One of the main stars ofLokihas revealed their dreamBlack Panthercrossover in theMCUin an exclusiveNew York Comic Coninterview.Lokiended after two seasonswith a pivotal development in which the titular hero is now responsible for empowering and maintaining free will in the multiverse, sitting in a space outside of time asa living Temporal Loom. The TVA, meanwhile, has shifted focus to nurture timelines instead of pruning them, with the once uncompromising B-15 assuming a leadership role within the organization.
Wunmi Mosaku, the actor that portrays B-15/Verity Willis inLoki, was asked by Screen Rant which character she would like B-15 to interact with in the MCU, to whichshe responded Leticia Wright’s Shuri/Black Panther. The good news for Mosaku is that B-15 is liable to interact with just about any character in the MCU given the nature of the TVA and its purview over the multiverse. Whether Marvel could fit an opportunity for Shuri and B-15 to interact inupcoming MCU projects, however, is another matter. The full quote can be read below.
SR: Is there anyone in the MCU that you would like B-15 to interact with?
Mosaku: Ooh, now I would love a scene with Leticia. I would love a scene with Black Panther. That would be great.
What Wunmi Mosaku’s MCU Comments Mean
A Shuri And B-15 Interaction Is Possible
Wunmi Mosaku’s B-15 was last seen in the MCU interacting with Deadpool and Wolverine in their self-titled MCU debut. While the TVA no longer visits timelines through their TemPads to prune them,they are evidently still free to visit whichever timelines they please whenever they please, which is how the TVA apprehended Deadpool in the first place.Deadpool & Wolverinewasthe first MCU moviethat the TVA appeared in afterLokiseason 2, setting a precedent that may be repeated down the line inBlack Panther 3.
Black Panther 3is yet to be confirmed.
Still,whetherBlack Panther 3happenswithin the Multiverse Saga remains to be seen, let alone if it will center around the multiversal themes that necessitate the TVA’s involvement. It is more likely thatB-15 and Shuri might share an interaction in one of the two upcoming Avengers movies, which will likely bring an end to the Multiverse Saga with the involvement of the TVA and perhaps Loki himself. The current Black Panther’s vast intelligence might be put to good use alongside the TVA as they navigate whatever nefarious plans Robert Downey Jr’s Doctor Doom has enacted on the multiverse.
Our Take On Wunmi Mosaku’s MCU Future Hopes
Whether Her Crossover Dreams Come True Depends On The Narrative
It is still too soon to estimate just how much interaction B-15 will have with the individual superheroes of the MCU. Still, her official position at the head of the TVA makes her the most likely candidate to weigh in on the inevitable multiversal calamity that is about to befall Earth-616. ShouldAvengers: DoomsdayandAvengers: Secret Warsfollow a similar structure toAvengers: Infinity WarandAvengers: Endgame, thenwe will likely see several characters interacting that had no recourse to do so in their individual MCU outings.
Avengers: Secret Wars: Release Date, Plot Details & Everything We Know
The culmination of phases 4, 5, and 6 of the MCU will be in Avengers: Secret Wars. Here’s everything to know about the sixth Avengers movie.
With B-15 and Shuri being fan favorites, seeing the two interact in this capacity would be doubtlessly entertaining. While B-15 is more overtly virtuous these days, her morally shady past actions as a hunter responsible for the pruning of entire timelines inLokibring a compelling nuance to her character. This is something she shares with Shuri as the new Black Panther launched a vengeful war against the Talokanil and nearly allowed her rage to overcome her in her fight with Namor. Whatever happens, however,it would have to neatly fit the narrative that Marvel intends to spin.
