Chadwick Boseman repeatedly says 'I'm dead' to avoiding 'Avengers: Endgame' spoilers

'It's great but I'm dead.'

We're sorry to bring up this painful memory, but as a reminder, at this very moment Chadwick Boseman's Black Panther character, T'Challa, is dead.

The Black Panther was one of many people (half the world's population, to be exact) killed by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, and ahead of Avengers: Endgame, Boseman's decided to keep his mouth shut during press interviews to avoid spoilers.

In a recent red carpet interview with Access, when asked about Boseman's future with Marvel, he simply said, "I'm dead." He repeated it so many times that is shook us to our cores, and after a few seconds the video felt pretty relatable.

"People are ready to see this movie. They're buying the tickets, it's nuts. I mean, how does that feel to know that they love this film so much?" the interviewer asks Boseman.

"It's great but I'm dead so I can't answer any questions about that," he bluntly replied.

"So you don't want to give us a spoiler or anything like that?" the reporter continued, to which he again reminded her, "I'm dead."

She asked if there's anything Boseman could tell fans about a potential Black Panther sequel, and Boseman echoed, "I'm dead." And when the reporter explained, "Noooo. We're not ready for you to be dead, Chadwick," he did not let her down easy.

"But I am. I'm dead," he said.

The repetition, facial expressions, and camera zooms in Boseman's "I'm dead" video make for a truly relatable masterpiece, and Twitter users were inspired to turn the clip into a meme.

Perhaps after Avengers: Endgame Boseman can pass along these interview responses to Chris Evans, whose character Captain America is believed to be headed for death.
