WHAT IF...? Season 2 - Spoilery Synopses For Remaining Episodes Tease Major Multiverse Surprises

Marvel has finally released the official synopses for the remaining episodes of What If...? season 2, and it sounds like there are heaps of Multiversal surprises in store, including another crossover...

What If...? returned to Disney+ earlier this week with its second season and, so far, we've been taken on quite a ride. The animated series has put wild new spins on characters like Nebula, Star-Lord, and Happy Hogan, but what's to come in the days ahead? 

The marketing campaign for this one has been strange (screeners weren't sent out to the press until the day before the premiere aired, leading to fewer reviews than normal but a still impressive 92% Rotten Tomatoes score) and we only now have synopses for the remaining instalments. 

Based on what we're seeing here, it sounds like we're getting another two-part finale with that trip to 1602 leading into the return of Strange Supreme and a battle with mysterious "Universe Killers." Will What If...? finally shed some light on what's to come in the Multiverse Saga? We'll see.

Here are the synopses for the next six instalments of the Disney+ series:

What If... Iron Man Crashed Into The Grandmaster?

After his gambit to destroy the Chitauri Fleet during the battle of New York strands him on the planet of Sakaar, Tony Stark’s efforts to overthrow The Grandmaster lead to a ceremonial, grand prix-turned-demolition-derby—a death match that could land Tony on the Sakaarian throne.What If... Captain Carter Fought The Hydra Stomper?

What If... Captain Carter Fought The HYDRA Stomper?

After the long-lost Hydra Stomper is recovered, Captain Carter’s mission to save her old flame, Steve Rogers, sets her on a collision course with new enemies.

What If... Kahhori Reshaped The World?

After conquistadors lay siege to her tribe, a young Mohawk woman ventures into the Tesseract-powered waters of the legendary Forbidden Lake to recruit the forces of Sky World to help save her people.

What If... Hela Found The Ten Rings?

Growing weary of Hela’s bloodlust, Odin opts to teach his daughter a lesson by stripping her of her powers and banishing her to Earth. But when she lands in ancient China, the seductive lure of the Ten Rings threatens to reawaken the Goddess of Death’s villainous appetite.

What If... The Avengers Assembled In 1602?

When Captain Carter is transported to an Elizabethan-era locale that’s populated by modern day MCU figures, she’ll have to uncover the cause of the temporal anomaly that’s mysteriously stranded so many familiar heroes and villains in the year 1602.

What If... Strange Supreme Intervened?

When Captain Carter teams up with an old friend to hunt down vicious Universe Killers terrorizing the Multiverse, she finds the greatest threat to all existence may be closer to her than she realizes.

We've been recapping each episode of What If...? season 2 and, in case you missed them, you can check out our breakdowns of the first few chapters below (and yes, we'll be back here tomorrow, on Christmas Day, with another for "What If... Iron Man Crashed Into The Grandmaster?").

So all the Captain Carter episodes are really just a serialized Multiverse-hopping story starring Captain Carter? Should've just made that a mini-series like Zombies.

As for the other What Ifs, only the Iron Man episode sounds like a What If while the Kahhori and Hela episodes sound like they might as well have happened in the MCU.

@bkmeijer1 - They could’ve done a live action show but they’re too busy with Agatha 🙄

@bkmeijer1 - yep and that's the problem. They act like making anything related to the comics is a no no, and this is how they ended up here lol

@FireandBlood - They had a live-action show and no one watched it

I haven't even started this yet.

What if, "What If?" Was focused on the comics instead of the mcu? Now that'd be worth watching. These are lazy in comparison

@bobevanz - I rather see them do What If of the actual movies, where one event differs. Kinda like the episode where Yondu did deliver Peter, or Tony didn't fall back through the portal in Avengers.

@bkmeijer1 - I still want to see "What if Miss Minutes met Ultron" and "What if Malekith darkened the universe".

@SonOfAGif - that second one is one I definitely wanna see as well. Think there is a lot they can do with. Same with What If Kaecilius won

Why aren't they bringing in characters outside MCU? Its not like they don't have rights anymore! Like an appearance from Punisher in the 80s Avengers story.

@ScottPilgrim29 - Cos primarily these are What if an aspect of an MCU fllm differed resulting in a branch timeline thus primarily will have the same chess pieces front and center. Adding in non-MCU characters from the comics in supporting roles is there to exploit however and we are getting some entirely original characters this season so...

Solid episodes so far this season, really liked the 80s Avengers lineup.

I wish What If wasnt just a bunch of interconnected Avengers team ups again. It'd be way more enjoyable as an anthology you can watch in whatever order you want. Not everything has to be connected.

Sounds like 2x05, 2x08 and 2x09 are pivotal and are building up Captain Carter along with Strange Supreme for a likely live-action debut down the road. We could be talking about them being key players in Secret Wars, I would say.

Anyone else want to sew What If....the MCU owned the rights to all their characters in 2006?
