His role as Killmonger received a lot of empathy and quickly gained a solid fan base that was devastated when the character died.

Black Panther was set in Wakanda, and at the beginning of the film, Killmonger's father was killed by King T'Chaka.

To avenge his father, he plotted his return to Wakanda and defeated T'Challa in a battle for the crown.

Killmonger's death at the end of Black Panther signaled the death of the hope that Jordan would feature as Killmonger in future MCU movies.

Jordan made an open-ended comment to MTV News that birthed new hope that Killmonger might be revived for future movies.

Some unconfirmed reports spread that Marvel intended to revive Killmonger, but they would have to use a crazy loophole to make it work.

Jordan voiced over as Killmonger in episode six of Marvel's What If? Series where he changed the timeline and was the rightful King of Wakanda.

Fans of Killmonger still have hope that Marvel will pull a twist and bring him back or that he will come back through the Loki multiverse.
