The Marvel Cinematic Universe has numerous TV and film properties, though a couple of stand out as fan favorites. Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther is certainly in that class, and its sequel Wakanda Without end was a robust meditation on grief which additionally noticed a brand new Panther tackle the mantle. And actress Leittia Wright just lately opened up about Shuri’s future within the MCU. Let’s break all of it down.
Black Panther 2 was very a lot centered on Shuri, and the way she was grieving her brother T’Challa’s loss of life a yr after his loss of life. All through the film Angela Bassett’s Queen Ramonda was killed off, and Shuri discovered a strategy to replicate the heart-shaped herb and turn out to be the following Panther. Letitia Wright spoke to Folks about her signature character’s future, saying:
The best way we finish [Wakanda Forever], it positively reveals that this character goes to go on a therapeutic journey. She has tasks as an auntie, and as somebody who is without doubt one of the final remaining members of the royal household. That is, sadly, simply one thing that she’s coping with.
Properly, I’m positively able to see the Princess of Wakanda again on the large display screen, particularly now that she’s the brand new Black Panther. Along with any superheroics which might be coming down the road, Wright additionally highlighted the emotional interpersonal tales that may seemingly be explored. This consists of the twist ending of Black Panther: Wakanda Without end, which revealed that T’Challa and Nakia had a baby earlier than his loss of life.

Now Shuri is the one one left… apart from her newly found nephew.
Black Panther: Wakanda Without end left quite a lot of questions, together with precisely who’s ruling the fictional nation. Whereas Shuri grew to become the brand new Panther, she didn’t do a trial to turn out to be Queen. As an alternative it was closely implied that M’Baku was lastly going to take the throne. Later in the identical interview with Folks, Letitia Wright pointed to the supply materials about Shuri’s future, saying:
[The] comedian books reveal so much.
Properly, I’m actually intrigued. Sadly, there’s no indication as to when Letitia Wright’s signature character may return to the large display screen. Maybe the obvious alternative could be Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, which is anticipated to be the shared universe’s subsequent large crossover second. Nevertheless it’s at present unclear which characters can be included. Though Simu Liu does appear to imagine Shang-Chi can be in on the enjoyable.
The following MCU film hitting theaters is The Marvels on November tenth. Within the meantime, try the 2023 film launch dates to plan your subsequent film expertise.
