Why not let M'Baku (Winston Duke) become Black Panther?
Seeing the Jabari assume a leadership role in Wakanda could be more interesting than just passing the mantle onto Shuri.

shareI completely agree. M'Baku refused it when Nakia offered it unlike Killmonger who gobbled it up when he had the chance. This is what I want. M'Baku deserves it. I hate Shuri so M'Baku getting it would please me no end.

M’Baku is a Luddite though - he’s against advanced tech, which is one of the franchise’s selling points
I can’t see him turning technophile without losing what makes him interesting as a character
Ironic considering Winston Duke is himself a Yale graduate
Doubly ironic since Letitia Wright, who plays Shuri, the biggest technophile in the MCU, thinks that the enzymes in coronavirus vaccines are derived from the Devil.
shareLife has a sense of humor sometimes.
shareWow, I’m surprised this wasn’t larger news. Link?
shareShe deleted all of her social media accounts within days of the backlash. Also, there wasn't much of a follow-up attempt by the media, for whatever reasons. I assume Disney was in damage control so that 'Black Panther 2' wouldn't become even more of a train-wreck.
One of the points she doubled down on is Luciferase which is an enzyme used in the vaccine. It’s an ‘interesting name’ apparently, hinting that it’s too close to Lucifer.

Wow, that is crazy. I guess Disney really did do some damage control there.
shareI think they had to since Wright was the logical choice and hot favourite to take over the Black Panther role.

Given the fact that the side-effects of the vaccine has higher mortality rates than COVID on its own, she may be on to something.
In fact, none of the vaccines even prevent you from contracting COVID:

And people still die with COVID as a co-morbidity even after having taken the vaccine:

In fact, more people have died from the COVID vaccines than any other vaccine within the last decade:

ZERO people suffered from those issues with COVID.
So you actually run higher risks getting a vaccine than just getting over COVID, since it has a 99.7% survival rate. Taking the vaccine is literally playing Russian roulette.
COVID-19 vaccines help keep you from getting seriously ill even if you do get COVID-19. Getting vaccinated yourself may also protect people around you, particularly people at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
It’s why I got vaccinated.

One of the things about M'Baku learned was the Jabari couldn't stay on the outside. Their very survival depended on that, and that's why in the end he brought his tribe to the final battle with W'Kabi's boarder tribes because they gave in so easily to Killmonger's whims. M'Baku then came in support when Thanos' Black Order invaded Wakanda and again came to his King's side, unlike W'Kabi who refused. M'Baku was on the front lines when in Endgame he stood with his King and Cap in the final battle with Thanos. Also at the end of "Black Panther" he had won a seat at the council beside T'Challa. That's how progressed he'd become in his understanding about the Jabari survivabiliy as well as the survival of Wakanda, his home. I think by now it's safe to say he is fully on board with Wakanda's technological advances. I think T'Challa's 'death' taught him something about his own prejudices. I mean the Jabari who rescued T'Challa didn't have to, and M'Baku didn't have to give him, Nakia, Ramonda, Shuri, and Ross refuge. He could have handed them right back to Killmonger. But he didn't.
shareThat's one option, as is the Shuri option, and frankly... the behind-the-scenes decision may be based on whether the Marvel Powers that Be think that either one of them can carry the lead in a movie. Or in Wright's case, if they can be trusted to refrain from causing bad publicity.
Duke had a lead in the very popular "Us", and has no scandal attached to his name. Both give him an edge...
Indeed. And in 'US' he was opposite Lupita Nyong'o.
shareHe is coming back for the sequel
