Marvel fans are eagerly waiting for the release of the next episode of What If. Well, here's what we know about the release schedule and preview of episode 5.

What If...? is the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe show that explores the events happening across different timelines. Each episode of What If tells a different story, and we get to experience the multiverse that was introduced in Loki's finale.

The previous episode of What If was a delight for Dr. Strange fans, as we got to watch two versions of the sorcerer going against each other. Now, everyone is eager to see what alternate timeline episode 5 will explore.
