10 Unused Marvel Studios Concepts Which Need To Be Used In Future
10. Shuri As The New Black Panther
Chadwick Boseman's tragic passing has fans reeling, and with Black Panther director Ryan Coogler confirming that the sequel's screenplay revolves around T'Challa, there's a lot of uncertainty surrounding what Marvel Studios will do with the movie.
At this point, it's hard to even care what will happen given how sad Boseman's passing was, but with Black Panther such an inspiration to so many, the character is bound to live on in some form.
This concept art from 2018's Black Panther reveals that Shuri (Letitia Wright) was once set to race into battle in her brother's costume - with her gauntlets - during the movie's final battle. In the comics, Shuri does ultimately replace T'Challa as Black Panther, and this is obviously an option that's now open to Marvel Studios (rather than recasting Boseman).
This would be a great use of Shuri, an exciting way to continue the Black Panther legacy, and something comic book fans would definitely appreciate.
