That would work. I also suggested, after Chadwick Boseman died, that they should have had Michael B. Jordan return as a N'jadaka from a universe where he became Black Panther, instead of T'Challa, and take over as Black Panther, because I just can't buy MCU Shuri as Black Panther. What happens next time someone challenges for rulership of Wakanda? I can't see her plausibly beating ANYONE in one-on-one combat, with no powers and no technological gadgets. It was stupid enough to see her beat Namor... a guy who can go toe-to-toe with Hulk.
Anyway, it's clear "T'Challa" will be taking over as Black Panther after Secret Wars. They'll just age him up. Marvel is so obviously in a holding pattern hoping Secret Wars will allow them to reboot back to RDJ and Evans as the leads again. |

I actually really like Wakanda Forever and think Letitia Wright did a beautiful job as Shuri in that film dealing with the emotional trauma of losing her brother and mother. While I have no problem with the character of Shuri taking over as the Black Panther, but I agree with you that Wright just doesn't have the physical presence to be the Black Panther for me. Either Lupita Nyong'o (Nakia) or Danai Gurira (Okoye) would have been better suited to it. As for your assertion that Wright's MCU Shuri couldn't defend a challenge to the throne, she doesn't have to. The implication of that scene at the end of Wakanda Forever is that Shuri and M'Baku came to an agreement were she abdicated the throne, he will be the new ruler of Wakanda, and she retains the role of Black Panther. BP is the guardian/defender of Wakanda, and doesn't have to be the ruler. It's implied that this is the case in Civil War but is explicitly the case in some of the comics. |

No, but when the Black Panther/ruler of Wakanda is challenged for the throne, they have to drink that potion which removes their powers.

Also there's a chance they can bulk her up for later appearances since they won't be quickly having to pivot to her as the panther in her next outing

You are 100% correct, but based on the relationship that they developed in Wakanda Forever, I don't know that M'Baku definitely would have challenged her, like he did to T'Challa, and rather be her trusted advisor. But I like the way it played out in the movie better anyway.

i liked playing guardians of the galaxy. it's been a lot of fun, and i chuckle along with it. the mini game where you have to hype the team is a great idea, but in execution kind of sucks because it's a guessing game which is the right thing to do since there's no way to figure out what generic sentence will hype the team up.
there's a scene where you meet an alien starlord used to be in a band with, who is like rocking out and singing songs he used to sing with starlord. this would have been a perfect opportunity to toss tenacious d in the game, because the dude sounds so much like jack black. |

She's rumored to just be getting Secret Wars and that's that. With her being replaced by an aged up son of BP and Nakia.
