"Black Panther" breakout character Shuri (Letitia Wright) is set to charm everyone once again when "Avengers: Infinity War" premieres as she joins fellow Marvel Cinematic Universe geniuses like Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) in the big fight against Thanos (Josh Brolin). It remains to be seen how the trio will interact, but Wright already knows how their meeting might go.
"I think she'll be OK," she told the L.A. Times. "I think she would humble herself to learn from them, and challenge them as well with new designs and new ideas from Wakanda. And she's willing to learn from the West because her brother is so open now. I think she's embracing that as well. She would hold her own."
Of course, given the massive cast of "Infinity War," it is uncertain if the Wakandan princess would be sharing the screen with the Science Bros. However, the trailer did show an epic battle in the then-isolationist kingdom, so she will likely be introduced to some Avengers at some point. Fans can only hope it will include the brains, Banner and Stark.
Apart from Shuri, Wakanda's Queen Mother Ramonda (Angela Bassett) and T'Challa's most trusted general and ally, Okoye (Danai Gurira), are also expected to join "Infinity War." The Jabari and their leader Winston Duke's M'Baku are appearing as well, as evidenced by the film's trailer.
Directed by Ryan Coogler, "Black Panther" is currently in theaters. It premiered on Feb. 16, earning rave reviews and breaking box office records left and right. Per Forbes, the film has the biggest February opening weekend, biggest opening weekend for any movie not directed by a white filmmaker, biggest pre-summer opening weekend, and biggest solo superhero launch of all time, among others. "Infinity War" is expected to have the same reception when it hit the big screen on May 4.
