Only when Shuri has looked inward and processed her grief is she able to receive the gift of a nephew who shares her brother’s name. But when it is time for the young T’Challa to make his presence known to Wakanda, and to the world, it will carry an emotional charge because we know where he comes from. “A man who has not prepared his children for his own death has failed as a father”, T’Chaka tells his son in the 2018 movie. For one thing, even though Shuri has seemingly relinquished the right to the throne by the end of Wakanda Forever, there’s still more of her story to be told, and it’s likely that Coogler will want to honour that. [Black Panther](https://www.empireonline.com/movies/reviews/black-panther-review-2/), when T’Challa converses with his father in the Ancestral Plane. The silent imagery showing the bond between T’Challa and Shuri is all the more affecting for it being the only instance in which we engage with T’Challa in the film, warming and breaking the heart in equal measure. For some, it was simply not the right time for the Black Panther mantle to be passed to another. And she certainly isn’t ready to perform the mourning ritual taught to her by her mother, Queen Ramonda ( [Angela Bassett](https://www.empireonline.com/people/angela-bassett/)), and begin to heal. That alone would have been a fitting end to the movie – but Coogler and co.

The success of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever means a sequel must be in the cards at Marvel Studios, with some key storylines started in Phase 4.

Ryan Coogler has many avenues that he could follow with the story for Black Panther 3, helped by some emotional and intense storylines that have started to grow in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. A deleted scene for Wakanda Forever reveals that the leader of the Border Tribe had attempted to convince Okoye to challenge for the throne of Wakanda, which could perhaps open the door for the new Midnight Angel to become Queen during Black Panther 3. This story would certainly be in keeping with Coogler's big swings during the Black Panther films and would be a great payoff for many who wished to see Victor Von Doom introduced in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. This would be the perfect progression for her character in the MCU, and it would be great to see Danai Gurira portray a powerful and charismatic Queen. Vibranium has been a key element of the MCU since its beginning since it's the metal that forms Captain America's shield, but Black Panther and Wakanda Forever stressed the fact that many of the world's governments want to get their hands on vibranium for their own purposes. Wakanda has had a rough go of it for the past few years, losing their King, T'Chaka, during Captain America: Civil War, losing T'Challa at the beginning of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and seeing Queen Ramonda drown during Namor's attack on Wakanda. The fact that Okoye and Aneka have already taken their places as two of Wakanda's Midnight Angels could create the perfect opportunity to introduce Doctor Doom as the primary villain for Black Panther 3. One of the biggest plot points during Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was Shuri's attempts to create a synthetic heart-shaped herb, which would allow the Black Panther to return to Wakanda after T'Challa's death, and Killmonger's destruction of the heart-shaped herbs in Black Panther. Wakanda Forever brilliantly set up some epic adventures for the future of Wakanda and the MCU as a whole, which could see the introduction of some much-anticipated characters during Black Panther 3 and beyond. While T'Challa's death at the beginning of Wakanda Forever made Shuri give up on her quest to create the herb, the death of her mother, Queen Ramonda, motivated her more than ever to finish her work and bring the Black Panther back to Wakanda. [Prince T'Challa, whose Haitian name is Toussaint](https://screenrant.com/tchalla-son-toussaint-prince-wakanda-forever/), debuted during Wakanda Forever means that T'Challa's, and by extension Boseman's, legacy can live on in the form of his son. The follow-up to 2018's [Black Panther](https://screenrant.com/tag/black-panther/) went through some dramatic changes in development after the sudden death of Chadwick Boseman, the MCU's Black Panther, eventually delivering a story that explored the Wakandans' grief at losing their King, losing their subsequent Queen, and seeing the new Black Panther rise as Shuri develops a synthetic heart-shaped herb.
