Black Knight has been rumoured to be a part of Endgame for a while now, ever since MCU Cosmic reporter Jeremy Conrad claimed on Twitter that Marvel "have a plan" for the character, and "already know how he'll be introduced." Those same rumours were bolstered by reports that Marvel are planning to reprint several old Avengers stories to coincide with Endgame's release, one of which even shares the film's namesake, while both also feature the Black Knight character predominantly.

The character's sword, the Ebony Blade, was also set to appear in Doctor Strange until it was pulled from set just before filming. Given other such mystical artefacts in the film were kept in, such as the staff of the Living Tribunal, could it be the case that Marvel pulling the blade is our first proper sign that Black Knight will appear?

Although the prospect of seeing a character as obscure as Black Knight in Endgame may seem an unlikely one, it's important to reiterate that there's still a great deal about the film that we don't really know about. With that in mind, it stands to reason that the Black Knight character could turn up in some capacity, even if it is something just as brief as a cameo.
