WAKANDA ALWAYS! The latest Black Panther 2 teaser from Marvel leaves the greatest surprise for last, even though it's packed with information, including our first glimpse at Ironheart and a longer peek of Namor. We eventually get a glimpse of Wakanda's new defender in the closing minutes.
BLACK PANTHER 2 TRAILER BREAKDOWN
The title character appeared briefly at the conclusion of the original Black Panther: Wakanda Forever teaser, but he was so covered that all you could make out were one leg and one clawed hand from behind. We see a lot more in this new teaser. The last image shows Black Panther falling from above and landing in a traditional superhero position. A clear feminine shape concealed by the outfit and mask is seen when the camera pans up.

Who may be the next Black Panther, a female figure who is obviously present? Let's examine the possibilities in detail.
SHURI IS THE NEW BLACK PANTHER
Letitia Wright seems like the natural candidate to take Chadwick Boseman's place in the role, anti-vax controversy aside. She appears to be the next in line because her character, Shuri, is a member of the Wakanda royal family and T'Challah's brother. Her extraordinary intellect has also essentially made her a superhero in earlier films.
This notion appears to be supported by a fresh Marvel poster that debuted on October 3. It places Shuri in the heart of the action. Either Black Panther 2 has unveiled its superhero, or this is a misdirection.
NAKIA IS THE NEW BLACK PANTHER
We assumed Lupita Nyong'o would get the part after the first teaser made it seem likely. That notion isn't precisely supported by this new teaser and poster, but it isn't really refuted either. Nakia has the practical experience you'd need to become the Black Panther and, in any case, she'll play a significant part in Wakanda Forever.
It's also conceivable that other characters in Black Panther 2 may assume the role. What if the character is played by both Shuri and Nakia at various stages in the film? In relation to that...
OKOYE IS THE NEW BLACK PANTHER
Okoye, who is portrayed by Danai Gurira, is capable of becoming Black Panther. Although a stretch, it is certainly conceivable, especially if more than one individual wears the outfit in Black Panther 2.
QUEEN RAMONDA IS THE NEW BLACK PANTHER
Although it's the farthest of them all, it's not impossible. We are aware that the Snap that destroyed T'Challah and Shuri did not harm Angela Basset's persona. Could this be a flashback to a time during the Blip when the queen of Wakanda was forced to assume the identity of Black Panther herself? Ramonda being hailed the legendary superhero in Black Panther 2 seems improbable in any case.
BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER PREMIERES IN THEATERS ON NOVEMBER 11.
