What If...? Season 3, Episode 6 takes viewers to the Wild West in 1872, exploring an alternate reality where Shang-Chi and Kate Bishop face off against a corrupted Xialing wielding the Hood's powers. The episode dives into the consequences of Xialing's choices, leading to a tragic end and setting the stage for the series finale.

Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for What If ...? Season 3, episode 6 What If ...? Season 3, episode 6 is the next best thing instead of an actual Shang-Chi sequel. Starring Simu Liu and the cowboy hero'The Ten Rings' and Hailee Steinfeld as the sharpshooting Kate Bishop aka Hawkeye , this new episode and alternate MCU reality is set in the year 1872.
