'Avengers: Infinity War' star confirms their character is indeed dead

The ending of Avengers: Infinity War crushed the hearts of Marvel fans everywhere. While most expect that a majority of our fallen heroes will return in Avengers: Endgame, there are those who fear that not everyone will come back. Now, Anthony Mackie has confirmed that our beloved Falcon is indeed dead.

BRB, crying my eyes out.

The Marvel star appeared on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon where Fallon himself asked if Falcon was really gone.

“Well, obviously, if you didn’t see part three [Avengers: Infinity War], spoiler alert, I died,” Mackie says. “A lot of people died. So I’m gainfully unemployed. And that’s why I’m doing other movies now.”

There are still fans that are questioning if our fallen Avengers REALLY died, or if they were simply sent to another universe or dimension.

Mackie’s response suggests that he won’t appear in Endgame, but we have to admit, we’re skeptical.

It’s obvious Marvel keeps their actors and actresses on lockdown, only allowing them to reveal so much in regards to upcoming films. So if Falcon is one of the heroes who will return, would Mackie even be able to tell us?

We have questions.

While Marvel is doing a heck of a job keeping the upcoming film’s secrets in a vault, there have been a few leaks in regards to our favorite heroes.

A few leaked photos of some Endgame toys suggest that one character in particular may not have actually died like we all originally thought.

One thing is for sure, we’ll be sitting on the edge of our seats as we wait for our questions to be answered.

Avengers: Endgame hits theaters April 26. You can watch the film’s official trailer, below.

Do you think Falcon is really dead? Which of our Marvel heroes do you think will actually come back? Sound off those theories in the comments below!
