Now that the world has had time to mourn the tragic loss of
Chadwick Boseman from his years-long battle with colon cancer on August 28, 2020, many fans have started to speculate what the future holds next for the
Black Panther and the futuristic
African nation of
Wakanda in the
Marvel Cinematic Universe. Will the role of
'King T'Challa' be re-cast, or will his sister,
'Shuri', don the mantle just like in the comic books, or could his general of the
Dora Milaje, 'Okoye', wear the ceremonial panther suit or even super-spy
'Nakia'? What is clear is how much of an inspiration the actor and superhero was for a whole new generation. Only time will tell what a
Black Panther sequel may hold, but in the meantime enjoy
Ruth E. Carter's Oscar-winning costume designs from the first solo movie, worn by
Angela Bassett as
'Queen Mother Ramonda' and
Lupita Nyong'o as
'Nakia'.
