History WMG / BlackPanther2018

* Since the first stinger of that movie had T'Challa [[spoiler: granting Bucky, Cap, and possibly the other anti-Accords Avengers sanctuary in Wakanda]], it would make sense for the implications of that decision to be a factor in his own movie.
* Likely jossed, since [[spoiler: Sebastian Stan has confirmed that he isn't in the movie]] and we don't see a peep of the Avengers in the trailers.

Because [[spoiler: he killed T'Challa's father]].

-->'''T'challa''': No! He is not ready.\\
'''Steve''': I know. But we're out of time.
** Jossed. [[spoiler: Bucky has apparently been awake for a period of time living in a small Wakandan village area ''without'' a replacement for his arm.]]

-->'''Tony Stark''': (after hearing rushed explanation) Ok, quick question... [[CallBack Who the hell are these guys?]]

** Jossed. [[spoiler: Klaue is killed by Killmonger.]]

** All Jossed. [[spoiler: T'Challa addresses the United Nations about Wakanda helping the world in the mid-credits scene. The post credits scene shows that Bucky is staying in a Wakandan village.]]

[[WMG: The King's ring is actually [[spoiler: one of the Mandarin's ten rings]]]]
Basically, [[spoiler: a group of heroes, including one of T'Challa's ancestors, fought [[Film/AllHailTheKing the real Mandarin]] and stole his power rings, weakening the organization and forcing him into hiding. The rings were then kept hidden by the heroes and their descendants, with T'Challa's ancestor using his ring as a sign of the Black Panther clan's leadership]]. During the movie, the ring will be stolen and go missing, until TheStinger [[spoiler: where it will be returned to the Mandarin]].

* Will be the one [[spoiler: Tony Stark ripped off Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier at the end of ''Civil War.'']] One of the big themes that they seem to be setting up with Black Panther is the idea of the cycle of revenge, that vengeance only begets more vengeance, so it would make sense that T'Challa's main enemy, a man who has fought Black Panthers again and again, would be using the weapon arm of T'Challa's [[spoiler: former enemy]].
** Jossed. [[spoiler: Tony blasted that arm to pieces. There's nothing left.]]

[[WMG: The plot of ''Black Panther'' will be [[spoiler: people coming for the frozen Bucky as Steve warned T'Challa that they would]]]]
* This will lead to the inevitable and awesome team-up between Black Panther and [[spoiler: Bucky.]] Also, since Klaue is the villain, he and [[spoiler: Bucky will make arm jokes.]]
* Jossed. The plot is not about Bucky. [[spoiler:He does ''appear'', but only in the post-credits.]]

* [[spoiler: Confirmed partially. He is in the second post-credits scene. Shuri has been helping him in seclusion this entire time.]]
* [[spoiler: Mostly jossed, while does appear he is just there to show that he has been going through therapy. He also has no bearing at all to the plot at all .]]

Although [[spoiler: Zemo killed T'Challa's father in]] ''Civil War'', we'll find out that Klaue (as a known arms dealer) was the one who supplied him with the bomb. This will not only help elevate Klaue to archenemy status, it will also tie him to Zemo for a potential Masters of Evil role later on.

Ross, his jailer, will likely appear; it would make sense for the man [[spoiler: who killed T'Challa's father]] to appear as well. Furthermore...

[[WMG: T'Challa will [[spoiler: give Steve a new shield while he's in Wakanda.]]]]
* We saw at the end that [[spoiler: Steve left his Cap shield behind when he went on the run: it's government property after all]]. Then in the mid-credits scene, we see that [[spoiler: Steve is now in Wakanda talking with Black Panther — and Wakanda is, of course, the world's source of vibranium]]. Perhaps Black Panther will [[spoiler: give Steve a replacement shield, especially if Steve has abandoned the Captain America mantle.]]

* Also, Tony Stark and Shuri will clash when they first meet ([[spoiler: especially considering that Tony probably still wants revenge against Bucky for his parents' deaths]]) but ultimately they'll bond over their shared love of science and invention.

* One factor in this theory's favor: [[spoiler: WordOfGod has stated that [[{{Film/ThorRagnarok}} the Eternal Flame]] is NOT the Soul Stone.]] This film is the only one remaining before ''Infinity War''.

[[WMG: Shuri is secretly involved with [[spoiler: Bucky.]]]]
The second stinger reveals that they've been spending a lot of time together [[spoiler: since the end of ''Civil War'', with Shuri teaching him about Wakanda]]. There were loving stares between the two, despite the scandal such a relationship would cause (for many reasons, among them age, given that Shuri is 16 and Bucky was born around the same time as her grandfather).

* He could return [[spoiler: [[OverlyLongGag played by Zendaya]]]].

** Jossed. [[spoiler:Tony never meets Shuri before his death.]]

* Technically Klaue never invaded Wakanda. He was the only foreigner to ever find them, but he was captured. He did however slaughter a number of Wakandan citizens escaping. But that was the one time and they did mark him. However while his actions made him an enemy of the nation, the only reason he found the place [[spoiler: was inside help from Killmonger's father.]] Who most likely expected Klaue to go in, steal the Vibranium and get out without harming anyone. If not for [[spoiler: N'Jobu literally showing him the way.]] Klaue would never even have found Wakanda. So generally speaking Klaue is not really that formidable. The only reason he matters was due to inside help, [[AxeCrazy and him killing Wakandan citizens while escaping.]] It was stated that he had eluded justice. He wasn't exactly hard to find. Considering it was T'Chaka who had decided not to go after him, [[spoiler: no surprise because going after Klaue would have risked revealing his greatest shame, that the reason that Wakanda was infiltrated leading to multiple deaths was due to information provided by his brother. Whom he later killed in defense of another.]] Which is why W'Kabi was so furious that when they finally went after him he got away.

All Marvel Studios has to do is share CGI assets and some extras. Or the Agents could be involved with Wakanda's international outreach centres, like the one opened in the ending of the movie. Interaction between Daisy's powers and vibranium could be interesting to explore, and could explain how she possible ends up [[spoiler:destroying the Earth]].

* Unknown, [[spoiler: as Tony never meets Shuri before his death.]]

** [[spoiler:Confirmed]]

* Mostly Correct. Ramonda goes to Geneva. Shuri and Okoye goes to the USA. And in Haiti [[spoiler: Nakia is secretly raising her and T'Challa's son]].

* ...in relation to [[spoiler:T'Challa's death in Film/AvengersInfinityWar.]]
* Mostly Jossed. While the Ancestral Plane ''does'' appear, it's only for [[spoiler:Shuri's transformation into the Black Panther.]]

* T'Challa's character was properly written out in the sequel. While a multiverse variant of the character (played by TheOtherDarrin) could appear in the MCU, [[spoiler:it's also possible T'Challa's son, T'Challa II will serve as the potential successor]].

* [[spoiler:Shuri inherits the role]].

* [[spoiler: They '''do''' have a secret son! However it's implied that Nakia gave birth around or after the Snap]].
