I actually think Michael B. woulda been a good BP. Got no problem with Leiticia Wright but I figured she kinda eliminated herself from the equation so I was hopeful that Killmonger would have a crisis of identity and come back and take the mantle of BP.

I think Micheal B. Jordan could be a great Black Panther, and I think the studios think that as well..he looks the part, he already was a Black Panther, he's a big actor, he's already a fan favourite.. as much as I'd be down..I still have a strong feeling it's going to be Letitia since it makes more sense from actual source material standpoint, but lately Marvel Studios doesn't really care about that much.

Either, or both. Aside from being born for taking the brunt of the "Snap" I don't remember him being of any particular use in either movie. I guess he did hold up the collapsing Avengers compound so some real heroes could escape and do some real fighting, so thanks for the assist, but basically all he did throughout the movie was talk. He talked Thor into coming back and doing actual super hero work and then talked the Ancient One into letting him borrow the stone. Literally anyone could have done either or both. Why did Stark even waste materials on a time travel suit for him? Then he pissed and moaned about having to smash something just so he could imitate himself at a time where he actually used his powers. I just keep thinking about what a buzz kill getting this Hulk was after all the excitement and build up when we all found out Prof Hulk was coming. In the comics Prof Hulk was an arrogant, confidant, brash, unapologetic and sometimes sadistic bad ayass who had no qualms about cracking skulls when negotiations didn't work, but this version was a completely useless and annoying tool. Coincidentally enough, those kinda roles seem to be the ones Ruffalo was born to play, so he was right at home ruining this character. And he ain't done yet. Trailers of She-Hulk aren't making him look like much more than some pseudo-guru trying to teach Jennifer how to control or basically keep from using her powers, when it looks like she's chomping at the bit to "SMASH". This Hulk can't get lost fast enough.

When the only lasting image you have of an iconic and beloved character like the Hulk is him doing the Dap and hitting some fans with a cliche' "Don't Do Drugs" send off, you know that's a sad, sad day.

You mean Infinity War, where Hulk was shown in the trailers and punching stuff, and even had figures in the basic line...but we know Bruce's state in that movie.

It better be Katy or I'm out for life, no in actuality watch it's Killmonger who isn't dead.....oh boy.

I think based on these products that Shuri could be the next Black Panther. As much as I want to see Killmonger back, we must think about this in-universe, if the Wakandans had the technology to resurrect their dead, why would they not just resurrect T'Challa instead of the usurper of their throne and almost killed their (former) king without mercy.

Yeah, and everything I saw about End Game before it was released led me to believe Hulk was actually gonna punch something in the movie. Eh, conceptualizing and ideas, whaddayagonnado?

It's all a giant ruse made to create all kinds of rumor and gossip. The new Black Panther will not be Shuri. Isn't it all but obvious that the new BP will be Katy from Shang-Chi?

yeah that is true, I think one that comes to mind was Warmachine Hulk Buster from some Endgame LEGO set, which obviously that was not in the movie ha, but I think when it seems obvious like Shuri as BP, likely it's coming true, but hey you never know maybe this is just LEGO's fan fiction.

Well Lego isn't exactly 100% reliable with Spoilers, Hank Pym in Ant Man's finale springs to mind along with everyone in the Batcave from The Batman
