Letitia Wright Hints at the Return of Her BLACK PANTHER Character Shuri in Future Marvel Projects
Black Panther actress Letitia Wright, who has played the former king’s sister, Shuri, in the films, is teasing a possible return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Marvel star made an appearance on The View to promote her latest movie, Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot, and she was inevitably asked about her future in the MCU.
Sunny Hostin asked, “There are some new Avenger movies on the horizon, and everyone wants to know if Shuri will be making another appearance in the Marvel universe. We need it.”
Wright was taken aback by the question and carefully chose her words while answering, saying, “If it’s, uh, let’s just say, let’s just say… I would like to continue with Shuri. She’s one of my favorite characters, such a blessing, honestly, I kid you not. I’m so grateful for her.”
When asked if a third installment of Black Panther was in the works, Wright teased, “There’s a lot coming up.”
Of course she can’t say anything, but maybe the best chance of her return is Marvel’s Avengers 5, which is scheduled for release May 2026. The studio also has Avengers: Secret Wars set for release on May 7, 2027.
