With Black Panther only a few short weeks away from its premier, excitement levels are pretty high. The fact that Chadwick Boseman's T'Challa is returning is now date a major reason for that hype, but there are a number of new faces that've gotten everyone talking as well.

Shuri, Wakanda's foremost scientist who yes, is also smarter than Tony Stark, is one of those faces. Portrayed by Letitia Wright in the upcoming film, Shuri is set to take a prominent role in its story and we now have an inkling of one of the reasons why. With Bucky having been left in cryo-stasis at the end of Civil War, Shuri is the one entrusted by T'Challa to lead the former assassin's recovery.

The comic shows that it's no small feat however, with Bucky's Soviet conditioning having left some lasting scars. If anyone's up to the task of helping the former Winter Soldier on his way however, it's Shuri, and while there are plenty of other supporting characters in Black Panther we can't wait to see - including Nakia, Okoye and Ayo - there are plenty of reasons to be excited for Shuri's cinematic debut.
