10 Bold Predictions About Every Upcoming MCU Movie

10. Black Panther Will Set Up Shuri's Ascension

Letitia Wright's Shuri may be a newcomer to the MCU, but she's been a major player in the comics for years, and big things are surely on the horizon for her in the movies.

In the world of Marvel Comics, T'Challa's sister has suited up as a female version of Black Panther to help protect Wakanda, and even had a stint as its ruler while her brother lay in a coma.

If she doesn't don the mantel of the Panther in her big screen debut, expect the movie to set this up for one of the upcoming Avengers films or a future sequel.

The Black Panther trailers have presented T'Challa as a tech whizz who's well versed in the ways of Vibranium. From the look of things, she hooks T'Challa up with his Panther getup, and thus clearly has the know-how to fashion a suit for herself.

To don the mantel, the wearer must be approved as worthy by the Panther God, but that will surely be a matter of time for Shuri after Erik Killmonger and Ulysses Klaue bring trouble to Wakanda.

Given that the success of DC's Wonder Woman has paved the way for a golden age of female superheroes on the big screen, it makes sense for Shuri's MCU path to mirror that of the comics. The good guys could certainly use an extra pair of claws when Thanos and his minions show up in Infinity War.
