Marvel?s Black Panther roars into theaters in 10 days, but it?s never too early to talk about where the movie?s characters ? like Letitia Wright as Shuri ? could go next.
Among the Black Panther characters poised to enjoy a long future in the MCU is Shuri, and the head of the Wakandan Design Group.
Already confirmed to be the smartest person in the MCU, Shuri?s accomplishments include ?rebooting? Bucky Barnes, and potentially advancing artificial intelligence far enough to correct Tony Stark?s fatal mistakes in Avengers: Age of Ultron. She?s behind the majority of Wakandan technology and eventually becomes a Wakandan ruler in the comics, taking on the mantle of the Black Panther herself. Wright is already game for a solo Shuri film but insists that fans make it to Black Panther 2 to see more of Boseman. During our set visit, the star teased where she?d like to see Shuri go next:
I think whatever she?s meant to do, we don?t know what?s going to happen in the Marvel Universe. So if she has to, you know, she is royalty. If she has to take that place and help do whatever she has to do, she has to do it. Because in the comic books, she does that. But wherever she goes, she?s going to be fine, you know? She?s going to be alright.
Personally? Man, just doing more stuff around the world and using her intelligence. Not just to help Wakanda, but maybe different parts of the world I guess. Maybe helping out Spider-Man or something I don?t know. Just visiting the other superheroes in the Marvel Universe and just be like, ?Hey Captain America! You know, let?s let?s go have lunch or something, we can talk about? something.? I don?t know.
