How To Watch Marvel’s “What If…?” Episode 5 On Disney+ Hotstar For Free?
The latest animated TV series from Marvel, ‘What If … ?‘ has undeniably skewed the world of our favorite superheroes as we know it. The series is focused on showing alternate timelines of the Marvel Multiverse – a fancy term for multiple parallel universes. Basically, the show is about what would happen if it did happen in an alternate timeline, hence the title “What If … ?”
On this week’s journey through the multiverse, The Watcher – the show’s enigmatic narrator who looks over the multiverse – takes us on another intriguing route in time. Episode 5 explores what would happen if somehow the world’s mightiest heroes, the Avengers, became zombies.
The Twitter handle of Disney+ Hotstar gave us a glimpse into the outlandish plot with promotional images showing ‘Zombie Captain America’ and ‘Zombie Hawkeye.’ This episode is an adaptation of a popular comic book arc called “Marvel Zombies.”
Just like the previous episodes, the latest zombie-fied episode of ‘What If … ?‘ goes live on Wednesday at 12:30 PM IST. Here’s how you can stream it on Disney+ Hotstar for free.

Firstly, Reliance Jio and Airtel users can claim a Disney+ Hotstar Mobile membership with a recharge worth ₹499 and above. On the other hand, Vi customers get the same subscription on plans priced at ₹501 and above.
