Marvel's "What If" Episode 6 showed yet another Tony Stark death. Moreover, the easter eggs of the episode make it the most eclectic and diverse installation so far--featuring jokes across the Marvel Cinematic Universe storyline.
The MCU alternative story "What If...?" mixed up stories between Iron Man (Tony Stark) and Erik Killmonger. In quick summary, Stark and Killmonger helped each other, used each other, and killed each other. Killmonger won, taking over Wakanda as its new king in the process.
Voice actors for the episode are Angela Bassett, Andy Serkis, Chadwick Boseman, Danai Gurira, Don Cheadle, Jon Favreau, Michael B. Jordan and Mike Wingert. Characters like Pepper Potts, Shuri, and General Ross are taken over by new actors.
