The inspiration behind this video:

Letitia Wright feels like the obvious choice to replace Chadwick Boseman in the role. Her character, Shuri, is a member of Wakanda’s royal family and T’Challa’s brother, seemingly making her next in line. She’s also basically achieved superhero status in previous movies thanks to her incredible intellect. A new poster released on October 3 by Marvel also seems to confirm this theory, placing Shuri at the center of the action. Either this is a misdirect, or Black Panther 2 just revealed its title superhero. After the first trailer hinted that Lupita Nyong’o was destined for the role, we thought it was a sure thing. This new trailer and poster don’t exactly support that theory, but they don’t disprove it either. Nakia also has the field experience you would need to become the Black Panther, and is sure to play a major role in Wakanda Forever either way. It’s also possible that multiple characters could take on the mantle in Black Panther 2. What if both Shuri and Nakia inhabit the role at different points in the movie?
