Avengers: Endgame - Everything You Need To Know About Black Knight

2. Marvel May Be Teasing It With Their Comics

Although Conrad's claim that Black Knight would appear in the MCU had no known source or even evidence, an interesting development has emerged in the weeks since, and it's all thanks to Marvel themselves.

Since the MCU exploded onto the scene in 2008, Marvel Comics have went to great lengths to cash in on the popularity of those films. They've made changes to the comics based on certain portrayals from the big screen, and have reprinted numerous comics to tie into certain releases too, with Jim Starlin and George Perez's Infinity Gauntlet even going on to become the top-selling graphic novel of 2018.

So, with that in mind, it stands to reason that the publisher will want to do the same with Endgame. Fortunate for us, it was recently revealed that the company would be making a new wave of their 'True Believer' series, which are reprints of classic issues set to hit shelves at the same time Endgame hits theatres.

As noted by Newsarama, two of the issues scheduled to release are reprints of Avengers #71 and #343, the first of which is even titled "Endgame!". That issue also saw the introduction of Black Knight to the team, while #343 sees the character fighting the Swordsman, the man who trained Clint Barton.
