Black Panther: Wakanda Forever made the best of an unimaginable situation in 2022. King T’Challa won’t be recast in the MCU; instead, his younger sister Shuri (Letitia Wright) will take on his duties as the next Black Panther. Ideally, she’ll get more opportunities in the future, especially with Avengers: Doomsday around the corner. The Black Panther will return in Avengers: Doomsday. Avengers: Doomsday opens in theaters on December 18.
