Avengers 4: Endgame Trailer Breakdown - 12 Things You Need To See
9. Shuri Might Be Missing
Marvel Studios
While we did, at first, believe Shuri to have survived Thanos' snap, the trailer for Avengers: Endgame casts doubt on her fate.
Remember, we never saw what happened to T'Challa's sister after she was defending Vision on the operating table, and though there's still a good chance she's fine, the fact that Letitia Wright's character can be seen on a list of missing persons reports does potentially mean her whereabouts are unaccounted for.
Even grimmer, perhaps, is the fact that Peter Parker's face flashes over hers shortly afterwards. But the fact remains that they're all only considered to be 'missing' - not dead, missing.
It's clear that the Avengers haven't given up hope, and with Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner studying these profiles in the trailer, it could be possible that he becomes a key architect in the plan to bring those lost to Thanos back from the dead.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
