At this point,
Black Panther 2 has pretty much been confirmed by Marvel Studios. But in the spirit of keeping things interesting for
Avengers: Endgame, the cast has been playing it coy when it comes to talking about highly anticipated sequel — especially since, as Chadwick Boseman now famously pointed out, Black Panther is dead. After all, there can't be a sequel if King T'Challa doesn't come back, right?
Therein lies the importance of
Avengers: Endgame, and during the Los Angeles premiere of the blockbuster film, actress Letitia Wright, who plays Shuri, was asked about
Black Panther 2.
"It all depends on this movie, really. It all depends on this movie," said Wright, whose character was an offscreen victim of the Thanos snap in the end of Infinity War.
"We want to do it. We would love to do a Black Panther 2, but if something happens that is crazy, we might not see any other of anything."
Trying to get a little something out of her, Entertainment Tonight reporter Kevin Frazier pointed out that Shuri actually becomes Black Panther in the comics. Wright acknowledged the comic book storyline, but added that the Russo brothers are ultimately in control of the MCU's fate.
"She does," Wright acknowledged,
"but then you have the Russo brothers and their ideas and that can change everything."

Black Panther star Letitia Wright below.
We'll find out if Black Panther, Shuri, and the rest of the fallen somehow come back from the snap when
Avengers: Endgame hits theaters on April 26.
