New ‘Black Panther’ Trailer Reveals Letitia Wright as Hero Post-Chadwick

Letitia Wright appears to be taking on the ‘Black Panther’ mantle post-Chadwick Boseman — a revelation that simply made itself clear within the newest trailer for the forthcoming sequel.

A brand new ‘Wakanda Forever’ trailer simply dropped, and it seems to substantiate a serious fan principle that is been floated for months — specifically, that Shuri, T’Challa’s sister within the movie sequence, will change into the costumed character going ahead … not less than for now, anyway.

At the tip of the trailer, you see a feminine ‘Black Panther’ standing tall — and whereas it does not precisely spell out who’s behind the masks … all indicators level to LW selecting up the baton.

Right earlier than we see the woman ‘BP,’ you see a shot of Letitia … so it isn’t laborious to piece this one collectively. Plus, this really aligns with the comedian sequence — in one of many ‘Black Panther’ timelines, Shuri really assumes the function for some time … which means her doing that is canon.

Of course, the rationale that is even occurring in any respect is as a result of Chadwick passed away all of a sudden in 2020 — succumbing to a most cancers prognosis that he stored personal and hidden from public view. Marvel refused to recast the character … so that is the route they’ve chosen.

The different motive that is noteworthy is as a result of Letitia was embroiled in an argument throughout COVID … she was accused of spewing anti-vaxx rhetoric, and there have been even some experiences she took a few of these sentiments on set together with her through the filming of this film.
