Avengers: Endgame (2019 movie) Close this dialog window Streaming Options The new character posters for Avengers: Endgame differentiate those who survived and those who were dusted in The Snap by featuring the deceased characters in black and white. In most cases, we already knew from Infinity War which was which, but the rollout today did contain a piece of news — Shuri was among the fallen. Letitia Wright’s sharp-witted Wakandan tech genius was not explicitly shown dying in the previous movie, but a trailer for Endgame (out April 26) featured her on a screen listed along with Ant-Man Scott Lang as “missing.” aeg17 Credit: Marvel Studios Lang, as we know, was merely trapped in the Quantum Realm. That suggested that no one else had witnessed Shuri vanish when Thanos used the Infinity Stones to erase half the life in the universe — which means she might still be out there, too. Now, however, she turns up in black and white in the new character posters, alongside her brother T’Challa, Doctor Strange, Falcon, and others who were seen disintegrating before the horrified eyes of their fellow heroes.

Close this dialog window Streaming Options Related content:<doc-sep>Marvel Studios The ending of 2018's Avengers: Infinity War saw several of Marvel fans' favorite heroes fall to Thanos, thanks to his ridiculously powerful Infinity Gauntlet. With a simple snap, the villain ensured that some of Earth's mightiest heroes would fall, with the erasure of half the universe. But there were still several questions after the film that needed to be answered, namely: What happened to T'Challa's (Chadwick Boseman) younger sister, scientist Shuri (Letitia Wright)? Avengers directors the Russo Brothers, perhaps knowingly, gave us an answer with a series of character posters released on Tuesday (March 26). It looks like we won't be seeing Shuri in Avengers: Endgame. The Russo Brothers took to Twitter with a series of character-centric posters. The first set were in vibrant color, representing all of the heroes still hanging in the battle. The others were released in stark monochrome, including Shuri. Fans quickly deduced that, along with the other characters in black and white, this must mean Shuri had indeed "fallen," as the "Avenge the Fallen" tagline over her face indicates. Marvel Studios We last saw Shuri in the final battle at Wakanda working to tear Vision away from the Infinity Stone in his head, but it wasn't clear what happened to her after that. When the first Avengers: Endgame trailer debuted in December 2018, fans spotted an image of Shuri on the Avengers' computer, listed as "missing," but there was no further confirmation of her fate beyond that. Unfortunately, it seems as though Shuri indeed fell in the heat of combat, which is pretty much the worst news for Black Panther fans. As to be expected, this really threw fans for a loop. No one was sure of her fate until just now, and the internet has thoughts. As great as it is that we got some sort of closure on Shuri's whereabouts, we're really bummed that we won't be seeing her in Avengers: Endgame unless some sort of crazy magical nonsense occurs. RIP, Shuri. You were one of the greats. Here's hoping a return to Wakanda in a future film finds you back where you belong.<doc-sep>For almost a year, Marvel fans have had to deal with the idea that their favorite cinematic superheroes were turned to dust after Thanos’s snap at the end of Avengers: Infinity War. Black Panther, Falcon, Bucky, Spider-Man — all dead. That’s what makes next month’s Avengers: Endgame so enticing: The remainder of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes have to find a way to bring their friends, and half of the universe’s life, back from the dead. We thought we’d seen all the carnage. Leave it to Marvel to introduce an infuriating wrinkle (and a savvy marketing ploy) one month ahead of Endgame: It turns out that Shuri, the beloved teen genius and technological architect of Wakanda, is among the dead. Marvel released a plethora of character posters on Tuesday, exactly one month ahead of Endgame, that say “Avenge the fallen.” The characters appearing in color — Thor, Iron Man, Captain America, and Captain Marvel, among others — are characters alive post-snap. Shuri’s poster is in black and white (above), as are those featuring heroes like Spider-Man, Black Panther, Loki, and Groot — who were all vaporized or killed during Infinity War, seemingly confirming Shuri, too, was dusted. Shuri also appears as one of the “missing” in the first Endgame trailer: Prior to these posters, though, there was reason to believe Shuri wasn’t dead. She wasn’t dusted onscreen, leading fans to believe she may have survived the snap. Further, Angela Bassett, who plays Shuri and Black Panther’s mother Ramonda, said in an interview with Screen Rant that both her character and Shuri are still alive following Infinity War. This poster seems to indicate that Bassett may not be the final word when it comes to Marvel storylines. Because Shuri is so beloved, some fans are annoyed at this new development. But the fate of Shuri and the rest of the dusted heroes will be truly decided in Endgame, which hits theaters on April 26, 2019.<doc-sep>
Enlarge Image Marvel Studios At the end of Avengers: Infinity War, when villain Thanos snapped his fingers while wearing the gauntlet, many of our favorite Marvel Cinematic Universe superheroes were turned to dust. But not every death was documented in the movie. So who's really left? Thanks to a new set of Avengers: Endgame movie posters shared by Marvel Studios on Tuesday, the fates of some beloved characters have been revealed. The new posters show surviving characters in full color, with the dead featured in black and white. Most notably, Black Panther character Shuri (played by Letitia Wright) has a black and white poster. This kills the fan theory that Black Panther's sister would replace him, since he died in the Snap as well. Though fans who paid attention to the new Endgame trailers probably noticed when Bruce Banner looked at computer screens that showed characters missing and presumed dead from the Snap. Shuri appeared on one of the screens, as did Peter Parker (Tom Holland), who we saw turned to dust in Infinity War. Enlarge Image Marvel Studios While Shuri's death is now confirmed, that doesn't mean the surviving Avengers don't have a plan to hopefully get her back (cough, Captain Marvel, cough), so fingers crossed. Avengers: Endgame is scheduled to open in theaters worldwide on April 26. For more plot theories, characters reveals and news check out our Avengers: Endgame movie guide.
