It's not a huge surprise that Shuri has taken the Black Panther mantle and we're loving the idea of T'Challa's clever little sister finally getting the spotlight. With that in mind, we can't wait to see her in action later this year.

Although it was pretty obvious that Shuri would take over as Black Panther, some people are still concerned about the late Chadwick Boseman's absence in Wakanda Forever. Daniel Kaluuya recently pointed out that people might not be too happy that Boseman isn't in the film.

"If I said anything, people would be really disappointed. That's how I feel about it. I think people will be disappointed. They don't want to be spoiled. They're surprised in whatever will happen. That's what was amazing about the first one," Kaluuya said.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will star Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, and Angela Bassett, who have all been confirmed to return in the movie. The film will premiere in theaters on November 11, 2022.
