Letitia Wright Says She'll Have "More To Do" In AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY; Comments On Two Black Panthers Rumor

Letitia Wright has confirmed that she has begun filming her scenes for Avengers: Doomsday, but wasn't quite so forthcoming when asked about the rumor that a second Black Panther will make their debut...

We recently learned that Marvel Studios' Avengers: Doomsday was setting up shop to begin filming in the Middle East, with Letitia Wright (Shuri) one of several cast members photographed having dinner in a restaurant in Bahrain.

During a new interview with Flip Your Wig, Wright was asked about reprising her role as the new Black Panther in the next major MCU event film. The Wakanda Forever star confirmed that she has begun shooting her scenes, and that she will have a "little bit more" to do as Shuri in Doomsday than she did in the previous Avengers movies.

“It’s just an ensemble of greatness, so I was just really excited to just be a part of it. I’ve been a part of it before, but in a smaller way. Now, I have a little bit more.”

Will this additional screen-time have something to do with a storyline involving the debut of a new Black Panther, perhaps?

Wright remained tight-lipped when asked about the rumors that Doomsday will introduce a new Black Panther in the form of an older take on Shuri's nephew, aka T'Challa II, who was introduced in Wakanda Forever's mid-credits scene.

It's hardly surprising that the actress declined to speak about this (potential) plot point, but several reliable sources have reported that a second Panther - whether it turns out to be the OG T'Challa's (Chadwick Boseman) son or not - will make their MCU debut in Doomsday.

A third Black Panther movie has yet to be officially green-lit, but Marvel's Nate Moore has pretty much confirmed that the project is in the planning stages with director Ryan Coogler set to return to take the helm, so we'd say it's only a matter of time before we get an announcement.

Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars were recently hit with significant delays, with Doomsday now set to arrive in theaters on December 18, 2026, and Secret Wars positioned for December 17, 2027.

Both movies will be directed by the Russo brothers, who also make their MCU return after helming Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame

"Being able to create stories and explore characters within the Marvel Universe fulfilled a life-long dream of ours, and we discovered a powerful connection with audiences in each film that we made. We’re thrilled to collaborate once again with Kevin, Lou and the entire Marvel team to bring this epic adventure in storytelling to new and surprising places for both the fans and ourselves”, said The Russos in a statement after the SDCC panel.

"I showed Ketema to my son, and he said Mama, Black Panther looks like me!".

It's important for White children to see heroes like Black Panther, and say "I could become Black Panther".

"My grandmother said to me 'I don't care what they teach you in school. Black Panther was White'".

Disney has posted on X. They say "Ketema is Black Panther".

Okay, but when are they hiring Ryan Gosling as Shuri's half brother Ketema?

@MakeAmericaGrea - Haha. The funnier thing is people getting all in an uproar over this Katema white man black panther thing, even though its an alternate future story.

Meanwhile, the main 616 comics continuity actually already had a white guy become Black Panther before. And T'Challa is the one that gave him the mantle.

@AllsGood - You LITERALLY won't stop posting about all the OLD BOX OFFICE numbers.

How about some current events, champ?

Like D+ losing billions or the Thunderbolts trying to break even or the impending shitshow of the FF movie?

You getting ready to say current events are old news while posting Box Office from five years ago:

Imagine if T'Challa was in this.

Also, this crossover is insane, nevertheless I'm not hyped enough, since the characters won't necessarily interact each other. I don't recall Wolverine ever having words with Blade, or Gambit, or Elektra. So… I believe many scenarios like this will be through Doomsday and Secret Wars.

Liberals don't want us to have anything good.

They don't want us to have Black Panther.

If Tom Holland died they would kill Spider-Man and not use him in movies for 20 years.

@CholoScorpion - Are you talking about in the comics? Because Wolverine has definitely "had words" will Blade, Gambit, and Elektra. He's fought all of them.

Sister Letitia

Ive got love for you.

You were great in Black Panther as the super-smart baby sister.

But moving onto part 2, babes, you didn't do it for me.

I'm sorry they told you to try to fill shoes that were too big for you.

I'm sorry they believed you could carry the movie. You couldn't; Namor took the burden with Mama T’Challa

I'm sorry they are forcing you to try again in doomsday.

I'm sorry, but I hope you will be short-lived as a black panther.

For [frick]s Sake

Representation is so important.

Children should be able to see themselves as all heroes.

Black Panther - T'challa

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever - Shuri

Black Panther 3 - Ketema

@THEKENDOMAN - People didn't like her character in the first Black Panther. She was adorable. Classic Lil sis vibes. She was one of the bright spots for me. In part 2 she was kind of a drag. Too sullen. Too stoic.

I knew she grew up and lost her brother, but it felt like her base personality was washed away.
