It is also believed that the plot of the sequel will determine who fits into the film and who doesn’t make it. Sope plays the role of Shaman, a spiritualist and Zuri’s (Forest Whitaker character) student.

In an interview with Ayiba Magazine, Sope also hinted that her character might be popping up for the sequel since her teacher, Zuri, is dead.

“My character in the film is the Shaman. I am a spiritual leader and sort of a conduit between both the supernatural world and the existing world. Zuri is the King’s spiritual advisor is my teacher, so essentially I am his protégé. There is an opportunity for my role to come back in Black Panther 2 based on the storyline, so fingers crossed,” she said.
