BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER Concept Art By Adi Granov Showcases Epic Alternate Designs For Sequel's Leads

We're sure many of you will know Adi Granov best for his work on the Iron Man franchise, but he contributed to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and you need to see some of his amazing alternate designs.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever arrived in theaters last month and, as of right now, it looks set to end the year just shy of what Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has made at the box office. We'd expected it to reach $1 billion, but with the effects of the pandemic being felt, that's easier said than done for most blockbusters these days. 

The sequel was definitely something special, though, and Adi Granov is the latest artist to share some of his stunning work from the film. Perhaps best known for his work on the Iron Man movies and comic books, his contributions to the Black Panther franchise are also significant, and everything here looks great. 

For starters, we get to see some of Granov's designs for Shuri's Black Panther costume, with the artist explaining both his approach and how Marvel Studios responded to them. 

If a third movie happens, then we'd love to see that black and silver design on screen. 

He also shows off an Ironheart design we'd argue was even better than the one that made it into Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, along with some unique shots of the movie's Talokans. His armoured Namor looks badass, while we can definitely appreciate his interpretation of those who call "Atlantis" home in the MCU. 

While most of these are alternate designs, it's clear Granov heavily influenced the finished product, and we're sure he'll continue to play an important role in the MCU moving forward. 

Take a closer look at his work in the Instagram posts below.

The concept art-to-film transition always lacks in some way or another.

The concept art for Namor and Ironheart looks so much better than what we finally saw.
