Erik Killmonger as Star-Lord from the What If...? series would be a fascinating addition to the main MCU timeline. In the alternate reality shown in the series, Killmonger takes on the mantle of Star-Lord, blending his strategic and combat skills with the adventurous spirit of Peter Quill’s counterpart. His presence would introduce a unique combination of Wakandan technology and intergalactic experience. This version of Killmonger is more complex, as he navigates the moral ambiguities of the Star-Lord persona while still retaining his cunning and strategic mindset.
