“Replacement” Black Panther Wakanda Forever Funko Pop leaked online

There’s a new Black Panther Wakanda Forever Funko Pop that showed up online today and it looks like its the “replacement” Black Panther who takes over as the lead replacing Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa.

Here’s what the Shuri Black Panther Funko Pop looks like in its packaged form…

Obviously they don’t want it to be a big spoiler so its just marked as “Black Panther” but you can really see the biggest giveaway for the identity of the new Black Panther and that would be the facial markings that we’ve seen actress Letitia Wright appear in whether its in Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War and even Avengers: Endgame.

But then again Marvel could also give us a big surprise and reveal somewhere that this is actually a returning Michael B. Jordan who played Erik Killmonger in the first movie…

Remember they may have implied that he “died” but they can certainly write up a plausible story as to why he’s still alive. But let’s see.

My money’s still on Shuri though.
