It certainly feels as if there’s a shift brewing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
We’re mere weeks away from the release ofDeadpool & Wolverinewhich has already promised us “universe-sized” stakes that are certain to shake up theMCU.
Then, there’s the fact that we could soon be dealing with a new big bad after rumours surfaced claiming thatDisneyhad dropped Johnathan Majors’ Kang following a series of accusations made against the actor.

Nothing has yet been publicly confirmed but insiders say thatAvengers: The Kang Dynastyis now beinginternally referred to asAvengers 5.
We should receive some confirmation soon as Marvel is set to return to San Diego Comic Con’s Hall H this summer for a super-sized panel.
It was back in 2019, following the release ofAvengers: Endgame, that Marvel last dazzled us with a major Hall H panel, revealing the plans for both Phases Five and Six of the MCU.
Here’s to hoping that this year’s edition, paired with the release ofDeadpool & Wolverine,can win back disillusioned fans.

In that 2022 film, we saw Letita Wright’s Shuri take up the mantle of the Black Panther, but it seems that Shuri could be passing the title along to a third contender.
According to so-called Marvel insider Alex Perez,viaa Q&A with The Cosmic Circus, Perez suggested that Shuri will eventually step back as the Black Panther and allow Prince T’Challa to assume the role.
“Shuri is still taking time for herself, as she is not interested in the slightest in being Queen of Wakanda,” Perez explained.

“She is still keeping the mantle of Black Panther, BUT, I am hearing that she will eventually pass on the mantle to the one true successor of the throne of Wakanda, the young Prince T’Challa, son of King T’Challa.”
“It is to my understanding that she, along with Okoye and Nakia, are raising this child so he can eventually take on the mantle and become the next ruler of Wakanda and Black Panther."
Of course, I urge you to take this with a pinch of salt until any official announcements are made.
