In the comic books, Shuri has taken on the mantle of the Black Panther for a time when T’Challa was incapacitated, so perhaps this is something we might get to see playing out in the inevitable sequel to the box office smash.
Asked about that very possibility by Comic Book, Wright responded: “I hope, whenever the time is right if it’s meant to happen, I would happily do it. But you can’t have a Shuri movie without T’Challa and you can’t have a Shuri movie without Ramonda and Nakia and the rest of the Dora Milaje and Okoye. So, I guess, the question is: when can we have Black Panther 2?”
