Following the tragic death of actor Chadwick Boseman, there has been rampant speculation as to how Marvel Studios will handle the wildly popular Black Panther character moving forward. A King T’Challa recast? A new hero assuming the mantle? A resurrected or alternate universe Killmonger becoming the new Black Panther?
Although the new trailer for Ryan Coogler’s anticipated Black
Panther sequel Wakanda Forever doesn’t truly answer any questions,
it does give fans their first look at who will be donning the Black Panther
suit during at least one point in the film – and it’s definitely a woman.
One might presume that it’s Shuri (Letitia Wright) picking up
where her big brother left off, but we won’t have a definite answer until the
film arrives in theaters Nov. 11. But we do know based on what we see in
the trailer that there will be INTENSE conflict between Wakanda’s Queen Ramonda
and the Atlantean ruler Namor (Tenoch Huerta). We’re also introduced to Riri
Williams (Dominique Thorne), who we see suited up and taking flight in her
Ironheart suit for the first time ever.
The trailer aims to get us to buy tickets to Black
Panther: Wakanda Forever – they’re now available – and honestly, after
seeing what this film has in store, how could you not?!

Forever below.
