Wakanda for Ever: Black PantherOn November 11th, the MCU story and Chadwick Bolseman’s legacy will be told. The identity of the Black Panther will also be revealed. That’s a lot to ask from the sequel that already has a challenging task ahead: It needs to be at least as good as the origin story from several years ago.
Marvel’s marketing campaign is in full swing, and the studio just released a brand new TV clip titled Wakanda: Long Live Wakanda. It’s not exactly a trailer, but it delivers plenty of new footage from Wakanda Forever. Ironheart is also included in this blurry view.
But there’s a different tidbit that’s even more exciting. Marvel might have accidentally revealed who the next Black Panther is.
You’ll want to To avoid MCU spoilers, keep your eyes closed.Because a huge one is coming down below.
Who is Marvel’s new Black Panther?
Chadwick Boseman’s tragic death shocked the world and the industry a few years ago. Marvel decided not to recast the T’Challa role, which added a complication to the Wakanda Forever sequel. A Black Panther story with a new character in the superhero costume would be required by the studio.
Marvel never revealed who will take the Black Panther role now that King T’Challa has died. The trailers we saw so far indicated that Marvel will honor Boseman’s legacy, and King T’Challa, in the movie.
Marvel teased the Black Panther in the trailer. In the second trailer, we learn that Black Panther will be a female. Wakanda Forever.
That was always a possibility for the MCU position. Shuri seemed set to assume the role. Such talk was in place even before Boseman’s untimely death.
Wakanda ForeverLeaks suggested that Shuri might not be the new protector for Wakanda. Or that the armor would be worn by multiple people.
The Black Panther ritual is not possible anymore, due to the lack of the magic herb.
The new Wakanda ForeverTelevision clip
Marvel has just released the Marvel New Avengers. Black Panther 2 promo clip you’ll see at the end of this post. It reveals many things, such as the fact that someone is covered with Vibranium. This powerful metal helped Wakanda become one of the most developed nations on Earth.
It’s Shuri who says as much to Ramonda (Angela Bassett). The scene in which the Queen is ready to fight is also thrilling. Not to be forgotten, Ramonda was likely a fierce fighter in her youth.
We also get a better look at Ironheart, Dominicique Thorne. The MCU’s Iron Man replacement is fighting Namor (Tenoch Huerta) in some scenes and flying in others. However, we still can’t get a better look at the Iron-Man-like suit. That’s how fast those cuts are.
The best thing about the movie is watching the Black Panther fight in various scenes. And it’s in one of them that the new superhero twists in the air to fire gauntlets similar to what Shuri has worn in previous MCU movies. Like Endgame.
Is Shuri the new Black Panther or is she just another Shuri?
Marvel loves to mislead its fans with its MCU trailers, clips. This was what we saw with films like There is no way homeAnd Multiverse of Madness.
The studio is aware that fans will make the connection. The new Black Panther wearing gauntlets similar to Shuri’s must mean that T’Challa’s sister ascended to the role. And Marvel certainly wants this debate before the movie’s premiere. It’ll only drive up fan interest and ticket sales. It beats the Superman-in-the-credits scene trick.
This TV ad could be misleading, however. Marvel might want to make us believe that she’s getting the role. Shuri is an incredibly brilliant human being with advanced technology. She would certainly assist anyone wearing the armor. She’d create and adapt it to the user without having to wear it herself.
So, who else could it be if it’s not Shuri getting the suit? Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) is another option for becoming the MCU’s new Black Panther. But that’s pure speculation at this point.
