again.
Of course, absolutely anything can happen in the MCU, particularly in any of the What If…? realities, but who could have ever imagined an Avengers line up of just Spider-Man, T’Challa, Scott Lang’s head in a Futurama-style jar, and Doctor Strange’s cloak?
