What If…? second episode plot

The first adventure in the series premiere reimagined Peggy Carter as Captain America, as the canon-Founder of SHIELD took the super-soldier serum instead of Steve Rogers. What the viewer can expect from episode 2 might be its focus on T’Challa as Star-Lord. The much-awaited episode, without a doubt, will take the canon, Black Panther, on a journey that is unlike anything we have seen from the King of Wakanda in the MCU. This will also mark the concluding performance of Chadwick Boseman as he will voice T’Challa in four of the nine episodes.

Marvel's What If...? is based on a Marvel comic from the 70s that retells a famous storyline in an alternative reality. The voice cast of the animated series includes Jeffery Wright, the late Chadwick Boseman, Josh Brolin, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Natalie Portman, Hayley Atwell, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, Paul Rudd, Sebastian Stan and Taika Waititi.
