Looks are deceiving to the audience’s eyes. It is still assumed that the male character would be the rightful heir to the throne even if he is not capable of running a kingdom. While Black Panther was more than capable of running the vibranium-rich kingdom of Wakanda, fans are doubting about the power of his sister Shuri and wonder if she is capable or not…based on a training scene.

Therefore, it is a very likely possibility that the sister of king T’Challa will step up to take the throne of Wakanda for its protectivity. Being a female, there are several people that are questioning her character’s abilities and powers as a queen. These people want a “training scene” of Shuri to become the next Black Panther but other people pointed out that king T’Challa didn’t have one either.

The people united to stand against the poor logic that the strong women of Wakanda wouldn’t have trained for a battle since the Dora Milaje are one of the most powerful armies in the MCU.

The movie will also include Namor as the antagonist who is the king of an Atlantis-like kingdom called “Talocan”. Namor will be the antagonist in the movie while Dora Milaje, Shuri, and other members of the royal family get dragged into a power struggle for the throne.

The movie will mark the end of Phase 4 of the MCU and will release on 11th November 2022 in theaters across the globe.
