Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is grossing millions at the box office. The movie also gets a ton of praise for introducing characters like Namor and Ironheart seamlessly into the MCU. Fans are now speculating where we will see these characters again, especially Shuri who is the new Black Panther. Now, if a new rumor is true, we’ll see it again in an anticipated Disney+ show.
Where will we see Shuri next?
In Black Panther 2, we saw Shuri befriend Riri Williams. The new Black Panther saved the MIT student’s life by bringing her to Wakanda. In return, Riri created a new costume and saved Wakanda in their fight against Namor and the Talokans.
Recently, Marvel Studios executive Nate Moore clarified that Ironheart takes place right after Black Panther. It is therefore expected that characters from the film will appear on his show. And according to a rumor doing the rounds on the internet, we’ll see the new Black Panther in the Disney+ series Ironheart. The rumor comes from the MCU Source handle on Twitter.

But will we see Shuri dress up as Black Panther again on the Ironheart show? Or will she be there as a genius technician to help Riri? We think the latter is more likely as Shuri can help her new friend polish her costumes. However, the appearance of Black Panther may shake things up and lead to the US government pursuing her.
After all, even at the end of Black Panther 2, the US government still believes it was Wakanda who killed its scientists in the ship. And with Val at the helm, peace no longer seems to be an option. This can therefore serve to deepen the plot points already established in the film.
What other MCU characters can appear in Ironheart?
Right now there are a lot of rumors about Tony Stark and James Rhodes appearing in the show Ironheart. After all, in the comics, Tony is the AI in his suit. Director Ryan Coogler even teased a ‘complicated connection‘ between Coeur de Fer and Coeur de Fer.
As for Rhodey, it is assumed that he will meet her about her costumes. We saw in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever that the Feds now know her and her costumes. It is therefore not a range to suppose that this word will reach Rhodes and that it will approach it.
Apart from them, Spider-Man’s MJ and Ned are also said to be in the show. After all, in Spider-Man: No Way Home, we saw them both enter MIT. So an appearance of these two could be possible.
