AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Has Seemingly Added Another Main Cast Member From BLACK PANTHER
Avengers: Infinity War may have finished shooting but it's now seemingly been confirmed that another main cast member from Black Panther will appear in the highly anticipated release. Here's who it is...
We know that Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) will play a key role in Avengers: Infinity War as he battles an alien horde alongside Steve Rogers and The Winter Soldier but it's now been confirmed that Danai Gurira's Okoye won't be the only supporting character from T'Challa's world showing up here. According to IMDb (and this is an actual article on their site rather than a random update from a contributor), Letitia Wright will be returning as Shuri, Black Panther's sister and Wakanda's tech expert.
It makes sense that she would show up here, especially as Earth's Mightiest Heroes will need all the help they can get against Thanos. It remains to be seen whether the stage will be set for her to suit up as Black Panther in the same way as her comic book counterpart but she'll no doubt see some action.
It's also feasible that Shuri is going to play a role in bringing Bucky out of his deep freeze but we'll have to wait and see. Either way, you have to believe there's now a chance that she'll also appear in Avengers 4 as that movie is also expected to boast a massive ensemble cast. What do you guys think of this news?
