Marvel Studios Wanted Two Black Panthers In the MCU at the Same Time

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever star Letitia Wright revealed on the Empire Podcast that Marvel Studios originally planned to have both Shuri and Chadwick Boseman's T'Challa serve as the Black Panther at the same time.

When asked about her feelings when putting on the suit for the first time, Wright described it as a bittersweet moment, adding, "Shuri was always going to do it." She explained that she and Boseman would have suited up next to each other, figuring out how to best defend Wakanda together:

Empire: "I imagine there's a lot of weight attached to that suit for many reasons. Can you talk me through your emotions putting on that suit and stepping onto set, and what the reaction was?

Wright: "It was bittersweet. Shuri was always gonna do it. But it was gonna be done in a different way where her brother was gonna be alongside her, really explore that, like the comic books, the ways that T'Challa and Shuri would be Black Panther alongside each other and try to figure out how to defend their nation."
