When What If...?'s Captain Carter was sent back to Earth-82111 by The Watcher after fighting Infinity Ultron alongside her fellow Guardians of the Multiverse, the hero seemingly got a happy ending when she discovered Steve Rogers was alive in the present day.

However, instead of them fighting side-by-side, a sizzle reel shown at last year's San Diego Comic-Con confirmed that, while Steve is indeed alive and inside the suit, the animated series will put a new spin on Captain America: The Winter Soldier in season 2.

The episode, thought to be titled "What if...Captain Carter Fought the HYDRA Stomper?" will reveal that the war hero ended up falling under HYDRA's control the same way his old pal, Bucky Barnes, did on Earth-616.

We don't know if that means Steve is going to call himself the "Winter Soldier," but the hero is clearly going to take on a similar role in this reality.

What If...?'s first season ended with a quick glimpse at the new HYDRA Stomper, but after a few low-res shots previously found its way online, we have some official product images (via Toonado.com) of Steve's new look courtesy of an upcoming wave of Marvel Legends action figures.

The swappable head sculpt does bear a striking resemblance to Chris Evans' animated counterpart, though it was Josh Keaton (The Spectacular Spider-Man) who lent his voice to the character in this series. As for the suit itself, it's very Iron Monger-esque and should pose a suitable challenge to Captain Carter.

Here's hoping Steve eventually regains his senses and these two will indeed get their happily ever after! The clash should be an emotional one and we're excited to spend more time with the good Captain after Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' so quickly killed her live-action Variant.

Despite recent rumours about What If...? season 2 debuting later this year, 2024 currently looks more likely. It's previously been reported that the series will only run for a total of three seasons during the Multiverse Saga.
