A brand new TV spot and six new character posters for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever were released tonight during the NBA on TNT action, and the latest piece of footage may have offered our biggest clue yet as to who will take up the Black Panther mantle from T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman).
Near the end of the 45-second spot, we see the new Black Panther in action, and as she flips onto the battlefield, she utilizes her new black-and-gold suit's gauntlets, which look suspiciously similar to the vibranium gauntlets Shuri (Letitia Wright) was known to wield in her appearances in Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame.
While Shuri was always the most logical choice to succeed her late brother, this would appear to be the closest we'll get to any sort of confirmation before the film opens in theaters next month.
There's also some fresh Namor (Tenoch Huerta) and Ironheart (Dominique Thorne) footage to enjoy, as we get a great new shot of the latter's suit.
Check out the new TV spot and character posters below:
In Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), Shuri (Letitia Wright), M’Baku (Winston Duke), Okoye (Danai Gurira) and the Dora Milaje (including Florence Kasumba) fight to protect their nation from intervening world powers in the wake of King T’Challa’s death. As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with the help of War Dog Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) and Everett Ross (Martin Freeman) and forge a new path for the kingdom of Wakanda. Introducing Tenoch Huerta Mejía as Namor, king of a hidden undersea nation, the film also stars Dominique Thorne, Michaela Coel, Mabel Cadena and Alex Livinalli. “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” directed by Ryan Coogler and produced by Kevin Feige and Nate Moore, opens in U.S. theaters Nov. 11, 2022.
