Episode 9 is titled “What If… Strange Supreme Intervened?”. In this What If Episode, we will see Supreme Strange back into action. Basically, Strange Supreme is making a new multiverse team, taking all the people he thinks are powerful from different universes to fight the big bad of this season. The last we saw Strange Supreme was in What If Season 2 Episode 6, where he showed up at the end to recruit Kahhori for his team.
Strange Supreme will take all the main characters from this season’s episode to form his team. So we could get a team of Strange Supreme himself, Captain Carter, Hela, Kahhori, and Nebula. I don’t think we will have Peter Quill because he might not have his father’s power because Ego died at the end of that episode.
At the end of What If Season 2 Episode 5, we also saw that Scarlett Witch pulled Captain Carter from a different universe to the 1602 timeline universe to save the queen, and Nick Fury of that universe was there too.
Recap
Before diving into What If Season 2 Episode 9, let’s quickly recap the previous episode. In episode 5, when Captain Carter And Black Widow go back to Nick Fury, she has pretty much the same argument with him that Captain America had with Nick Fury in the MCU about lying to him about what was going on, and Black Widow lying to him as well. They knew the whole time that the skinny boy Steve Rogers, was probably still alive and under the control of the Red Room.
Nick Fury makes a reference to a shield not stopping skinny boy Steve Rogers. That’s meant to be a reference to the ending where she finally wins him over by putting down the shield as she does it without the shield.
They give Bucky all of his Alexander Pierce scenes from Winter Soldier, but he’s not evil. They brought back Councilman Singh from the Winter Soldier movie. Bernard White, who played the character in the movie, also came back to do The Voice again.
Old man Bucky has shared beers with his Thor and Sebastian Stan doing the voice again. He returned to do all the Bucky scenes in all the different episodes.
Bucky And Sokovian Accords
The Sokovian package that they’re talking about, implies that the events of Avengers Age of Ultron will go down differently in this universe, or maybe never happen at all if Ultron is ultimately never created. It’s also meant to set up the ending in Sokovia in that Russian training town. He also makes a Civil War reference, which is a bit of a callback to Captain America’s Civil War. But in this universe, Sokovia is also in the middle of a civil war.
Crossbones comes back, and it is Frank Grillo coming back to do the voice again. But in this universe, remember, Hydra doesn’t exist in the present day, so he never joined Hydra, so he’s just like a totally normal, good agent. Remember when Steve Rogers’s Hydra Stomper attacks Bucky? He’s only attacking Bucky just to lure out Captain Carter. It’s all meant to be a trap to lure her out.
Then Bucky saves Steve Roger’s life is also meant to be a reference like a mirror to Steve Roger’s Captain America doing the same thing in the Winter Soldier movie. Going against orders because he was trying to save Winter Soldier. A lot more happened in previous episodes, but now let’s discuss when Episode 9 of What If Season 2 will be released and what will happen in it.
