Multiverse-spanning SPOILERS forward.
An real Age of Ultron
This reality diverged from the mainline MCU at some stage within the occasions of Avengers: Age of Ultron, where Tony Stark and Bruce Banner susceptible the Recommendations Stone to create the factitious intelligence Ultron as a world protection program. Ultron (voiced here by Ross Marquand) turned out to be sentient, and reckoned he needed to wipe out humanity to place Earth.
He deliberate to upload himself to the Recommendations Stone-empowered physique that can change into Imaginative and prescient, however the Avengers stopped him from doing so. In this reality, Ultron succeeded, then killed many of the Avengers and launched nuclear weapons globally.
Ultron offers with Thanos moderately efficiently.

Thanos arrives with the opposite Infinity Stones and is presumably making ready to carry the Recommendations Stone, but Ultron uses it to nick the Mad Titan in two and takes the others. With their collective vitality, he encases himself in superior armor and creates an navy of drones.
With Earth almost lowered to ash, Ultron and his forces assault Asgard, The Sovereign (where he slaughters the Guardians of the Galaxy), Sakaar (killing Korg and the Grandmaster), Ego and Xandar (ending Captain Surprise along the contrivance in which). With this, he is reasonably mighty broken his entire universe and fulfilled his reason. Till…
Looking out on the Watcher
… the Watcher’s narration gets him caught. Bask in Doctor Extraordinary Supreme, Ultron reaches a vitality diploma where he turns into responsive to the Watcher and the multiverse.
“I hang viewed all the pieces that has ever took station. Ever will happen. Ever would possibly presumably presumably well happen,” says the Watcher. “And yet, what the hell is this?”
The Watcher almost meets his pause at Ultron’s hand.

Ultron crashes into the jam between realities where the Watcher hangs out, and the pair eradicate in a battle that sends them crashing thru the multiverse.
In a single of the universes Ultron knocks the Watcher into, Steve Rogers taking the oath of station of job to alter into president. Here is seemingly a reference to field 26 of the comedian sequence, What If Captain America Had Been Elected President?
No matter manifesting some adore battle armor of his contain, the Watcher is within the wreck overpowered by Ultron and compelled to fly.

The Hydra AI
Dim Widow and Hawkeye (aka Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton, voiced by Lake Bell and Jeremy Renner) are the categorical Avengers to live to notify the tale in Ultron’s world, and so that they hang to trace down a rival AI to carry him on.
That AI is Armin Zola (Toby Jones), a Hydra scientist who secretly rebuilt the terrorist neighborhood inside of SHIELD after World Warfare II. He uploaded his mind to a computer earlier than his physique died, and it gave the influence take care of that became destroyed in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
A hopeless Hawkeye makes the final sacrifice.
Surprise Studios
Nonetheless, Natasha discovers that a reproduction of his mind became kept in a Hydra facility in Siberia to hang a examine over the Russian Gigantic Soldier program (the same one viewed within the climax of Captain America: Civil Warfare).
They’re making an attempt to upload Zola to Ultron’s hive mind by uploading the Hydra AI to Clint’s arrow and hitting a drone with it. Sadly, Ultron’s multiversal travels point out he is out of vary, so Zola’s attempt fails.
As the drones swarm our heroes, Clint sacrifices himself to provide Natasha and Zola-drone an opportunity to flee — mirroring the 2d Natasha provides her life so Clint can obtain the Soul Stone in Avengers: Endgame.
Dim Widow does “the pose” with Red Guardian’s protect.

The fallen sorcerer
After being defeated by Ultron, the Watcher is desperate sufficient to return the corrupted, broken Extraordinary Supreme in his dinky crystal prison and set aside a matter to for his attend. I assume it be to destroy that articulate and obtain interferin’.
He’s almost no doubt going to procure a bunch of the heroes we now hang viewed in previous episodes — Captain Carter, T’Challa Superstar-Lord, Zombie-Hunter Spider-Man and Birthday party Thor — to carry on Ultron. There would possibly be one other probable team member viewed in some promo field matter for the masks, but they haven’t appeared yet so I’d no longer destroy it for of us who haven’t viewed that. They see superior, despite the undeniable reality that.

Observations, WTF questions and Easter eggs
- The reality in which Ultron won is akin to the 2013 Age of Ultron comedian miniseries, in which he takes over the sphere. The film borrowed this sequence’ title but no longer the gap.
- Here is the fourth time we now hang viewed some model of Tony Stark die in this masks. He seemingly died within the apocalyptic occasions of the T’Challa Superstar-Lord and Extraordinary Supreme episodes too, but we didn’t essentially look it.
- Hawkeye has his Avengers: Endgame haircut and a Winter SoIdier-trend steel arm.
- Natasha uses Red Guardian’s protect, and her costume looks to be a diminutive take care of Cara Dune’s in The Mandalorian.
- “Hear Skynet, I’ve viewed the killer robot film and I gotta lisp, I genuinely don’t think it wants a sequel.” Captain Surprise got her powers and left Earth in 1989, five years after The Terminator came out. The 2d one became launched in 1991 and he or she didn’t return to Earth till 1995, so it is great that she uncared for that 2d in popular culture. Pity, it be an fabulous sequel.
- Ultron would possibly presumably presumably well hang robo-splained that to her, but he became moderately desirous about mass-murder.
- Clint compares the KGB archives to the warehouse on the pause of Raiders of the Lost Ark, and compares attempting to search out Zola to the Empire’s strive to trace down the Death Superstar plans in the starting up of Superstar Wars: A Fresh Hope.
Be half of us for added Easter eggs and observations subsequent Wednesday, Oct. 5, when episode 9 of What If…? hits Disney Plus. Or no longer it is the season finale, it shall be time for a predominant crossover.
