After DC ends its year with Black Adam , then Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will be the super product to close Marvel’s explosive year on the big screen. The film is set when “Black Panther” T’Challa was lying down as a way to “legitimize” the heartbreaking passing of the late actor Chadwick Boseman in real life. However, the identity of the new Black Panther is currently being hunted by the audience, predicting as passionately as the contestants of Masked Singer. However, Marvel itself has accidentally (or intentionally) revealed many details that confirm who Black Panther is, and there are 3 names that are called the most.
In the first trailer that was “treaked” at the recent Comic Con event, the new Black Panther appeared in a rather feminine design and costume. The lines hug the whole body, showing that this is a woman, not a man like T’Challa before. That’s why initially, the audience selected the 3 best candidates: Nikia (T’Challa’s lover), female leader Okoye and her sister Shuri.
Right after the first trailer was released, Marvel narrowed down the audience’s expectations through a very special detail – the accompanying souvenir product. The latest release of the toy product is to promote Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and if the first trailer only showed the lower half of the Black Panther, the toy product revealed the character’s head as well. On the face of this Black Panther warrior, there are white patterns painted along the eyes and forehead.
This “makeup” is identical to Shuri’s image, so it reinforces the theory that the sister will take over the “legacy” of her late brother.
Then the image of the toy really simulated the official shape of the new Black Panther, specifically when this character appeared in the second trailer, which is also the official trailer of the movie. The Black Panther female warrior appeared with a line of white circles drawn on her face, it is impossible not to think of Shuri. Not stopping there, her mother – Queen Ramonda also advised: “Show them who we are”, as a statement that she believes in and leadership ability of her daughter.
Until the official poster of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever comes out, the possibility that Shuri is the one behind the mask increases. She is arranged in the middle, the largest and stands in front of the image of a new Black Panther uniform with textures and contours reminiscent of Shuri herself. Therefore, apart from Shuri, it is likely that there is no one powerful enough, as well as capable to take on this great role from the deceased hero T’Challa.
So this November, the entertainment industry will welcome special “unmasking” performances. Music with Masked Singer, the big screen has Black Panther female warrior, promising to be equally attractive. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will also be the end of Marvel’s tumultuous 2022, scheduled to hit theaters on November 11, 2022 in Vietnam and around the world.
