She was the undisputed breakout of Marvel’s Black Panther and now it seems as though Letitia Wright’s Shuri is about to steal one or two scenes in Avengers: Infinity War, as evidenced by this newly-unveiled clip from the upcoming epic.
It’s pulled from a recording of Wright’s appearance on Good Morning America, so excuse the quality. Nevertheless, this preview still offers a peek into Infinity War‘s Wakanda sequence, in which Steve Rogers, Bruce Banner, King T’Challa and Shuri gather around a wounded Vision to deduce the Mind Stone and its untold power.
There’s a good chance Paul Bettany’s demigod was injured during his run-in with the Black Order, given previous trailers have revealed that Vision and Scarlet Witch’s decision to shack up in Edinburgh is rudely interrupted by Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive – two of Thanos’ high-ranking lieutenants who descend on the cobbled streets of the Scottish capital in search of the Mind Stone.
Circling back to Shuri, though, and we understand she’ll be joined by a number of other prominent Black Panther stars later this month, including King T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman), Okoye (The Walking Dead‘s Danai Gurira) and the Queen Mother Ramonda (Angela Bassett).
But there’s another member of the cast stowed away in Wakanda. His name? Bucky Barnes, who has shed his Winter Soldier identify in favor of the White Wolf. A former operative for HYRDA, Sebastian Stan’s anti-hero is ready to make amends on the plains of Wakanda, where the finale of Avengers: Infinity War is expected to take place. And that’s before we even consider the battle royale on Titan, the doomed homeworld of Thanos.
All will be revealed on April 27th.
