IN this video we run through the possibilities and lay down the odds. We talk about. W’Kabi, M’Baku, Ramonda, Killmonger, Makia, Okoye, and Shuri–and tell you who would provide us with the best story.

Well who is the new Black Panther?

In this video we’re going to run through every single possibility, tell you the odds, and most importantly–we’re going to break down which option would make for the best story–and offer up a few theories.

So people like W’kabi, MBaku, Killmonger–everyone who is Wakandan is on the board.

First, I want to say this movie presents the most unique story in the MCU. The passing of Chadwick Boseman was an incredible shame. The man was an incredible talent. So when Marvel decided to not recast the character, they were essentially killing off their lead character of a franchise one story in.

This is something we’ve never seen in a movie before. Imagine if Steve Rogers died in the opening sequence of the Winter Soldier, or if Palladium would have taken out Tony in Iron Man 2. This is a storytelling opportunity on the level of the Red Wedding, where we have absolutely no idea what is going to happen next.

Plus, the characters in the movie will be experiencing grief and trauma–just like the audience’s very real feeling about Chadwick Boseman’s death. Add into this that there is a mystery about the new Black Panther–we’ve never seen a superhero movie where we don’t know the density of a superhero before.

I wish with all my heart that Chadwick Boseman was still with us, but it seems like Ryan Coolger and his team are paying tribute to the king, while using his passing to tell a compelling story.

So let’s speculate about who this new Black Panther is.

Most importantly, remember that there are no more heart shaped herbs. So the superpowered Black Panthers died with T’challa. We have some theories on where the new herb could come from that I’ll get into later in the video.

And I also need to address the assumption that Shuri will become Black Panther, like she is in the comics. But there are a lot of behind the scenes reasons why it could not be Shuri that I’ll explain later on as well.

First, W’Kabi, Daniel Kaluuya is a tremendous actor. In the first Black Panther he played T’challa’s confidant from the comics, W’kabi–who turned on him and ended with Killmonger. But we already know that W’kabi is not the Black Panther, because Daniel Kaluuya couldn’t film the movie because of filming conflicts with the movie Nope.

A much more likely option is M’Baku. When we first met this character, he challenged T’challa for the throne. Now in the comics, he is a villain. But the movie turned him into more of an anti-hero, and Winston Duke had a lot of fun with the part.

His tribe, the Jabari, are outside of Wakanda. They live in the borderlands, and would be the first to secede if there was a Wakandan civil war. Except in the movies, we’ve seen M’Baku throw his support behind T’challa against killmonger. Then he fought for Wakanda against Thanos, then fought with the people of earth against 2014 Thanos.

But, the Panther we see at the end of the movie is too slim to be Winston Duke. So I think he would more than likely be an antagonist going forward.

One wrinkle in M’Baku’s story is that he was dusted. So it’s possible that during the five year blip, he changed his tune a bit, and became more isolationist. Maybe he challenged for the throne, but then was forced out when T’challa returned.

I do think he is a more interesting character if he challenges for the throne at some point. His loyalty was to T’challa, the man who beat him in combat. So maybe he wouldn’t be cool with another Panther. Remember, he had beef with Shuri.

I’m going to throw out a left field option: maybe it could be Ramonda. Angela Bassett is a tour de force, one of the greatest actresses of her generation. Her becoming Black Panther would be a definite twist–but a bad one. As far as we know, she’s not a fighter, and the Black Panther’s primary role is to be a protector of the people.

MCU’s New Black Panther Is DIFFERENT To The Comics.. Here’s How

Welcome back to Film United, today on the channel we are going to check out MCU’s New Black Panther Compared To The Comics: All Differences Explained + 10 Black Panther Comics to Read After Wakanda Forever. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever brings a new MCU Black Panther to officially take up the mantle and there are quite a few differences from the original comic book storyline. This is the first movie that Shuri, portrayed by Letitia Wright, has starred in, although it marks her fourth MCU movie appearance. Shuri is now no longer portrayed as a side character as the film follows her journey to becoming the next Black Panther in order to save her home nation of Wakanda.

Following the death of actor Chadwick Boseman in 2020, who portrayed T’Challa in 2018’s Black Panther, the second installment of the Black Panther franchise had to be rewritten without the original Black Panther. The original release date for Wakanda Forever was May 2022, according to Disney’s release date schedule. It was delayed six months due to reported production concerns, likely due to the complications as Disney figured out how to tell the important story and continue Boseman’s legacy. Ultimately, it was T’Challa’s younger sister Shuri who took the mantel, mirroring the original comic storyline despite some notable differences. Meanwhile, here are the 10 Black Panther Comics to Read After Wakanda Forever. By the time Black Panther hit screens in 2018, the Marvel Cinematic Universe was already a true phenomenon, breaking box office records and making household names out of heretofore obscure characters like Rocket Raccoon and the Winter Soldier. But thanks to Ryan Coogler’s powerful direction and soulful performances from Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o, and of course Chadwick Boseman as King T’Challa, Black Panther became a true cultural phenomenon, a movie that transcended its roots as a superhero story. Finish this video to know more details about MCU’s New Black Panther Compared To The Comics: All Differences Explained + 10 Black Panther Comics to Read After Wakanda Forever.

Every (7) New Characters Appearing In Black Panther 2 – Wakanda Forever Movie – Backstories Explored

Following two years of speculation as to what a T’Challa-less Wakanda would look like, we got our first glimpse of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever following the San Diego Comic Con and to put it in one word, the world’s greatest nation is troubled. Chadwick Boseman left behind an irreplaceable legacy as the Panther-themed icon of the MCU, so it was imperative that whatever they did following his death would have to not only tie into it, but elevate it if the movie were to succeed. And after watching the trailer, we can safely say that King T’Challa would’ve been proud of the warriors that have gathered in his wake; and troubled, too. Because with the introduction of brand-new Wakandans, we will also be coming face-to-face with the mighty forces of Atlantis in the November 2022 release. But who are these new characters? What is their purpose in the story? And exactly how will they shape the future of the MCU? We’ll answer all that and more in this video; this is Every New Character Appearing in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever – Explored. And if you haven’t seen the trailer yet, this is your spoiler warning.
