Superhero Deaths In Avengers Infinity War Will Be Permanent


As the release of Avengers Infinity War is around the corner, several MCU fans and casual movie watchers have been speculating about who will survive in Avengers Infinity War and who will meet demise in the third Avengers movie. Even though, Marvel has refused to share any clue on who will fall prey to Thanos’ destruction in the movie, it is safe to assume that at least a couple of the founding members of the MCU’s Avengers will not survive the third phase of MCU.

In a recent statement, the head of the Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige said that some of the deaths of the MCU superheroes that will happen in Avengers Infinity War will stay permanent. This means that the Marvel characters who dies in Infinity War will not be resurrected. So, it certainly is the end of the path for at least a couple of our beloved MCU heroes.

Kevin Feige said, “I mean, I could always list off the characters that we’ve killed in our movies that haven’t come back, but the big ones, which I know they’re looking at…? I would just say, yes… People need to be careful what they wish for.” He added, “People always will jump to that. That’s not necessarily what we’re talking about. I talk a lot, because I’m a big-ass nerd, about Star Trek: The Next Generation, All Good Things. That to me is one of the best series finales ever. That wasn’t about death. Picard went and played poker with the crew, something he should have done a long time ago, right?”


The fact that the MCU contracts of Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, and a few more will end by the fourth Avengers movie have urged several fans to see that either these characters will die in the upcoming Avengers movie or they will simply retire. It has been confirmed that Shuri, played by Letitia Wright will have a big role in the upcoming Marvel movies. So, there is a good chance that she might take up the mantle of Iron Man after Tony’s demise.

Rumours surfacing the internet also suggest that Valkyrie, who is played by Tessa Thompson might take up the mantle of Thor once Chris Hemsworth leaves the MCU. Finally, it makes sense if Bucky Barnes or Sam wield Cap’s Shield too. However, fans have been asking is Bucky Barnes White Wolf after the end credit scene of Black Panther. So, Sam Wilson might be the one who is the front runner to take up the mantle of Captain America.

Avengers Infinity War Will feature Multiple Character Deaths


If you are a person who has passionately followed the Marvel Cinematic Universe since the release of Iron Man in 2008, you might be probably aware of the fact that Avengers Infinity War is going to be the ultimate showdown between good and evil. However, the million dollar question Marvel fans and MCU lovers have been asking for a very long time is who dies in Avengers Infinity War.
It is true that the official from Marvel studios have confirmed that not every one of our favorite Marvel superheroes will survive Avengers Infinity War. So, if the question of who will survive in Avengers Infinity War has popped into your head multiple times, you are not alone. We all are dying to know who will fall prey to Thanos’ destructive forces and who will live to see another day.

It has almost been officially confirmed that one or two major Marvel characters will not survive the third Avengers movie, Avengers Infinity War. Robert Downey Jr., who plays Tony Stark / Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, recently stated that heads will roll in the third installment of the Avengers movie.


He said, “Believe me, I’m tired of every movie, you know, “It’s the end! It’s Armageddon! It’s the Be All, End All, Forever!” And then it’s… not. This one actually is. They’re not kidding. This is a heads-will-roll scenario.” Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem like a surprise, as the Mad Titan’s Arrival with the Black Order has hinted that something bad was really going to happen to our beloved Marvel heroes. From the Infinity War trailer leak, we were also able to see a glimpse at what Thanos is really capable of.

In addition, the Avengers Infinity War footage and the Avengers Infinity War prelude comics did hint that MCU heroes will have to take extreme measures to stop the Mad Titan and his Black Order. This means that Iron Man, Captain America, or Thor might even have to sacrifice their lives for the greater good.

So, you should be ready to stay farewell to at least a couple of the founding members of MCU’s Avengers. The writer of Captain America Winter Soldier and Civil War, Stephen McFeely recently warned fans to get ready to say goodbye to a few of their favorite MCU heroes. He said, “It’s safe to say we will say farewell to people.”

Black Panther Crosses Dark Knight In The Box Office


It seems that even the Dark Knight is unable to stop the king of Wakanda, Black Panther at the box office. Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther has just earned another 41 million dollars in the box office last office. This has brought the domestic box office total of the newly released MCU movie to be around $562 million.

One of the most interesting things you need to note is that the solo outing of the Wakandian King has just surpased the box office collection of one of the best superhero movies ever made, that is, The Dark Knight. According to reports from reliable sources, MCU’s Black Panther is currently the highest grossing solo comic book superhero movie ever. In addition, Black Panther is also the seventh-highest grossing movie in the domestic box office at the moment.

The only MCU movie with more box office earning than Black Panther is the first Avengers movie, which was released in the year 2012. MCU’s first superhero showdown Avengers had scored 623.4 million dollars and went on to became the fifth highest grossing movie of all time and the highest grossing superhero movie. However, records are meant to be broken and Black Panther is rumoured to break MCU’s box office records in the coming weeks.


Even if Black Panther managed to break the box office record of Dark Knight and the first Avengers movie, the success enjoyed by the ones who made Black Panther might be short lived. This is mainly because the greatest MCU superhero showdown, Avengers Infinity War is just a few weeks ago and it is estimated to break every superhero movie record.

However, in a recent statement, Mar Millar, who is writer some of the top selling Marvel comic books including Civil War believes that Black Panther’s box office record will remain intact even after the release of Avengers Infinity War. He said, “I'm going to make a bold, crazy prediction and you can giggle all you want: But I think Black Panther is going to outgross Avengers: Infinity War. I can feel it in my BONES”

Black Panther ending has really hinted a few clues about Bucky Burney’s character in the third Avengers movie, particularly the end credits scene. So, if you have not yet got a chance to see Chadwick Boseman, Letitia Wright, Michael B Jordan, and more in action, grab your Black Panther tickets and enjoy the show before Avengers Infinity War releases.

Letitia Wright knows how Shuri would interact with the Avengers


Ryan Coogler, who has earned a name in Hollywood through “Creed” and “Fruitvale Station”, has just directed one of the best MCU movies ever. The solo outing of Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa aka Black Panther has received huge praise from both critics and viewers alike, which is something Ryan would be really proud of.

Ryan Coogler’s MCU debut took viewers on a visual journey to the fictional nation of Wakanda. The movie showed the heroics of T’Challa, introduced the king’s allies, and gave us an incredible protagonist in the form of Michael B Jordan’s Killmonger. However, one of the major allies of Black Panther who was introduced in the movie was T’Challa’s sister Shuri.

Letitia Wright’s take on the character was phenomenal and she was one of the best things about the movie. She used her skills and genius to develop a number of devices and suits, which allowed Black Panther to thrive against Kilmonger and other villains.

Letitia Wright’s Shuri is rumoured to have a greater role in MCU and the actress have a clear idea on how her meeting with Bruce Banner or Tony Stark would go. She said, “I think she'll be OK. I think she would humble herself to learn from them, and challenge them as well with new designs and new ideas from Wakanda. And she's willing to learn from the West because her brother is so open now. I think she's embracing that as well. She would hold her own."

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe is swiftly drifting to the fourth phase, it has been rumoured that Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, and a few more Avengers will be existing the franchise, which will leave a major spot for a tech genius. The on-screen charisma and the brilliant performance delivered by Letitia Wright will undoubtedly make her a forerunner for the spot.


Letitia Wright talked about working aside Chadwick Boseman and said, "It was easy, and I’ll tell you why. I feel like it was ordained. I really, really feel like this is just a God thing. Even before I met him, I knew that he was going to play my brother. I just knew that we would connect because of the type of actor he is as well. He’s a person of the spirit, a like soul. Very grounded, down-to-earth, humble. I knew that when I met him, I wasn’t going to try and impress him, to force a friendship. I was just going to vibe and see if we connect on a soul level, and we did. And even in our first scene together, it was kind of like we’ve always been brother and sister."

Black Panther, which is currently running near you, will be the last Marvel movie before the ultimate superhero showdown, Avengers Infinity War. So, try to catch it to get pumped up for the next Avengers movie.

Black Panther’s Killmonger Has Just Solved MCU’s Villain Problem


As you would probably know, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has enjoyed tremendous success over the last 10 years that is since the release of Iron Man back in the year 2018. Even though MCU has grossed over 13.5 billion dollars in their 17 films, casual movie lovers and even die hard Marvel fans often complain that MCU has a major villain problem.

The criticism among fans and critics for not having a phenomenal antagonist was something marvel movies had been trying to fix for a very long time. However, when a new Avengers movie or marvel movie is being released, fans still complain that the  adversary in the movie was not up to the mark.
The God of Mischief, Loki played by Tom Hiddleston had earned huge praise after his first two appearances in marvel movies but it seems that marvel fans want to see the god side of Loki, which was explored a bit in Thor Ragnarok.

It is true that the likes of Cate Blanchett (“Thor: Ragnarok”), Michael Keaton (“Spider-Man: Homecoming”), and Kurt Russell (“Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2”) did show a glimpse of their talent in the last few MCU movie but most of these A-list actors failed to create a lasting impression. This is where Michael B Jordan’s Killmonger set things apart.


Jordan’s performance as Eric “Killmonger” Stevens in Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther was phenomenal and it did leave a lasting impression on the viewers. Some critics even hailed him as the most memorable antagonist in the MCU movies. In fact, Jordan’s character is skilful, smart, powerful, and he do have a clear motive, which will make the fans feel for him.

In a recent interview, Jordan said, “The goal was to build a character that will entertain you, educate you, inspire and also scare you a little bit. For the first time for me playing a character like that, obviously, you want to put your best foot forward and try to shoot for the moon. Hopefully we got something that reaches up there.”

Jordan added, "A villain's agenda is deeply impacted by their backstory, their upbringing, their history, and Killmonger's was systemic oppression. That's what he grew up in the States. The only way he saw his way out was to go equip yourself, train yourself and take over." Even though, the comic origin of the character has been altered by the filmmakers, they were still able to give fans a clear idea on why Killmonger turned out to be a misunderstood person, who was forced to become a villain. This is what makes Eric “Killmonger” Stevens the best MCU antagonist ever.

Captain America: Civil War Explains The Difference Between Killmonger And T’Challa


The third installment of MCU’s Captain America Trilogy, Captain America Civil War was one the most important MCU movie ever. Captain America Civil War was crucial to MCU not because it divided the Avengers but because it introduced two iconic Marvel superheroes, Spider-Man and Black Panther.

The web crawler, Spider-Man played by Tom Holland got his solo movie a year ago. Even though Spidey is one most popular and best Marvel heroes, fans were more excited to see a solo Black Panther movie because of three reasons. The first reason is that the top-notch performance from second reason while the second was that fans wanted MCU to explore the fictional nation of Wakanda, which has an extensive collection of Vibranium.

The final reason was that some of the founding members of MCU’s Avengers will exit the franchise by Avengers Infinity War or the untitled Avengers 4 movie. So, you will need a strong and capable leader to lead the Avengers and Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther is one of the leading contenders who could lead a new team of Avengers.

Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa leaped straight into the action after the death of his father, T’Chaka in Captain America Civil War.  About two years later, Black Panther is on a solo mission against a greater foe, Erik Stevens aka Killmonger played by Michael B Jordan. If you have seen the movie, you will be well aware that Black Panther and Killmonger are similar in a number of aspects. However, the producer of the movie, Nate Moore recently stated that Captain America Civil War shows how Black Panther is different from Killmonger.


He said, “You feel the sympathy but you realize he never got over this awful thing that happened to him as a kid, right but was never able to circumvent that and become a good person. He actually becomes a bad person because of it, because vengeance consumes him to a degree he becomes a killer and has plans of essentially mass murder. Interestingly enough, T'Challa makes the opposite choice at the end of Captain America: Civil War, right? So there, he's confronted with Zemo and decides not to do the thing that I think Killmonger would have done immediately. That is where they are two sides of a different coin in a way because the men who they are dictate how they react to that very tragic circumstance.”

Even though the motives and reasons of Killmonger does makes him a reasonable guy, his actions depicts that Killmonger and Black Panther are two opposite sides of a coin. Black Panther will return for the next Avengers movie, Avengers Infinity War, which is scheduled for a May 4 release.

Ryan Coogler Writes an Emotional Letter to Black Panther Fans


Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther is not just another success MCU movie that will beat box office records instead it is a flat out phenomenon, which was an absolute treat to MCU fans and casual movie lovers.  As per reports, MCU’s Black Panther has earned 202 million dollars in just three days after its opening. The only other Avengers movie that has acquired more money in the box office was The Avengers

As Marvel fans and movie lovers are enjoying the massive success of Black Panther, the director of the movie, Ryan Coogler is speechless but he still does have a few things to say to fans. Ryan Coogler, who has enjoyed success with Creed and Fruitvale Station has made history, as Black Panther is the highest grossing film in the United States, which was directed by a black director. Coogler celebrated the success of Black Panther by writing an emotional letter to shows his gratitude to fans.

Coogler Wrote, “I am struggling to find the words to express my gratitude at this moment, but I will try. Filmmaking is a team sport. And our team was made up [of] amazing people from all over the world who believe in this story. Deep down we all hoped that people would come to see a film about a fictional country on the continent of Africa, made up of a cast of people of African descent.”


He added, “Never in a million years did we imagine that you all would come out this strong. It still humbles me to think that people care enough to spend their money and time watching our film- But to see people of all backgrounds wearing clothing that celebrates their heritage, taking pictures next to our posters with their friends and family, and sometimes dancing in the lobbies of theaters– often moved me and my wife to tears. For the people who bought out theaters, who posted on social about how lit the film would be, bragged about our awesome cast, picked out outfits to wear, and who stood in line in theaters all over the world– all before seeing the film.”

He concluded his letter by adding, “To the press who wrote about the film for folks who hadn’t yet seen it, and encouraged audiences to come out. And to the young ones, who came out with their parents, with their mentors, and with their friend. Thank you for giving our team of filmmakers the greatest gift: The opportunity to share this film, that we poured our hearts and souls into, with you.”

It is possible that Coogler might return to direct Black Panther 2 but there hasn’t been any official confirmation. However, it is evident that Kevin Feige and Marvel Studious will love to have the visionary and extremely talented Ryan Coogler back. Black Panther and some of his allies will be back for Avengers Infinity War, which is just a couple of months away from release.
