Marvel's new show What If? takes what's great about the MCU and completely flips it

With fans currently deciphering every little Easter egg, image and timeline in the wonderful Disney + show Loki, it's a great time to be a Marvel addict because Stage 4 is about to go off in some very interesting directions.

Aside from the cinematic adventures of Black Widow and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, the studio is about to make alternate timelines the cornerstone of their new TV show, What If...?

As the official plot synopsis states, we're about to "enter the multiverse of unlimited possibilities. Marvel Studios' first animated series What If… ?” features fan-favourite characters, including Peggy Carter, T’Challa, Doctor Strange, Killmonger, Thor and more."

Get ready for a new take on the MCU with a curious twist.

What exactly does this involve?

Well, imagine a world where Tony Stark was saved at the start of Iron Man by the villainous Erik Killmonger.

Elsewhere, we're going to see what would unfold if T’Challa, not Star-Lord, stole the Power Stone on Morag during the start of Guardians Of The Galaxy and teamed up with Yondu.

Ever wondered what it would be like if Peggy Carter picked up Captain America's famous vibranium shield and started to use it in the name of the UK and not the US?

What if, indeed.

All will be revealed when What If...? starts streaming on August 11 on Disney +.

Just like Loki, new episodes will be released each Wednesday on Disney+.
