BLACK PANTHER Character Portraits Highlight The Movie's Stellar Cast Including Shuri And Killmonger
An amazing series of character portraits for Black Panther have been released giving us a closer look at the main heroes and villains but it's T'Challa's mother and sister who may be the most intriguing.
Had enough of Black Panther yet? The answer is obviously no, so you'll no doubt be very happy to see that Entertainment Weekly has released a series of character portraits featuring nearly the entire cast. You can find those below but the site also has some new details on each of the movie's characters and of particular interest are those revealed in regards to T'Challa's mother Ramonda and sister Shuri.
Now, if you're a fan of the comic books you'll obviously be well aware that Shuri (Letitia Wright) ultimately takes over the Black Panther mantle and while there's no mention of that happening in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it still sounds like Wakanda's weapons designer will be a force to be reckoned with thanks to Vibranium-enhanced panther gauntlets she wears on both of her hands.
Angela Bassett, meanwhile, is Wakanda's queen mother, as vital to T'Challa and Shuri now as when they were children. "Her goal in the film is to help T’Challa become king of Wakanda in a peaceful transition of power, serving as a de facto advisor to the throne," executive producer Nate Moore says. "However, as things get complicated for our hero, she sets aside any political functions and instead operates as a mother whose sole concern is the physical well-being of both of her children."
Which of these Black Panther characters do you think will be your favourite? Sound off below.
