9 Movie Characters You Didn't Realise Didn't Die

9. Killmonger - Black Panther

Black Panther’s setting and cast made it a runaway success and a deeply important moment for Marvel fans from all walks of life. “Wakanada Forever” was everywhere for a while and its two male leads, Chadwick Boseman and Michael B. Jordan, became megastars.

Despite being a murderous warrior and terrorist, fans were saddened to see antagonist Killmonger go at the end of Black Panther thanks to a sympathetic and powerful portrayal by Jordan. Thankfully however, it seems as though we might not have seen the last of him.

On the red carpet for the 2019 Screen Actors Guild Awards, Angela Bassett (who played Ramonda in Black Panther) was asked if everyone would return for the immediately green-lit sequel. Playing coy she answered “I assume so” before her husband, fellow actor Courtney B. Vance interrupted to give Killmonger fans hope.

“Go ahead and say it, yes” he chimed in “Everyone will be there, including Michael B.”

As noted by Bassett herself, and observed by Black Panther viewers, we didn’t see Killmonger's outright death. You have to follow the old adage of “if we didn’t see a body…” sometimes, and it seems Courtney B. Vance knows something we don’t. Considering the weight Jordan brought to the role, it would be a crime if we never saw Killmonger again.
