She delivers the Tesseract back to the SSR, and tells them in terms of her name, “Captain has a nice ring to it.” Steve may not have had the bulky glow-up, but he and Peggy flirt like there’s no tomorrow, and all of the talk about dancing and partners is still here. She can barely believe how great it feels, saying, “That was brilliant! Let’s give it another go!” She also falls for her shield, saying, “Where have you been all my life?” She’s finally able (and/or is being allowed) to be what she has always been: a premium kicker of a**. She was made for this, and relishes all of her new abilities as the animated action soars. Peggy wastes no time in taking on the convoy. Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper) provides her with a suit (which was going to be her USO outfit) and also a shield. The Tesseract is still in play here, and soon enough Peggy decides to defy Flynn and intercept it. He wanted a super soldier, but as he says, “…instead I got a girl.” What if… Colonel Flynn took his misogyny down a few notches? He remains tiny in stature, but that doesn’t mean he no longer wants to serve.Ĭolonel Flynn (Bradley Whitford) from the Marvel One-Shot short Agent Carter appears in this episode, serving once again as an anti-Peggy douche. Steve’s bullet wound was not fatal, so he’s still around. The experiment is successful, and Peggy receives the super soldier abilities. Steve cannot go through with the experiment, so Peggy jumps into the chamber herself. The HYDRA agent blows the place sooner than he does in the movie, and he shoots Steve Rogers. Peggy choosing to stay in the room changes everything. “When asked to leave the room, Margaret 'Peggy' Carter chose to stay,” he says. The Watcher notes that Peggy, in this scenario, does not do what we saw her do in the film.
The difference comes when Peggy Carter is asked to leave the room. Steve Rogers is about to get the super soldier serum, and everything is proceeding just how we remember it.
**SPOILER WARNING: From this point forward there will be spoilers for Episode 1 of Marvel’s What If…? If you haven’t watched yet, what if… you stopped reading, watched it, and then came back?** What is the “single choice” in the first episode, and what new kind of reality branches out from it? It’s a prism of endless possibility, where a single choice can branch out into infinite realities creating alternate worlds from the ones you know.” As the Watcher ( Jeffrey Wright) himself says: “Time. Marvel’s What If…? has begun, and the first episode shows just how much can change based on one simple choice.Įpisode 1 revisits the events of Captain America: The First Avenger, where things go down a different path for Peggy Carter ( Hayley Atwell) and Steve Rogers (played here by Josh Keaton). The doors of possibility in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been blown bloody well off, and the first animated entry in the ongoing sprawling saga is here.
