Two ‘Black Panther’ Characters Confirmed As ‘Infinity War’ Survivors, Here Are The Key Players Still Alive In The MCU

While some of our favorite heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe were seemingly erased from existence at the end ofAvengers: Infinity War, we now have word about twoBlack Panthercharacters who can be added to the list ofInfinity Warsurvivors. So who was spared by Thanos’s snap, and who are among the remaining forces who could possibly right this wrong inAvengers 4? Read on to find out.

Which Black Panther Characters Survived?

In a new interview withScreenRant, actressAngela Bassett(who plays Ramonda, Wakanda’s queen mother, inBlack Panther) was asked if she believed her character disappeared during Thanos’s devastating “snap heard round the universe” at the end of the film. Here’s her response:

“No. Neither did my daughter. Shuri, she’s a bright girl there in Wakanda. So…”

Shuri Vision

Avengers: Infinity WarandAvengers 4filmed back-to-back, so while Bassett’s character didn’t actually appear inInfinity War, maybe she shows up in the sequel. In that comment, she seems to hint that Shuri (Letitia Wright)’s intelligence is at least partially what saves the day. We know Shuriwill soon be headlining her own Marvel comicwhere she has to begrudgingly step up and rule Wakanda in T’Challa’s absence, but I’m guessing her genius-level intellect will be utilized in the upcoming sequel to figure out a way to undo (at least some of) Thanos’s damage. Captain Marvel probably won’t be able to do everything by herself, and considering Shuri is the smartest person in the MCU, it seems like a no-brainer that the two of them will team up to find a solution.
