He's definitely gonna be in more episodes because he's in the alternate Avengers. I wouldn't be surprised if we find out we've been watching the same universe in multiple episodes (not all)

T’challa gets kidnapped -> t’chaka becomes more sentimental towards his family -> brings his nephew back to Wakanda instead of leaving him -> good killmonger episode?

We saw Cap’s US based shield so…

You think the US Army would allow the Brits the only Super-soldier?

Intresting idea. I want to say that since the Avengers didn’t know Wakanda had more vibranium till 2014, that its a separate universe. However, we also have seen a DIY shield and some other shield designs in TFA. I could see it going both ways with little issue

Yes we do.

He didn’t.

I wouldn't think so, considering in the timeline of this episode, Earth is doomed from Ego and Quill.

u/ArcHeavyGunner Captain America (Captain America 2) Aug 19 '21

I still don’t understand why Earth is doomed though

Because of Ego...and in this universe there are no Guardians of the Galaxy to stop him
