How The Avengers Could Line Up After Infinity War

6. Black Panther

There is no way Black Panther isn't a part of the Avengers going forward. There just isn't.

A member of the team in its current form, King T'Challa's relationship with Earth's Mightiest Heroes took on a whole new level of salience in Black Panther's mid-credits sequence. The ending marks a shift in Wakandan foreign policy, with the once isolated nation now making efforts to provide foreign and diplomatic aid around the globe.

That policy too applies to Black Panther's place on the Avengers, and with Wakanda already set to play a prominent part in repelling Thanos' invading hoards, you can expect the King to be taking a pivotal role on the team for the foreseeable future.

Chadwick Boseman's character is a veritable titan of the franchise these days. To say he's not a mighty hero, certainly not by the Avengers standards, would just be wrong.
