I'm dead: Chadwick on Endgame questions

Los Angeles: Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman channelled his inner Groot at a press conference for Avengers: Endgame, answering every question on the film with a now-viral line: "I'm dead".

Boseman's King T'Challa was among the 16 superheroes who turned to dust in the aftermath of Thanos' finger snap in Avengers: Infinity War.

While fans expect most of the superheroes, including Black Panther, to be resurrected in the second part, Boseman is not ready to spill the beans, reported IndieWire, sharing his amusing exchange with a reporter.

People are ready to see this movie. Boseman: Of course. They're buying the tickets, it's nuts. How does that feel to know people love this film so much?

Boseman: It's great, but I'm dead. So I can't answer any questions about that.

On being asked if he doesn't want to give any spoilers, Boseman replied, "I'm dead." And when a reporter said "We're not ready for you to be dead, Chadwick!", he again said, "But I am. I'm dead."

Clearly, directors Anthony and Joe Russo don't have to worry about Boseman giving out spoilers about the movie unlike co-stars Mark Ruffalo and Tom Holland.

Co-director Joe, who was recently in India to kickstart the film's promotional tour, had said that they went to extra lengths to keep the plot secret even from the actors.

But despite precautions, Ruffalo had ended up sharing a bit too much, actually the entire climax of Infinity War, in an interview months before its release.

"Wait till you see this next one, half... everybody dies," Ruffalo had said.
