MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD FOR BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER AHEAD!
Before the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, it has been speculated and rumored that the film’s post-credits scene will finally feature Doctor Doom. However, during the wakanda forever press tour, director Ryan Coogler and producer Nate Moore both said the iconic Fantastic Four villain would never appear in the sequel.
T’Challa’s return?
Still, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has a post-credits scene, which essentially serves as the end of the film. The scene continues after Shuri burns her dress from T’Challa’s funeral in Haiti. Shuri is then joined by Nakia, who introduces a young boy around five years old. The young boy and Shuri have a conversation before it is finally revealed that he is Nakia and T’Challa’s son, and also goes by his late father’s name. This revelation confirms a plot point originally reported by the cosmic circus Last year.
During the sequence, Nakia also reveals that Queen Ramonda knew T’Challa’s secret son and even met him before he died.

In the comics, T’Challa and Storm have a child named Azari.
