The season finale of What If.? just hit Disney+, but which actors returned to lend their voices to these Marvel Cinematic Universe Variants and who was recast? You can find our breakdown after the jump!
[SPOILERS] Will Reportedly Be The Leader Of The Thunderbolts
During the buildup towards the premiere
of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, most of the footage made it look as though Daniel Brühl’s returning Zemo was set to be the villain of the piece, while the presence of George St-Pierre’s Batroc and the rumors that Erin Kellyman had been cast as Songbird had a lot of fans believing the
Thunderbolts were set to make their presence felt in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s second Disney Plus series.
Instead, Zemo became a cult hero simply by busting some moves, and he was never really a major antagonist at all. That being said, the very last moments of the finale appeared to hint that there was much more to come from the baron. Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine was behind the rest of the Flag Smashers being blown to smithereens, while Wyatt Russell’s John Walker also looks to be in her employ, so it’s basically a foregone conclusion that
So what was all this about, really?
No, really. I realized something as I sat down to watch the finale of this show. I wasn t really entirely sure what the story was even about. I mean, I d watched the previous five episodes, mostly even while sober. But as the episode started to roll, I realized that that I was more or less at a loss as to what the plot was. Karli, as far as I understood, was the leader of a group called the Flagsmashers, who thought it was really cool when we went to a sort of global government for the five years that half the people were missing and want to go back to that. To that end they were, I think, attacking the Global Repatriation Council on the eve of some vote that I think has something to do with sending people back to their countries of origin in camps of some kind, or something. I couldn t tell you what their concrete goal was, outside of vote bad.

For their second official television offering, Disney+ and Marvel gave fans a more traditional MCU story with
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, especially compared to the magically bonkers hijinks of
WandaVision. With a sobering look at post-Blip life for Anthony Mackie s Sam Wilson and Sebastian Stan s Bucky Barnes, the six-episode drama also took on a political edge with Erin Kellyman s Karli Morgenthau and the Flag Smashers. By and large, the series delivered plenty of enjoyable and memorable moments, but when it came time to nail the landing with its reveal-oozing finale,
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier flew far too close to the sun.
Falcon and the Winter Soldier will be submitted as a Drama Series rather than a Limited Series at the 2021 Emmy Awards flickeringmyth.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from flickeringmyth.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
