New Avengers: Endgame Posters Reveal Shuri's Fate And The Internet Is Shocked

The ending of 2018's Avengers: Infinity War saw a few of Marvel fans' preference heroes fall to Thanos, thanks to his ridiculously powerful Infinity Gauntlet.


With an eas snap, the villain ensured that some of Earth's mightiest heroes would fall, with the erasure of half the universe. Nevertheless there were still a few questions right following 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 opening set were in colorful color, representing all the heroes still hanging in the battle. The others were released in stark monochrome, including Shuri. Fans rapidly deduced that, as well as the other characters in black and white, this must mean Shuri had indeed "fallen," because the "Avenge the Fallen" tagline over her face indicates.


We last saw Shuri in the final battle at Wakanda working to tear Vision away from the Infinity Stone in his head, although it wasn't clear what happened to her soon after that. As soon as the initial Avengers: Endgame trailer debuted in December 2018, fans spotted an image of Shuri on the Avengers' computer, listed as "missing," however there was no further confirmation of her fate behind 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 up until just right now, and the world wide web has thoughts.


As good as it is that we got some group kind of closure on Shuri's whereabouts, we're really bummed that we won't be seeing her in Avengers: Endgame unless some order kind 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.
