Wakanda Forever confirms identity of new Black Panther

Wakanda Forever trailer confirms identity of new Black Panther

The official trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has finally arrived.

[{"selector":"#anim-aa8fd3ea-f556-4d56-a6e3-8f1f75c9dedf [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(27.604709105391844%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

It appears to confirm who will assume the Black Panther mantle in the highly anticipated sequel.

Clearly, Marvel wants to get out ahead of further rumors surrounding the identity of the new Black Panther.

[{"selector":"#anim-c14885fc-9d3c-4119-8661-8d330d97df43 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-15.17691018360631%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

It's possible that this could be a bait and switch on the studio's part, but we'd be extremely surprised if it is.

[{"selector":"#anim-e62cc8db-7adf-4c59-b6b1-32ca9867f82e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(32.33132182531344%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

There had been rumors that Shuri would follow in T'Challa's footsteps and become the new Black Panther in this MCU Phase 4 project.

[{"selector":"#anim-99c1a3d5-1782-4819-bbbd-8ac5776d9359 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(26.23783201952412%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

Speculation over Shuri's new role came after reports in late 2021 suggest that Winston Duke's M'Baku would be T'Challa's actual successor.

[{"selector":"#anim-a82ce6d7-83af-4420-a203-0a8dd2caeb19 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-3.815608629947697%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Unless Wakanda Forever sees multiple characters don the superhero suit, though, it appears as if Shuri will be the new Black Panther.

[{"selector":"#anim-b763ffa5-36b9-40ca-bc01-de76eec6df8e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.41208622287484%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

It is something of a disappointment that we've learned the identity of the new Black Panther in this trailer.
