Avengers: Endgame - 13 Major Questions After The Trailer

10. Did Shuri Survive The Decimation?

One of the MCU's more pivotal characters whose status wasn't revealed at the end of Infinity War is T'Challa's (Chadwick Boseman) sister Shuri (Letitia Wright).

Adding to the mystery is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot in the Endgame trailer where Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) is viewing a picture of Shuri with the word "missing" underneath it.

This of course is no confirmation either way, and though Angela Bassett - who plays T'Challa's mother Queen Ramonda - claimed both she and Shuri survived the snap, the Russos have refused to give a definite answer.

It'd be pretty weird for such a vital character to just be dusted off-screen, though her potential survival does invite further questions, namely why Shuri is missing. Could she have gone into hiding? Could she be secretly working on some tech to help The Avengers travel back in time?

It's entirely possible that whoever took over leadership in Wakanda chose to re-close their borders to the world following the Decimation, which would neatly explain why none of The Avengers have been able to reach her.
