Funny thing but I would have no problem cribbing the MCU Dora for further adaptations. Cause at least the Dora there are actually likable. Like when the trailer showed images of Aneka in the Midnight Angels armor, I didn't have much of an issue with it because Aneka isn't a traitorous jerk like she is in the comics.
Also Shuri would probably be playable in the same the Arkham games and Insomniac Spider games have extra playable characters. Shuri's abilities fall into the same base as T'Challa himself like Peter and Miles, so she can largely play similar to him with some additions of her own.
This can also extend to other characters as the series does make heavy use of multiple variants of the hero character. Hunter could be playable, and its possible to make a prequel DLC campaign starring T'Chaka/Azzuri where they can do stuff like fighting and teaming up with Captain America.
MCU Dora are basically Hudlin’s Dora with more clothing lol. So really a hypothetical BP game would just be taking Hudlin’s depiction with the MCU appearance. The MCU will also probably give the Dora a better arc than the comics did. I don’t see MCU Wakanda suffering from a mass rape problem nor do I think an MCU adaptation of A nation under our feet would try to vaguely imply Wakandans are homophobic and the royal family needs to be stripped of power.
So the more movie inspiration a BP game takes from the movies the better, as far as the Dora are concerned. And you’re right Shuri will likely be playable to some degree. May even get her own spin-off game which would be great to see, especially if they do the Griot storyline. I could see them doing flashbacks with previous BPs for sections of the game but ideally I’d prefer the first BP game to limit playable characters to Shuri, Okoye, and an M’Baku DLC. We can save the exploration of past BPs for a sequel imo, it’s key they get T’Challa right and give him a distinctive flavor before developing previous mantle holders.
Yea I’m really happy for Walker. Bitter Root is one of the best comics I’ve read in years and I’m incredibly hype for the movie. Hopefully his stock increases a lot after this win and Marvel gives him the chance to do a BP comic the way he wanted to back in 2016. He’s one of the best and most successful black writers out there, he’d do wonders at Marvel on a bunch of properties.

His comments about the mantle moving beyond T'Challa aside, I can't deny that Rise turned out good with a few nitpicks for his first time writing comics and other than a few things WFW turned out well. Let's say that it's true and we get a BP game that stars T'Challa, #1 on the list of things that Narcisse or whoever is in charge of the story needs to do is not make Shuri a clone of MCU Shuri, let T'Challa's genius shine for once. And if it's true it'll probably be set in another universe and not the Avengers one, preferably the same as the Spider-Men games and Wolverine since the developers teased that they're building their own universe.

Watched the trailer a few times last night and today.
Read the official synopsis.
"Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), Shuri (Letitia Wright), M’Baku (Winston Duke), Okoye (Danai Gurira) and the Dora Milaje (including Florence Kasumba), fight to protect their nation from intervening world powers in the wake of King T’Challa’s death. As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with the help of War Dog Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) and Everett Ross (Martin Freeman) and forge a new path for the kingdom of Wakanda. Introducing Tenoch Huerta as Namor, king of a hidden undersea nation, the film also stars Dominique Thorne, Michaela Coel, Mabel Cadena and Alex Livanalli."
Checked the upcoming toys. [No T’Challa]

Cancelled my Disney+ Bundle.
Saying my farewell to you guys and the fandom for now.
For any of you that are enjoying this current direction, I’m glad that you’re able to feel that joy. I myself will have to be content with the concept of T’Challa the Black Panther, and the Uninterrupted Black Excellence of Wakanda.
“Eyangi (peace)”.

Honestly, I wouldn’t want them to trade in nostalgia for the lead voice actor. Love JCM II but dude is almost 50 lol. We already had a T’Challa in the movies that was in his late 30s. I’d much prefer someone who could grow organically with the role, be used as a face model, and restore the feeling of a youngish T’Challa. Can Damson Idris voice act lol.
And personally I’d prefer a stand alone universe built just for BP with little crossover from other franchises. With the rumor that Insomniac could be doing a multiplayer X-Men game, the last thing I want is for a BP project in that universe is to feel forced to include Storm. Plus, I wouldn’t want the developers to feel constrained in any way at all.
and see this is why we need the media to ask the tough questions
Feige just can spin Boseman's name to whatever narrative fits
