The fourth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with what it takes so far available On Disney Plus, it’s packed with juicy and sexy possibilities. The main reason for such a happy circumstance is the fearsome multiverse unleashed by Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) in the episode “For All Time. Always ”(1×06) by Loki, fully consistent with the anthological proposal of alternative narrative threads in animation that offers us What would happen if…? (Michael Waldron, AC Bradley, since 2021).
So far, we have explained who is The Vigilante (Jeffrey Wright) who narrates each chapter and from what sources the scriptwriter draws to raise the origin of the British superheroine (Hayley Atwell), a lucky variant, in “What If… Captain Carter Were the First Avenger ” (1×01). But not yet about that hideous monster that appears at the end, so it’s time to deal with his tentacles and his possible relationship with Doctor Strange 2: The Multiverse of Insanity (Sam Raimi, 2022) in the present text.
A villain with a history in ‘What if …?’ and maybe ‘Doctor Strange 2’
During this initial chapter of What would happen if…?, none other than Johann Schmidt or Red Skull (Ross Marquand) intends to use the Tesseract and the Gem of Infinity that is inside it, and that he gives so many stumbles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe between Captain America the First Avenger (Joe Johnston, 2011) and Avengers: Endgame (Joe and Anthony Russo, 2019) o Loki, to summon a terrible “champion of Hydra” to take over the whole world.
It succeeds, and this is the first time we have laid eyes on Shuma-Gorath, name of a gigantic tentacular beast of demonic race – taken from the tale The curse of the golden skull (Robert E. Howard, 1967) -, who belongs to the Ancients and who ruled the planet in Prehistory. It was devised by screenwriter Steve Englehart and cartoonist Frank Brunner to the number ten of Marvel Premierand (1973), although it is mentioned first in the second volume of Journey into Mystery (Roy Thomas and Gil Kane, 1972).
Y it is rumored that he could be one of the villains They will have to face the Supreme Sorcerer (Benedict Cumberbatch) and, at the very least, the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) in Doctor Strange 2. The funny thing is that it is also said that we will see Captain Carter in this film, so perhaps they will tell us what she lives with Shuma-Gorath while traveling between the two portals of the Tesseract in What would happen if…?
