New WakandaForever poster unmasks the new Black Panther.
Chadwick Boseman made history as the first Black superhero to lead an MCU feature in 2018's Marvel blockbuster Black Panther. The film stormed the box office grossing $1.3 billion during its run. However, the real importance and pinnacle of Boseman's legacy came from the cultural impact of a powerful and incredibly aspirational Black hero taking center stage.
A new poster for the film has, for the first time, put a spotlight on the next actor taking on the Panther mantle, Letitia Wright. Wright portrays T'Challa's on-screen genius younger sister Princess Shuri. The striking image shows Shuri in a new Panther suit, which features a similar base black finish to Boseman's titular character, in what feels like a nod to the actor's legacy character.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Shuri's character arc in the lead-up to putting on the iconic suit is in many ways heroic. Audiences witness her battle with coming to terms with her brother's death and the guilt of not being able to save him. The weight of the loss inevitably ages her alongside the mounting responsibilities stacking up against her following T'Challa's death. In spite of all the loss she's confronted with, she manages to carve out her own identity as a hero.
Boseman's King of Wakanda set up the perfect platform for Shuri to shine. Whilst Black Panther earned praise for spotlighting a Black hero in the titular role, it also made history for the way it showcased powerful Black women. The sequel takes this up a notch with Shuri's hero arc. The character challenging the stereotypical passive princess was certainly something that appealed to Wright, who admitted the helpless princess role wouldn't have been for her.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is in theaters now. You can check out the poster featuring Shuri below:
