Just to let you know that people able to see the image in the main feed. Not your fault but if people want to keep themselves spoiler free you may need to just include a link next time.

That being said I like that they are given her a bulky suit before the slick suit, just like in the comics. Probably won't get a figure of her in the BP wave so they can wait for her series.

Oops My bad, yeah I can fix that.

Not sure if you were replying to me but it kinda sounded like you were, so I felt compelled to clarify my statement. Ithink you mighta misconstrued what I said. I didn't say Shuri was not in the movie. Promo images like the one you posted and set photos online made it clear she is. All I'm saying is I think Disney woulda fired her if they could have found the right spin, but they couldn't find one that would have left them unscathed so they didn't. I think she was most likely in line to be the new BP and it would have tracked correctly cuz she did serve as BP in the comics, but as soon as she fell outta favor with Disney/Marvel the rumors that M'Baku would actually take the mantle started making the rounds. Unfortunately I don't think that would have been a message Disney wanted to put forth either so in the end I think the smart play (if not the correct one) is to have Okoye take up the role. And it might actually be for the best. Danai Gurira has the look and has the experience playing a bad ayass and it just seems a better fit.

I wasn't actually replying directly to you, just replying at large, many people seemed to be unclear on if Letitia Wright was going to be in this movie, and I was just clarifying that indeed she was, we still don't know if she will take up the mantle of Black Panther but it does seem like the most logical step, since as you mentioned she was Black Panther in the comics for some time, who knows if she will have a large role or not, or be Black Panther, I was just saying she is in the movie, she wasn't booted, and oh hey I actually never thought of Okoye becoming Black Panther, this is something I am actually thinking could now be a possibility, although she wasn't in the comics, we know that Marvel Studios does put their own spins on things and her taking the mantle doesn't seem like such a bad idea, she is loved as a character, and her experience in the films would make her a good candidate. Winston Duke would be cool , but I'd rather and do hope they develop him into more of a villain and trully become Man-Ape in the future, so lets not hope he comes Black Panther I don't think that would work.

Not sure why people are speculating about Shuri being in BP 2, I already posted above a picture of her in a new costume, with Okoye from promo material, which should substantiate she is in the movie, plus she is stated to be in the movie on Wikipedia, IMDB etc, it's safe to say even with her controversies as of late, disney is still moving forward with Letitia Wright.

still obviously undetermined if she will take the new mantle of BP, but she will be in the movie, and likely have a major role, there is not strong evidence other then articles of her poor choices in recent times to her not being in the movie, it's the contrary.

Surprised they included Namora, it's like almost a Namor movie by now, although I wish she looked little bit more modern but I suppose she will get closer to her modern costume after Namor and Atlntenas become good guys.

I just realized that Namora and Attuma are wearing breathing masks. But yeah, Namora looks good but compared to the other 2 she is straying far from the classic design. I'm guessing that Namor will be the only half human in Atlantis with Namora being his half sister.

New Update

Namora

Most movie news scoopers indicated that Shuri would be the new Panther, while others implied that Shuri, M'Baku and Okoye might share the title as a team.

Well we all know that the actor playing Shuri has been a very bad girl by Disney protocal so she probably managed to get herself nixed from being BP. I think the most prominent rumor is for M'Baku, but if I were a betting man I would say Okoye gets the nod.

Oh yeah, I am a betting man. Put me down a five for Okoye.
