#10 The Release Date With Endgame and Spider-Man Far from home
recently being released it seems as though the MCU's Phase 3 has come to a close, but
that just means fans will be theorizing all over the internet about when Phase 4 will
begin.
One of the movies confirmed for Phase 4 is Black Panther 2.
After the box office success of the first film its been reported that Ryan Coogler will
be preparing the screen play for Black Panther 2 this year.
However its imperative to Marvel to make this film even better than the last, which will
be no easy task.
If we look at previous dates that Disney seems to cherish for Marvel movie releases we could
see Black Panther 2 being released in either November of 2020 or perhaps February of 2021
to capitalize on Black History Month.
#9 A Resurrected Villain Way back in May of 2018 the Metro UK has reported
that Michael B. Jordan would probably, maybe, reprise his role of the villain Erik Killmonger.
Although we all saw, spoiler alert, Killmonger die at the end of the first Black Panther.
So how could he possibly return for the second film.
Well the internet has its theories, so here's what we believe is the most plausible.
Seeing as though for a moment Erik had taken the mantle of Black Panther that would mean
that once he had perished his soul would now be with the previous Black Panther warriors
on the ancestral plane.
So with that in mind, Erik might make an appearance, but only in the afterlife to give advice to
T'Challa upon his triumphant return to Wakanda.
#8 King M'Baku During the widespread death scenes that went
on in Avengers Infinity War after Thanos had snapped his fingers we got a shot of Wakandas
soldiers being dusted in the battlefield.
However at the very end of that scene we see M'Baku get a close-up and then remain in tact.
T'Challa also vanished in the snappening which meant that the throne of Wakanda was now missing
a king.
During the five year time after the snap had occured its very possible that M'Baku had
taken control of the throne and thus would be regarded as the villain once T'Challa returns.
As one fan theory suggests, M'Baku will become not only the King of Wakanda, but the new
black panther as well.
When T'Challa is brought back he will challenge M'Baku for the kingship, but before losing
M'Baku will retreat to the mountains, yet keep the power of the Black Panther.
This would then set-up a storyline of there being two Wakandans with the power of the
Black Panther..M'Baku is no stranger to taking on the role of a villain either.
In the comic books he is known as Man-Ape and is traditionally one of the more main
villains for T'Challa.
#7 Namor the Villain During the scene in Avengers Endgame where
Black Widow is getting a status report from the other Avengers, Okoye mentions something
about a series of sub-oceanic earthquakes that were occurring off the coast of Africa.
When Natasha asks if they need to be handled, Okoye simply says theres nothing that can
be done about tectonic shifts and then the movie just moves on.
The internet on the other hand, did not.
Many fans believe that this subtle line in the movie is hinting towards Namors introduction.
For fans waiting for Black Panther 2, this line could mean that we will get to see the
on-screen debut of the battles between Wakanda and Atlantis where Namor is not only from,
but rules.
Although as badly as Kevin Feige and fans want Namor to be in this film, its ultimately
going to come down to getting the rights for Namor from Universal Pictures.
#6 X-Men Introduction In the comic books Storm and TChalla were
perhaps one of the strongest couples in the Marvel Universe.
We watched them as teens where Storm rescued TChalla with her weather controlling powers,
then eventually a proposal and marriage.
However with time their relationship led to divorce and Storm parting ways with Wakanda
to stay with the X-Men If there was ever a perfect opportunity to integrate the X-Men
into a mainstream Marvel film, Black Panther 2 would be a terrific opportunity.
They would have real storylines to work from and another superhero who can help save Wakanda
from whatever evil is on the way.
#5 The Soul Stone The infinity stones have all been displayed
in a number of different ways throughout the MCU, everything from the tesseract to the
Aether in Thor The Dark World.
What one theory suggests is that part of the soul stone is fused with the land of Wakanda.
Fans believe that a lot of the scenes we see in the first film are actually hinting at
the Soul Stones power coming into play.
Everything from Wakandas Ancestral Plane where TChalla speaks with his dead father for advice
to the source of the Heart-Shaped Herbs powers.
We know that the Soul Stone is on Vormir, but the theory is that a piece of Vormir infused
with the soul stones power had landed on Wakanda and then experimented on by their top scientists
leading to their empowerment.
#4 Kraven the Hunter Another rumored villain for the Black Panther
sequel is classic Spider-Man bad guy Kraven the Hunter.
In the Spider-Man comics Kraven attempts to prove that he is the worlds greatest hunter
by taking out the webslinger, but we have yet to see him make a peep in any of the previous
films.
Ryan Coogler has said in a number of different interviews that he would love to snag Kraven
for a Black Panther film.
Coogler said - Being a Marvel fan, you want to grab all the characters.
You realize theres contractual things.
You dont have that Character.
There was a Christopher Priest run that was pretty heavy, theres a big scene where Panthers
fighting Kraven, Kraven the Hunter.- Although due to Sony owning Kraven its going to take
a lot of back and forth agreements between Disney and Sony to have him in the film.
There is the possibility that we get a mention or brief teaser scene of Kraven which would
actually help set him up for a larger role in the next Spider-Man film.
#3 Mephisto If you dont know Mephisto is Marvels equivalent
to Satan or the Devil.
Going back to the Christopher Priest comic book run Coogler mentioned in the last point,
Mephisto had a pretty big role as a villain against Black Panther.
TChalla is extremely powerful so he deals with Mephisto quite easily, but regardless
bringing to life the comic book pages of Mephisto kidnapping Everett Ross and then trying to
drag Black Panther to hell would be quite the cinematic adventure in our opinion.
#2 Doctor Doom Another proposed theory of who the villain
for the Black Panther sequel could be is Doctor Doom.
A while back before Disney purchased Fox there was even rumors of the evil Doctor Doom getting
his very own film, although since the buyout happened a lot of those plans were thrown
out.
On the bright side of things this could mean Doom getting an opportunity as the main antagonist
for Black Panther 2.
The two have gone head to head in the past and Dooms appearance would certainly put his
home of Latveria in the category of places not to mess with.
Much like Wakanda, Latveria is an advanced society although one that is ruled by Dooms
dictatorship rather than a family of royals.
#1 A New Black Panther When the snap occured Shuris fate was left
unknown.
Although with her triumphant return in Avengers End Game many fans continued speculating on
the role shell play in the next Black Panther film.
Between the events of Infinity War and the release of Endgame a lot of fans were theorizing
that Shuri wasnt snapped away and had actually taken on the mantle of Black Panther in the
wake of their leader going missing.
Even with TChalla back that still doesnt mean that we wont ever see a new Black Panther.
Theres the possibility that something happens to TChalla or he must sacrifice himself and
thus Shuri will take the throne as the next in line.
Its an interesting theory and one that would certainly add another tech-savvy genius hero
to the Avengers.
Plus, after Tony died we may need that more than ever.
And that has been the Top 10 Black Panther 2 Fan Theories.
