MCU: 10 Greatest Black Panther Moments

In the 12 months between Infinity War and Endgame, it became Hollywood's worst kept secret that the heroes that were snapped away by Thanos would be returning alive and well. We all knew it would happen - we just didn't know how or when.

As Captain America stood up to the entirety of Thanos' forces, he was offered a helping hand at the very last second. When Sam told Cap to look to his left, everyone in the cinema got goosebumps, as the entire audience collectively held their breath as Doctor Strange's first portal opened.

The first three characters that stepped through onto the battlefield were T'Challa, Shuri, and Okoye, in what would become one of the movie's many iconic moments. Everyone was shocked when T'Challa was dusted in Infinity War, and even though we knew he would return, his appearance in Endgame was nothing short of heart stopping.

It is a testament to T'Challa's character and his importance to the MCU that he was chosen to be the first superhero to return. Standing strong, T'Challa stepped forward to proudly defend the world, offering his help and possibly his life to fight along side Earth's Mightiest Heroes for another time.
