Black Panther and millions of people around the world felt the tragic loss of Chadwick Boseman in 2020. Many fans, after celebrating his life and legacy, have wondered what’s next for his on-screen character T’challa – the lead character of Marvel’s Black Panther.
Up until now, no one knew what Marvel would do, Media Take Out confirmed.
Some wanted a recast, some wanted his character to get a respectful canonical death, but none could have expected to find the answer in a LEGO set first.
WARNING – SPOILERS CONTAINED BELOW.
According to above images of upcoming LEGO sets slated for an October release, which Media Take Out confirmed are authentic, the new Black Panther will be Shuri, played by Letitia Wright.
She is T’Challa’s sister in the comics and 2018 smash film.
While a LEGO set is never official confirmation, it’s safe to say it’s likely given the direction of Marvel’s first teaser for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and the fact that LEGO sets have been prophetic in the past.
