Black Panther Star Letitia Wright who played Shuri in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) may have given away an Avengers 4 spoiler when discussing which actor she enjoyed working with on set. Her response, Chris Pratt was a co-star who she never shared the set in the first half of the two-part Thanos saga.
“Chris Pratt was genuinely a great person," Wright said at a London Comic Con. "He would like give me bible scriptures out of nowhere and then do a dance and leave. He’s great. I love Chris Pratt," she said.
Of course, if this is a slip in reference to having worked together in Avengers 4, it not only implies that Shuri survived Thanos' finger snap to wipe out half of the universe at the end of Avengers: Infinity War. It also means that Pratt's Star-Lord, who was wiped away from existence by Thanos' efforts, will be revived in some way and share the screen with Shuri.
It is now known that there's a scene in Avengers 4 that includes "every character", but Wright's comment confirms Shuri and Star-Lord meet in the upcoming Marvel film - whether it's in that specific scene or not. Further, Wright's answer reveals not only that Star-Lord's death at the end of Infinity War is undone in Avengers 4, but he somehow winds up on Earth (or Shuri goes to space, but that option seems somewhat less likely). Star-Lord returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe isn't too much of a surprise, Pratt is expected to be in Guardians of the Galaxy 3, after all. However, now we know Star-Lord returns to Earth and crosses paths with the princess of Wakanda.
So, although Wright's comments from MCM London Comic Con appeared benign, they actually offer a pretty big Avengers 4 spoiler regarding Star-Lord's character. Still, how exactly he comes back to life and winds up on Earth remains to be seen. Fans will have to wait until Avengers 4 hits theaters next year to learn what happens after Thanos has wiped out half the universe.
Leading up to the release of Avengers: Infinity War, directors Joe and Anthony Russo started the #ThanosDemandsYourSilence hashtag in order to prevent fans from spoiling others before they'd had a chance to see the movie.
Infinity War was also Marvel's most secretive project to date, which, considering Marvel Studios' reputation for secrecy, is undoubtedly saying something. However, human error accounted for certain spoilers still making their way into the world. In fact, Mark Ruffalo spoiled Infinity War last year.
