Funko Reveals Closer Look at Exclusive Shuri POP!
She is set to be one of the main characters of the upcoming, and highly-anticipated, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, as Funko reveals a closer look at the exclusive Shuri POP! figure.
When the MCU’s Phase Four slate was first revealed, there were few projects that could boast the excitement and anticipation of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

Following up on the 2016 film was no easy task, as the original Black Panther is still, to this day, the only MCU film to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture; a feat that had been attempted by nearly every Marvel film since the MCU’s inception.
This sequel, however, wasn’t just filling in the massive shoes of its predecessor, it was also attempting to chart a course forward for a franchise that was forced to say goodbye to its most foundational piece, following the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman.

The film is now set to tell the story of a Wakandan nation in mourning, following the death of their king T’Challa, as they are also fighting against the forces of Talocan; an underwater nation of people protecting themselves from the surface world.
There is so much that the film is set to tackle an encounter, one character is certainly set to be the focus of the film, and of her very own collectible figurine, as Funko has unveiled the brand new Shuri POP!

Shuri is the younger sister to T’Challa and based on the promotional material that has been revealed for the project, she is likely to be one of the film’s main characters; being forced to follow in her brothers’ footsteps to likely become the new Black Panther.
The story of her grief will likely play a huge role in the film and seeing how she- and the entire nation of Wakanda- move forward will be a very interesting aspect of the film.
