10 MCU Phase 4 Rumours That Could Change Everything

1. Killmonger Returns

It's been discussed almost since the moment he was killed off at the end of the first Black Panther movie, but now it looks like rumours of Erik Killmonger's return to the MCU from beyond the grave might well be true.

We already know that Michael B Jordan will revive his role as the ouster Wakandan prince in the What If...? animated show on Disney+ but another rumour - courtesy of the 4Chan leak - suggests that he will also have a minor role in Black Panther II.

Quite how that could even be possible when he's dead is anyone's guess, but it wouldn't be the first time dead characters have appeared to living ones. If T'Challa and Shuri are looking for a means to replace the Heart Shaped Herb as a way to channel the powers of their ancestors to ensure further Black Panthers can follow the current King, a trip into the after-life may not be entirely out of place.
