Marvel vet Letitia Wright has shared a new detail about her return as Shuri/Black Panther in Avengers: Doomsday. The next installment to Marvel Studios’ blockbuster superhero franchise is slated to arrive in theaters on December 18, 2026, followed by Avengers: Secret Wars on December 17, 2027.
Avengers: Doomsday will feature a new Black Panther suit
During a recent interview with Flip Your Wig, Wright was asked about what it was like to film Avengers: Doomsday as the newest Black Panther of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She expressed how great it was to be able to work with the Russo Brothers again, while also confirming that fans will get to see her in a new Black Panther suit.
“Working with the Russos was a dream come true again for me in this particular position,” she said. “It (her new suit) fits really nice. It looks really special. It looks great.”
Wright continued, “It’s a special film. You know when the Russos get together, it’s a special film. So, I’m excited for everyone to see Shuri as a Black Panther again, and to being a part of the assemble.”

In addition, Wright also revealed that she’ll start working out again once she returns to the Doomsday set, after filming was “stopped.” This is seemingly in line with the previous report about the key cast members set to return for the movie’s reshoots after wrapping up production last August.
Avengers: Doomsday is being directed by Avengers: Endgame filmmakers Joe and Anthony Russo from a screenplay written by Stephen McFeely. The latest installment will feature the return of Marvel vets Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Hemsworth, with Chris Evans rumored to appear. However, this time, the Oppenheimer actor will be playing a completely different role in the form of Victor von Doom/Doctor Doom. The ensemble cast will also include Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Paul Rudd, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Florence Pugh, Tenoch Huerta Mejia, Kelsey Grammer, Lewis Pullman, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, and Danny Ramirez, along with X-Men stars Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier, Ian McKellen as Magneto, Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler, Rebecca Romijn as Mystique, James Marsden as Cyclops, and Channing Tatum as Gambit.
