As with the Avengers and Doctor Strange, King T'Challa of Wakanda hasn't been referenced explicitly. He has, however - like those individuals too - had his own locale referenced in interviews.
Among those other eye-catching destinations, web-heads will be able to spot a Wakandan Embassy while slinging through New York. Again, this doesn't confirm that T'Challa will have a part to play at some point, but it does illustrate Insomniac are intent on building a world, and making sure their version of New York feels like its Marvel's own.
That said, the Black Panther has only gotten more and more popular since the game's original announcement. Could a cameo at least be in store?
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
