Who’s Taking the Battle Mask After T’Challa?
The latest Black Panther trailer has us all feeling the love—and the loss—of Wakanda’s fallen king. So, the burning question: who’s stepping into the red suit next?
Three Lego Sets That Drop the Hints
The designers behind the new Lego editions have decided to give us a gentle nudge by packing in clues. Below are the sets that just landed on the shelves, and the one that’s leading the pack in suspicion.
- Shuri’s Sunbird 76211 – The most exciting of the trio. This set comes with three minifigures: Shuri (Letitia Wright), Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne), and War Dog Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o). The lineup makes it clear that the dark‑suit champion is planning to be a Shuri / Riri / Nakia combo, or perhaps one of them has finally been called to the throne.
- King Namor’s Throne Room 76213 – A grand set worthy of a once‑king. Though less spooky than the first, the throne room’s august vibe hints at a dramatic new tale for Wakanda’s navy king, albeit no definite “uprising” info…yet.
- Shuri’s Lab 76212 – A space of high‑tech tinkering. While fun, it’s more about Shuri’s scientific genius than a fresh “hero” spotlight.
So, between intellectual brilliance, gritty diplomacy, and raw combat, there’s a trio of candidates ready to slap on that iconic mask. Only time (and maybe some lovely build‑wing) will tell.
The Bottom Line
Once this set shipped to your local toy store and you set up that shiny sun‑bird, you’ll probably see the next Black Panther staring back at you in a distinctly Wakanda‑style metallic sheen. Whether it’s Shuri, Riri, or War Dog Nakia, one thing is clear: the Black Panther lineage is staying alive, electrifying, and ready for a new chapter.
Shuri’s Purple Power: Black Panther Gets a Fresh Twist
Ever wondered what it feels like to blend superhero lore with a splash of royalty‑grade neon? Shuri’s stepping into the spotlight again—this time dressed in a snazzy purple version of the Black Panther suit, armed with her famed arm blasters. The visual cue? She’s probably the hero we’re going to follow on the grand adventure this time.
Why Shuri? The 2010 Dark Reign Legacy
- Shuri first took the mantle in 2010 during the Dark Reign saga.
- Her impeccable tech skills and fearless spirit made her the go‑to queen.
- Fans of the comics will already have their arm‑cannon pal or two ready for the big move.
And for those who crave deeper lore, the sets also showcase Tenoch Huerta’s Namor and Attuma—highlighted inside King Namor’s Throne Room 76213. These are the same figures that were buzzed about months before the San Diego Comic Con in 2022.
