There’s loads of armchair quarterbacking concerning the state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe nowadays, and what the corporate is doing proper, and what they might be doing higher. One critique I haven’t heard a lot that I believe is truthful and maybe extra vital than it could seem: The early Marvel films had been closely related. Each appeared to guide into the subsequent and characters didn’t disappear for lengthy. Tony Stark confirmed up within the very subsequent film, The Unbelievable Hulk. Hawkeye was in Thor earlier than he was in The Avengers. Captain America flowed straight into The Avengers, and so forth.
As of late it’s not oncommon for Marvel to go years between appearances by widespread characters. It’s been three years and counting since we noticed the Imaginative and prescient on the finish of WandaVision; it’s been virtually three full years since Shang-Chi’s Ten Rings began giving off a beacon for some cause that’s nonetheless unexplained. And we haven’t seen the brand new Black Panther, Shuri, since her debut within the function in Wakanda Perpetually virtually two years in the past.
It takes so lengthy for these threads and characters to return that the viewers can overlook about individuals and subplots fully. Will we ever even see Shuri once more? Black Panther star Letitia Wright hinted on The View — with out giving freely something particular — that “there’s loads to … loads arising” for the character within the MCU.

Wright additionally referred to as Shuri one in every of her “favourite characters,” and described her as a “blessing.”
Whether or not or not there may be ever one other direct Black Panther sequel, one assumes Shuri must be a key member of the upcoming Avengers sequels; Marvel at the moment has two such movies on their schedule though the primary has been delayed already, and is reportedly within the means of present process a serious inventive overhaul after the firing of Jonathan Majors, who was to star because the time-traveling Kang within the movies. Black Panther: Wakanda Perpetually, headlined by Wright, grossed $859 million worldwide.
