As you can see, the reaction from Marvel fans has been immediate and quite vocal. Fans are loving Letitia Wright’s Shuri in Black Panther, and the thought of her and Tom Holland’s Spider-Man having a teenage geek-out over tech is probably one of the best ideas to come out of the entire Phase Three of the MCU.
Since Spider-Man: Homecoming revealed that Peter Parker has… diverse taste in women, there could definitely be more than Vibranium sparks that fly, if Shuri and Peter bond over their shared intellect, ingenuity, and superhero gadgetry. If Shuri follows her own Marvel Comics arc, then Peter could find himself romancing the next queen of Wakanda and the new Black Panther! Move over “Michelle” (Zendaya)!
We had the chance to speak to Wright at the junket for Black Panther, and asked the young actress about how she would feel becoing the MCU’s new Black Panther. In her own words:
“I hope, whenever the time is right, if it’s meant to happen, I would happily do it. But you can’t have a Shuri movie without T’Challa and you can’t have a Shuri movie without Ramonda and Nakia and the rest of the Dora Milaje and Okoye. So, I guess, the question is: when can we have Black Panther 2?”
Answer, Letitia? Hopefully sooner before later.
Black Panther is now in theaters. It will be followed by Avengers: Infinity War on May 4th, Ant-Man and the Wasp on July 6th, Captain Marvel on March 8, 2019, the fourth Avengers movie on May 3, 2019, the sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming on July 5, 2019, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in 2020.
