Avengers 4: Endgame Trailer Breakdown - 12 Things You Need To See
7. ...And Where Are The Others?
Marvel Studios
One of the most fascinating things about the Endgame teaser was, in a way, what it didn't show. Among those not present to have survived Thanos' snap include Okoye, M'Baku and Rocket Raccoon, and with all three confirmed to feature in Avengers 4 in some way, it could be possible that their absence belies their true role in the film's story.
In Rocket's case, there's no way he's not on Earth. He'd find it very difficult to leave without a ship, having only made it to the planet curtesy of Thor in the first place, and having had to watch his best friend die AGAIN, would he really be that compelled to keep moving?
Less clear is the situation of Wakanda. There were rumours that Winston Duke's M'Baku could take over as the leader of the nation, but that remains to be seen. Given Shuri is missing, and with Okoye still unaccounted for too, it's one of the most interesting situations to speculate on.
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.
