Marvel’s What If? Episode 4 Recap: “What If… Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead of His Hands?” + ‘Shang-Chi’ Movie Preview | Everything is Super

The world outside your window isn’t great, but WHAT IF everything was super?

Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Kevin Mahadeo (@kevmahadeo) are talking about Marvel’s What If…?, the very first animated Marvel Cinematic Universe series, coming out weekly on Wednesdays on Disney+. Set through the lens of Uatu the Watcher, Marvel’s What If…? looks at various elements of the MCU, and posits different ways in which they could play out, leading to new permutations of characters such as Captain Carter and T’Challa as Star-Lord.

This week, Josh and Kevin talk through the latest round of “What If,” and how it frames Doctor Strange as a multiversal menace. Plus, they give some final thoughts on “Shang-Chi” before checking the movie out in theaters.

Next week, Josh will return to join Kevin and discuss Episode 5 of Marvel’s What If…? and a spoiler-filled review of Shang-Chi. Get your feedback into [e-mail].
