Marvel Prepares to "Avenge the Fallen" in New 'Avengers: Endgame' Posters
With the release of Avengers: Endgame just a month away as of today, new character posters spotlighting the various heroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have debuted on social media, offering a reminder of who’s still active — and redefining the name of the franchise in the process.
Each of the posters spotlights one of the MCU’s heroes — including some unexpected choices; Jon Favreau’s Happy Hogan gets one, as does Tom Hiddleston’s Loki — in a portrait with each hero looking off camera, with a simple color code: Those active during the time of Endgame’s opening, i.e., those who survived Thanos' Snap, are in full color, while those turned to dust are black and white.
As part of this, at least one casualty was confirmed for the first time: Shuri gets a black-and-white poster, meaning that, although it happened offscreen, she was killed as part of the Snapture. Sorry, everyone who hoped she would secretly be the new Black Panther.
All posters feature the tagline “Avenge the Fallen,” which both offers a new definition of the Avengers title and a callback to 2012’s first Avengers movie, wherein a defiant Tony Stark told Loki, “If we can’t protect the Earth, you can be damn sure we’ll avenge it.” Of course, this time, the stakes are far bigger than just the Earth, with the entire universe — or, at least, 50 percent of it — up for grabs.
But they're not really dead, are they?
My understanding is they were erased from the universe.But they're not really dead, are they?

You mean that those two characters are gone? I hope someone doesn't come along and say it's a racist poster because of the black & white images and the color ones.Black Panther and Nick Fury? That doesn't seem possible.
It's not about race. It's because they are major characters, in the movies and comics. There's no way they are gone for good.You mean that those two characters are gone? I hope someone doesn't come along and say it's a racist poster because of the black & white images and the color ones.
He's an immortal. He'll be back.What about Thor, he is Mighty once more, or will he fall?...

Black Panther and Nick Fury? That doesn't seem possible.
But the character (Fury) still exists in a new incarnation. That seems to be done fairly often in recent decades. Rarely is a character simply terminated. And I've read that Jackson had signed a multi-year deal with the studio.You do know they are fictional characters and can be erased with the stroke of a screenwriter's pen don't you?
The original Nick Fury was an American of English extraction.
Samuel L. Jackson doesn't look English.
I strongly suspect Doctor Doom will actually be the next big bad.
I think it will be Kane the Conquerer...
