Black Panther: Wakanda Forever: 23 WTF Moments
1. Mid-Credits Scene: T'Challa Has A Secret Son
Mid-way through the credits, we return to Haiti after Shuri has burned her funeral robe, and she's approached by both Nakia and a young boy from the village.
Nakia then reveals that the boy is her and T'Challa's son, Toussaint, who they decided to raised away from Wakanda to avoid the pressures of him growing up as the heir to the throne.
A deeply moved Shuri has a brief conversation with Toussaint, where he reveals that Toussaint is only his Haitian name. His other moniker? You guessed it - T'Challa.
Easy though it'd be for such a scene to come off as a cynical means of replacing Boseman and giving the world a new T'Challa sometime in the future, it's certainly an emotionally effective and satisfying reveal which feels less manipulative than you might expect.
It'll be interesting to see whether or not the MCU employs any timey-wimey or Quantum Realm-related shenanigans to accelerate his age and give the franchise a "rebooted" T'Challa sooner rather than later, though. As ever, time will tell.
