Marvel Studios has released a new television spot for "Black Panther," and it revolves around the Black Panther's entourage including his sister, Shuri, Dora Milaje, and Black Panther's bodyguards/assistants/wives-in-training.
Chadwick Boseman, the actor who plays T'Challa in "Black Panther," has previously revealed that Shuri is the most important role in the upcoming movie.
"Her role is the most important," Boseman said in an interview with CNET. "In the comic book, T'Challa is a scientist and a king, but my sister is the whiz kid. She is the one with that gift. She's the Tony Stark of Wakanda. She's witty, she's cool, she's funny. Now, T'Challa is good in science too, but she's the whiz. That's the way the story's been told forever. T'Challa is technologically sound. He's a scientist as well, but she's the minister of technology."
Letitia Wright, the actress who plays Shuri also told CBR in an interview that she is ready to step up and become a superhero herself, adding that it is exciting how the team behind the film takes elements from the comic book and add their own flavor to it. Whether her character will be taking on the mantle of Black Panther similar to what happened in the comic book remains to be a mystery.
According to Comicbook.com, "Black Panther" currently has a user anticipation rating of 4.17 out of 5, making it the second most anticipated upcoming comic book movie among visitors of the website.
