Black Panther: 11 Implications For Infinity War

4. Shuri = The Avengers' New Weaponsmith?

Shuri proves herself to be one hell of an understated super-genius in the movie, capable of conjuring up insanely awesome technological trinkets like it's nothing, so there's a damn fine chance she'll actually become The Avengers' weaponsmith - officially or unofficially - for the considerable future.

It's already known that Shuri will appear in Infinity War, which makes sense considering that she's presumably responsible for Bucky's new arm and Cap's new shield, but expect her to also become a longer-term gadget-dispenser for the superheroes. After all, according to Ulysses Klaue (Andy Serkis), Wakanda has been mining Vibranium for thousands of years and has barely scratched the surface.

She could effectively become the "Q" of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, making all those comparisons between Black Panther and James Bond even more apt.

It's easy to imagine her working side-by-side with Tony Stark - probably developing the Bleeding Edge armour together - not to mention the sheer number of sarcastic quips Tony's going to make about her youth.
