The focus may have been on Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings over the past couple of days, but you won't want to miss tomorrow's episode of What If...? on Disney+.
That will put the spotlight on Chadwick Boseman's T'Challa, and we now know that the title of this second instalment will be "What If...T'Challa Became a Star-Lord?" That obviously doesn't reveal anything we aren't already aware of, but there is some awesome never-before-seen footage in the promo below.
As well as showing Korath having a fanboy moment upon meeting this version of Star-Lord, Nebula, Yondu, and Star-Lord himself also get the chance to shine in what promises to be a very special episode.
While Boseman is expected to appear in other chapters of What If...?'s first season, this is widely being referred to as the late actor's final leading performance as T'Challa. That alone should make it an emotional experience, and Boseman actually hoped to bring some of this T'Challa into the Black Panther sequel; needless to say, it's a tragedy we won't get to see what that would have looked like.
In our review of the first three episodes, we concluded by saying, "An instant animated classic, What If...? delivers world after world of endless possibilities you need to explore, and if what we see from these first three chapters is any indication, Marvel Studios has delivered a mind-bending MCU masterpiece." If you thought that was hyperbole at the time, trust us when we say you may not feel the same way after watching this episode featuring T'Challa.
Check back here tomorrow morning for much more on the second episode of What If...?
