Black Panther 2 Merch Reveals Okoye & Shuri Full Costumes In MCU Movie
Merchandise for the upcoming Black Panther: Wakanda Forever reveals the costumes that Shuri and Okoye will likely be wearing in the Marvel sequel. The film, which comes to theaters on November 11, 2022, will be the next theatrical release in Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe following Thor: Love and Thunder next weekend. Wakanda Forever is the follow-up to the 2018 Oscar-winning Black Panther, the film that explored the title character's homeland of Wakanda after he and his father T'Chaka were first introduced in 2016's Captain America: Civil War.
Tragically, Black Panther lead actor Chadwick Boseman passed away from colon cancer in 2020. This forced returning director and co-writer Ryan Coogler to restructure the follow-up film. He ultimately decided not to recast T'Challa (AKA Black Panther), instead focusing on further exploring the supporting characters that were introduced in the original film. This ensemble includes Lupita Nyong'o as Nakia, Danai Gurira as Okoye, Daniel Kaluuya as W'Kabi, Letitia Wright as Shuri, Winston Duke as M'Baku, and Angela Bassett as Ramonda, all denizens of the high-tech African nation of Wakanda, which was revealed to the world in the end of the first film. Black Panther 2 will also introduce the character Riri Williams, played by Dominique Thorne, who will later be featured in her own MCU Disney+ series, Ironheart.
