Warning: This article contains spoilers for What If...? episode 9.
In Marvel's What If...? finale, Captain Carter fights to save the Multiverse, and she may have also shown she's worthy of wielding Mjolnir. The What If...? season 1 finale shook up the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the final episode, the Watcher (Jeffrey Wright) gathered the various superhero variants revealed throughout the season, and he brought them together to take on Ultron (Ross Marquand). The final team consisted of Captain Carter (Hayley Atwell), T'Challa's Star-Lord (Chadwick Boseman), Gamora (Cynthia McWilliams), Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan), Party Thor (Chris Hemsworth), and evil Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch). Black Widow (Lake Bell) eventually joined as well. Together, the heroes separated Ultron from the Infinity Stones and saved the Multiverse.
Peggy Carter had a drastically different story in What If...? as opposed to the main MCU timeline. In What If...? episode 1, Marvel changes the events of Captain America: The First Avenger. Instead of Steve Rogers (voiced by Josh Keaton) receiving the Super Soldier Serum, Peggy Carter does. She soon takes the name Captain Carter and puts the war effort into her own hands. On the other hand, Rogers becomes the first Iron Man, and the pair take on Hydra together. Unfortunately, it didn't last. They are eventually separated when Carter fights a monster summoned by Hydra back through a portal. She disappears for years.
What If...? may show that Captain Carter is worthy of Mjolnir. In the finale, the team of superheroes, which the Watcher dubs the Guardians of the Multiverse, concoct a plan to steal the Soul Stone from Ultron. Part of that plan involves Captain Carter smashing the villain with her shield. Following her assault on the evil AI villain, Carter grabs ahold of Mjolnir's handle in What If...?, which is flying back to Thor. Then, she hitches a ride on the hammer down to safety. It's a brief scene, but it may give a nod to Captain Carter's worthiness.
Captain Carter has given several glimpses of her worthiness in What If...?. In addition to holding onto Mjolnir briefly in the What If...? finale, Carter repeatedly put herself in harm's way for the good of others in the What If...? premiere. Like Rogers sacrificed himself in The First Avenger by plunging a rogue aircraft into the ice, Carter did the same in her episode, disappearing for years to save the world from a tentacled monster. At the end of What If...? episode 9, Captain Carter ponders the possibility of joining Steve Rogers in another timeline. However, after the Watcher tells her that her timeline needs her, she returns home. But, of course, when it comes to selfless acts, Captain Carter could do that all day.
The What If...? finale doesn't truly reveal Carter's worthiness. Captain Carter just holds onto Mjolnir's handle in the episode, letting the hammer guide her to safety. She doesn't wield it herself. Additionally, it's unknown if the Mjolnir from Marvel's What If...? finale has the same enchantments as the one in the main MCU timeline, which lets the worthy wielder have the power of Thor. However, timeline shenanigans aside, if Steve Rogers is worthy of Mjolnir, there's no reason Captain Carter wouldn't be.
