We first met Martin Freeman's Everett Ross in Captain America: Civil War, while he'd later be established as a close ally of T'Challa's in Black Panther. The character is set to return in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and some set photos (via Just Jared) reveal his startling new appearance.
As you can see, Freeman has been made to look a little older since the last time we saw him, but there's likely a good reason for that. Assuming he wasn't among those snapped out of existence by Thanos during the events of Avengers: Endgame, Ross is at least five years older than those who were!
Beyond that, these photos really don't reveal much, though it's safe to assume Ross will remain a loyal ally to Wakanda, especially in what we're assuming will be the wake of T'Challa's death.
Marvel Studios has yet to reveal how Black Panther will be written out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe following the tragic death of Chadwick Boseman after a lengthy battle with cancer. It has, however, been confirmed that the character won't be brought back with VFX or another actor.
Instead, Shuri remains the most likely choice to suit up as the MCU's new Black Panther, picking up where her brother left off. Check out these new Black Panther: Wakanda Forever set photos below:
