Black Panther: Wakanda Forever: 23 WTF Moments

9. Shuri FINALLY Puts On The Black Panther Suit

It takes a whole two hours, but in the closing segment of the movie Shuri finally dons her own snazzy Black Panther suit and prepares to do battle with Namor.

While fans may have gotten a little fed up waiting to see the suit teased in trailers, given that the film's story is very much about the Black Panther's absence and the need for its mantle to be passed on, the delayed gratification is certainly thematically appropriate.

In a great moment, we see Shuri pay a visit to the Jabari Tribe, where M'Baku gets into an arm wrestling match with Shuri, who easily bests him and in turn wins his approval.

Whether or not Shuri actually remains the Black Panther for future films, it was satisfying to see her finally don the suit.
