Well who is the new Black Panther?

In this video we’re going to run through every single possibility, tell you the odds, and most importantly–we’re going to break down which option would make for the best story–and offer up a few theories.

So people like W'kabi, MBaku, Killmonger–everyone who is Wakandan is on the board.

First, I want to say this movie presents the most unique story in the MCU. The passing of Chadwick Boseman was an incredible shame. The man was an incredible talent. So when Marvel decided to not recast the character, they were essentially killing off their lead character of a franchise one story in.

This is something we’ve never seen in a movie before. Imagine if Steve Rogers died in the opening sequence of the Winter Soldier, or if Palladium would have taken out Tony in Iron Man 2. This is a storytelling opportunity on the level of the Red Wedding, where we have absolutely no idea what is going to happen next.

Plus, the characters in the movie will be experiencing grief and trauma–just like the audience's very real feeling about Chadwick Boseman’s death. Add into this that there is a mystery about the new Black Panther–we’ve never seen a superhero movie where we don’t know the density of a superhero before.

I wish with all my heart that Chadwick Boseman was still with us, but it seems like Ryan Coolger and his team are paying tribute to the king, while using his passing to tell a compelling story.

So let’s speculate about who this new Black Panther is.

Most importantly, remember that there are no more heart shaped herbs. So the superpowered Black Panthers died with T'challa. We have some theories on where the new herb could come from that I’ll get into later in the video.

And I also need to address the assumption that Shuri will become Black Panther, like she is in the comics. But there are a lot of behind the scenes reasons why it could not be Shuri that I’ll explain later on as well.

First, W’Kabi, Daniel Kaluuya is a tremendous actor. In the first Black Panther he played T’challa’s confidant from the comics, W’kabi–who turned on him and ended with Killmonger. But we already know that W’kabi is not the Black Panther, because Daniel Kaluuya couldn’t film the movie because of filming conflicts with the movie Nope.

A much more likely option is M’Baku. When we first met this character, he challenged T’challa for the throne. Now in the comics, he is a villain. But the movie turned him into more of an anti-hero, and Winston Duke had a lot of fun with the part.

His tribe, the Jabari, are outside of Wakanda. They live in the borderlands, and would be the first to secede if there was a Wakandan civil war. Except in the movies, we’ve seen M’Baku throw his support behind T’challa against killmonger. Then he fought for Wakanda against Thanos, then fought with the people of earth against 2014 Thanos.

But, the Panther we see at the end of the movie is too slim to be Winston Duke. So I think he would more than likely be an antagonist going forward.

One wrinkle in M'Baku’s story is that he was dusted. So it’s possible that during the five year blip, he changed his tune a bit, and became more isolationist. Maybe he challenged for the throne, but then was forced out when T'challa returned.

I do think he is a more interesting character if he challenges for the throne at some point. His loyalty was to T'challa, the man who beat him in combat. So maybe he wouldn’t be cool with another Panther. Remember, he had beef with Shuri.

I’m going to throw out a left field option: maybe it could be Ramonda. Angela Bassett is a tour de force, one of the greatest actresses of her generation. Her becoming Black Panther would be a definite twist–but a bad one. As far as we know, she’s not a fighter, and the Black Panther's primary role is to be a protector of the people.
