Letitia Wright reveals that BlackPantherWakandaForever was originally intended to have two Black Panthers. 'I knew the weight of it, but it was just bittersweet, something I struggled with a lot.'
After finally getting to don the suit, Letitia Wright reveals that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever originally included two Black Panthers. The Marvel Cinematic Universe sequel saw Wright's Shuri and her family and eponymous country grappling with the loss of King T'Challa, tying into the real-life death of actor Chadwick Boseman from colon cancer in 2020.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY While appearing on the Empire Movie Podcast, Letitia Wright opened up about becoming Wakanda's new protector in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The MCU star confirmed that not only was it always the plan for Shuri to get her own suit, but that the recently released sequel originally included two Black Panthers with her and T'Challa, though this changed following the death of Chadwick Boseman.
It was bittersweet. Shuri was always gonna do it. But it was gonna be done in a different way where her brother was gonna be alongside her, really explore that, like the comic books, the ways that T'Challa and Shuri would be Black Panther alongside each other and try to figure out how to defend their nation. But unfortunately that's not how it panned out. I knew the responsibility, I knew the weight of it, but it was just bittersweet, something I struggled with a lot.
Though Shuri ultimately became the sole Black Panther in the film, the question does remain as to whether the MCU's future could see multiple incarnations of the hero exist. Given Shuri was able to reconstruct the heart-shaped herb utilizing an herb from the Talokan by the end of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the door is open for another to take on the mantle and become Wakanda's protector.
However, while the first film indicated that the power must be stripped from the prior wearer of the suit for such a challenge, M'Baku's respect for Shuri and vice versa in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever as the two grieved T'Challa and Ramonda's deaths could see the former allow the latter to keep her powers and suit.
