Black Panther: 12 Rumours That Were Total Bull

6. Shuri Gets Her Own Black Panther Suit

The Rumour: T'Challa's wise-cracking sister Shuri will end up with her own Black Panther suit. There's a basis for it in the comics, and considering how few truly great female superheroes there are in the MCU, it makes total sense.

The Truth: Though it seemed like there'd at least be a nod towards Shuri maybe donning her own suit in the future, this isn't even remotely intimated.

She does wear her own unique war attire in the movie's final battle, but considering that the film already features numerous other iterations of Black Panther - T'Chaka in flashbacks and Erik Killmonger stealing the crown - perhaps adding another into the mix might've been overkill.

There's always the potential for this to happen in the sequel, after all.
