. Movie Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, written by Ryan Coogler, turned out to be much more than a tribute. It is also a journey through unprecedented scenarios related to power and, especially, to the new beginning of history. Especially after a single post-credits scene in which it is revealed that the Wakanda royal family has a new member.
But that fact could confuse what happens next in both the franchise and a possible sequel. Will the film’s final screening change the future of Marvel’s most powerful fictional kingdom? As seen in the post-credits scene Black Panther: Wakanda ForeverShuri (Letitia Wright) is not the last in the line of succession. As the episode suggests, Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) conceived a child with T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) before Thanos snapped.
Until now, the boy has lived secretly in Haiti with his mother, protected from pressure from the authorities. The new queen of Wakanda only learns the boy’s identity after she accepts responsibility in the face of power and her historical legacy. However, this raises an inevitable question. Could the young T’Challa have some future relationship with the Wakanda succession?
The unknowns he leaves Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
This is an issue that could once again change the political face of a fictional country. Especially now that they have to face the hidden threat of Talokan and his leader Namor (Tenoch Huerta). Since Shuri is empowered as well as the protector of the kingdom, her future duty is clear. AT Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Wakanda has become the center of global ambitionswhich also makes her a leader at an important historical moment that will unify the kingdom.
Particularly due to pressure from various countries for vibranium to be more than a territorial secret. So Shuri’s duty is much more than carrying claws. He will also be a frequent figure in the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and in all things how it analyzes its own political world.
But is this a temporary transition when a young T’Challa becomes an adult? Was the post-credits scene a way to ensure T’Challa’s stay as a character in the Marvel Universe? Not everything is so simple, and even more so is not connected with the immediate future of the sub-franchise.
In fact, according to Ryan Coogler himself, the only post-credits scene Black Panther: Wakanda Forever this does not change the continuity in Wakanda. Particularly because it’s not the introduction of a possible replacement for T’Challa, but rather an emotional conclusion to the film’s storyline. In fact, the narration of the feature film, which repeatedly recalls the late king, makes clear the final intentions of the script. Therefore, the traditional additional sequence of the film is the closing of the cycle of a long emotional journey, the essential tone Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Will we see a young T’Challa in the future of the Marvel Universe?
For now, the existence of T’Challa’s son is a secret that will most likely remain so. Scene after credits Black Panther: Wakanda Forever evidence that this was his father’s intention and that it continues to be his mother’s intention. So the continuity is unlikely to continue through little T’Challa. At least not now, because Kevin Feige completely ruled out retaking the king character in the near future.
Much more when the kid is about six years old and we have to wait until he reaches adolescence. one would expect new member of the Young Avengers team? A project announced for years without any completion could have little T’Challa as a new face in the medium term. However, it is unlikely that Feige will contradict his decision. Especially after a terrible goodbye Black Panther: Wakanda Forever to its central character.
