If its not a new character, then they are just shifting platforms instead opening up a new one. I meant a Marvel character not introduced in the MCU. Not a brand new character created.

Outside of Killmonger and Shuri there is no other character in the Marvel universe who has been Black Panther that wasn't from a previous era to T'Challa (T'Chaka, S'yan, Chanda, etc). In that sense, if it is a character not introduced in the MCU yet, it is either a brand new character created or someone who they use as they were never used in the comics to jerry rig them into being Black Panther... which seems like an odd route.

It'd allow for a lot of creative freedom. As long as it isn't Shuri I'll be content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m voting for Namor as the new Panther, once he conquers Wakanda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problems if it's Shuri - it's part of the comic canon, not like it's being pulled out of thin air. P.S. Title says Wakanada - Does that mean the TV series is being filmed in Canada? That would be awesome, get some "BP & gang go for poutine" eps. Can't wait.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At no point has she shown the ability to fight and handle her own. Sure, she was there at the big fight in Endgame with everyone else. But she ran around in her Nikes and used her hand blasters. We don't need a 3rd Iron Man (Spidey). Plus, I don't think Letita has the screen presence for the role. And I won't go into debate on the videos she's shared on social media; but they matter because I don't think she should be looked at as a role model. Having a role like Black Panther would just elevate her and her views. That's all I'm going to say about that. I admit, I don't know a ton of BP source material. But my choices to take the mantle of BP would be: Killmonger, Nakia, Okoye, M'Baku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is still the leading contender based on comics and bloodline, though I trust Feige to present a good story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acgott Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 While every decision will have controversy, a multiverse young Tchaka is an option as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCU Shuri and comic Shuri are night and day from each other. While the precedent is technically there in the comics, they are basically not even the same character. Comics have aligned more with the MCU version in the last year or so, but that version of Shuri in the comics has never been BP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure they aren’t all comic book experts. Has this new comic book Shuri dealt with T’challa’s death? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most I have read involving the MCU aligned Shuri was Ironheart - which is Riri Williams when she went to Wakanda for an excursion and butted heads then bonded with Shuri for both being black and geniuses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
