It’s nearly here folks, we’re only a few weeks out before Avengers: Endgame is FINALLY here and we can get that sense of closure that was robbed from us 12 months ago when Infinity War ended with Thanos turning half the universe’s populated into dust.
Now anything spoilery or plot-related to Endgame has been kept under complete lockdown by Marvel, so much so that the cast has had to come up with increasingly creative ways to dodge any questions related to the movie.
Which brings us to Chadwick Boseman, who was asked recently at CinemaCon about what was going on with his character, T’Challa, in Endgame since he was dusted in Infinity War, as well as the goss on what’s happening with Black Panther 2 since, well, he’s dead.
Whereas someone like Chris Evans or Robert Downey Jr. would deftly swing the conversation around to something else with their charm, Chadwick decided to go full, somewhat unintentional troll.
The interviewer bombarded Chadwick with questions ranging from T’Challa and Black Panther’s in Endgame to Black Panther 2. His response to every single question? Simply, “I’m dead.”
His opinion about the hype for Endgame? Dead.
Thoughts about not wanting to share spoilers? Dead.
Black Panther 2? Dead.
It truly is a masterclass in nicely trolling an interviewer and it looks like Chadwick was channelling his inner smartass Shuri for it. In his defence, Marvel probably had anti-spoilers snipers or agents stationed nearby just in case anyone spilled any deets, so really he’s protecting everyone by not telling us anything.

To be fair, he isn’t wrong and T’Challa is clearly at the pearly gates. That being said, you just know Chadwick will be back in that black vibranium panther suit for Black Panther 2 at some point because there’s just no way they’re not going to make a sequel to a movie that made over $1 billion.
We won’t have long to find out just how T’Challa becomes un-dead when Endgame comes out on April 24. For now, let’s just enjoy Chadwick Boseman trolling the hell out of everyone because it’s a nice little entree before the three-hour plus feast that awaits us in a few weeks time.
