Avengers: Endgame
avenger : Endgame ’s all - distaff A - Force squad - up scene almost admit anotherBlack Panthercharacter , Nakia ( Lupita Nyong’o ) . One of the benefits of the monolithic Marvel Cinematic Universe crossover was getting to see different characters interact who had n’t before . BothAvengers : Infinity WarandAvengers : Endgameincluded interactions of this kind , but one of the most discussed team - ups was theMCU ’s female heroes joining forcesat the terminal of the twenty-second film .
In the heat of the last battle , Captain Marvel ( Brie Larson ) come backto pull through the daylight . She ’s task with take the Infinity Gauntlet and putting into the Quantum Tunnel so Thanos can not get it . The only problem is that his entire army stands between her and the miniaturized tunnel in the back of Scott Lang ’s vanguard . To combat the opposing forces , Captain Marvel is soon surrounded by the MCU ’s big female maven - withBlack Widow ( Scarlett Johansson)being an obvious exception .

The batting order that came to Captain Marvel ’s help instead featured Scarlet Witch ( Elizabeth Olsen ) , Valkyrie ( Tessa Thompson ) , Gamora ( Zoe Saldana ) , Nebula ( Karen Gillan ) , Mantis ( Pom Klementieff ) , Wasp ( Evangeline Lilly ) , Okoye ( Danai Gurira ) , Shuri ( Letitia Wright ) , and Pepper Potts ( Gwyneth Paltrow ) . However , conception fine art by Andy Park fromThe prowess of Avengers : Endgameshows that the squad could ’ve had an additional appendage in Nakia .
While Nakia is show ( in the background ) in this construct artistry for the all - female tantrum , there were never any reports that Lupita Nyong’o was in discussions to come back forAvengers : Endgame . Nakia isnot seen in either of the twoAvengersfilms , but also is n’t even advert . However , this conception nontextual matter is a capital monitor of her absence seizure in the movie , as she ’s one of the most big distaff heroes around in the MCU that is n’t part of the conflict . If anA - Forcemovie chance though , hopefully , Nakia will be part of that lineup .
But , where has Nakia been during the last several years in the MCU ? To this point , we still do not get it on whether she was a snap dupe or not . She was last see inBlack PantherattendingT’Challa ’s meeting with the United Nationsin Vienna and was dress up to lead Wakanda ’s outreach political platform . But this construct artistic production forAvengers : Endgamepoints to a fourth dimension when it was consider to have her join the final battle , despite not being inInfinity War ’s Wakanda battle - unless that was also planned at one point . We do n’t know why they decided not to apply Nakia in these movies , but perhaps Lupita was simply too busy to make the programming study . Now , it will be up toBlack Panther 2to show fan what Nakia was up to duringAvengers : Endgameinstead of appearing in this scene , if she give for the MCU sequel .
