The MCU has already introduced one of the major new characters from Coates' run (Ayo) and [[http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2016/09/chadwick-boseman-black-panther-ryan-coogler- Boseman has hinted that Coates will have a big influence on the film.]] The plot might focus on T'Challa dealing with the fallout surrounding the collapse of the Accords, the death of his father and whatever else transpires in the [[Film/ThorRagnarok preceding]] [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy three]] [[Film/SpiderManHomecoming films]], and keeping his country together in the face of these threats.

* Malice... but as a DecompositeCharacter from Nakia. Instead of the LoveMakesYouCrazy aspect, she would be a former Dora Milaje exiled from Wakanda for betraying the king, who now seeks revenge. While she probably wouldn't work as a main villain, she would fit as an enforcer for a character like Achebe, similar to [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier Crossbones]] or [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Nebula]].

Seriously have you SEEN Tony interact with young geniuses in the comics (IronHeart)?

** Confirmed!



** Flag Smashes were eventually used in Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier, (which also featured the Dora Milaje in an unrelated supporting role).

* Almost correct. Film/BlackPantherWakandaForever features the characters trying to ''reproduce'' the heart shape herb artificially via genetics.

[[WMG: The Sequel will be focusing on Shuri]]
Given that Chadieck Boseman has passed away with T’Challa only being mentioned, the sequel will be focusing on Shuri, meaning she will become the main protagonist of the sequel.

* Throwing T'Challa off the waterfall was not BondVillainStupidity but role-playing. He is TheHero of this story so he wants to give his enemy, and thus TheVillain, a DisneyVillainDeath.

*** Plus in the comics, T'Challa had at one point a fatal brain aneurysm, so perhaps they can be true to life by stating that T'Challa had passed due to colon cancer. They could also have it serve as a rather poignant moment, by way of showing that sometimes there are certain "battles" that even superheroes can't win, as much as we want them to. But that shouldn't mean that we should stop trying.

[[WMG: T'Challa and Nakia will have had a child pre-Blip.]]
This would be a great way to continue T'Challa's legacy, as well as making perfect sense. T'Challa and Nakia are implicitly in a relationship at the end of the first movie, and if they had a child pre-Blip, the child would be 5 years old by the second movie. This way, Shuri could be the Black Panther until the child is old enough to take the mantle.

Namely, Okoye will be the next Black Panther. I don't know exactly how they'll make it work without making her Queen too, but maybe Ramonda and Shuri will give Okoye their blessing, or specifically request that she do it.

The movie is only a few months away from filming, and Andy Serkis has yet to be confirmed for the cast. Also, the film already has two villains in Erik Killmonger and M'Baku, and may even have a ''third'' if a certain character follows their comic counterpart's arc. The MCU also removed the main connection between T'Challa and Klaue by having Zemo murder T'Chaka instead. According to Creator/JossWhedon, Klaue's appearance in ''Age of Ultron'' was written before he even knew a Black Panther movie had been greenlit, meaning the cameo probably wasn't intended to be a lead-in to the BP movie.

Instead, he'll be an ally of Killmonger who is set up to become the main villain of a potential Black Panther 2, where he takes on the mantle of the white gorilla and become Man-Ape then. It will be alluded to in one of the stingers.

** Add in, while we only saw the one heart-shaped herb being saved to be given to T'Challa later, another Black Panther could come about because one of the other attendants who was told to burn the herbs saved some, or there was a hidden room of them elsewhere in case of a fire in this ceremonial room.

** There is, of course, another option. Recasting Black Panther would be a ToughActToFollow, and to kill a lead character off-screen would be rather anti-climactic at best, and in bad taste at worst. So? The Black Panther series of films is simply canceled.

Perhaps there would have been a minor subplot about young Eli in Oakland, ending with what we see at the end of this movie.

* Seems unlikely; most of the post-Infinity Saga films and Disney+ projects for Phase 4 are seemingly set to explore the aftermath of ''Endgame'' and move the overall narrative forward, both chronologically and in terms of story. ''Black Panther II'' coming out after Phase 4's ten or so different projects doesn't make a lot of sense for it to be a step back, and there's plenty of ample ground to cover in the MCU's post-Avengers, post-Blip world. What's become of W'Kabi and the Border Tribe? What's become of Wakanda's role in the world after going public? How do Wakandan Blip survivors like M'Baku feel about the country's involvement in world events that arguably resulted in the Blip, especially when their king and figurehead is a casualty? How might potentially hostile countries like the U.S. handle Wakanda coming out, especially if they've got their own team like the Thunderbolts at their disposal?
