Danai Gurira's name added to Avengers: Endgame poster following fan backlash

Gurira, who plays Okoye in the superhero epic, featured in the original poster which was released alongside a brand new trailer for the hotly anticipated film.

• Black Panther earns historic Best Picture nomination at the Oscars
• When is Avengers: Endgame released in cinemas?

But fans questioned why the Black Panther star’s name was excluded from the credits at the top.

Others pointed out that it was a particularly bad omission given that Gurira is the only black woman to feature on the poster.

Marvel then uploaded a revised version of the official poster with Gurira now credited at the top.

Saying it was a mistake, Marvel wrote, “She should have been up there all this time."

Avengers: Endgame is due for release on 26th April, just over a month after their latest movie, Captain Marvel, hit cinemas.
