Report: 'Black Panther' Sequel to Include Queer Love Story

Wakanda forever!

Queer storyline rumors and Marvel movies go together like, well, superheroes and capes. Time and time again we’ve heard talk that this film is going to finally be the queer one. While the studio has without question taken strides in that direction — The Eternals, set to hit theaters November 5, features a prominent gay character — you can’t blame LGBTQ+ fans for being a little skeptical when the latest round of rumors hits. (The less said about the whole Avengers: Endgame bait and switch, the better.) But here we are again, this time with the much anticipated Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in production, and along comes a new queer rumor that we can’t help but want to believe is true.

According to insider Murphy’s Multiverse (perInverse), the Black Panther sequel will include a lesbian romance as part of its story. Michaela Coel (I May Destroy You) joined the cast back in July in an undisclosed role, and some speculated she could be taking the mantle of Storm, T’Challa’s wife in the comics. However, it’s now rumored that Coel has been cast in the role of Aneka, who fans of the comics will recognize as the leader of the Dora Milaje, the all-female king's guard. In the comics, Aneka is in a same-sex romance with another member of the Dora Milaje named Ayo.

The character Ayo, played by Florence Kasumba, not only appeared in the first Black Panther film but was featured prominently in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier series, having befriended Bucky Barnes while he was living in Wakanda. She was also the one to confront Barnes and stake her claim to Baron Zemo after he helped the villain escape from prison. If there’s been one takeaway from those interactions, it’s that the audience could do with a whole lot more of Ayo. If these rumors prove true, fans will be getting their wish and then some.

While Marvel Studios hasn’t commented on these rumors, its president, Kevin Feige, has made it clear that he’s committed to greater diversity in Marvel’s storytelling in Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Audiences got a taste of that in the Disney+ Loki series, which confirmed that the titular star is both gender fluid and bisexual. However, the series didn’t give Loki a queer love story — yet. That being said, if these latest leaks prove true it will be a major step in the right direction. That would be, well, just super.

Bucks = broken.

get ready to hear the cries, because it was again not enough like it always is.

 

[Dagobert]

I appreciate how Disney, if they actually are putting queershit in their movie in the first place, are clearly doing it in the Black Panther movie because China hates black people and it wouldn't sell in China already.

 

[Male Idiot]

So basically a female remake of Gayniggers from Outer Space?

 

[round robin]

Blacks are the most homophobic demographic in America outside of maybe Muslims, they will absolutely hate this shit.

*clack clack clack*

Don't mind me, just trying to make my Funko Pops scissor.

*clack clack clack*

 

[Ketamine Kat]

Ah yes, it's been five minutes since they flexed their "diversity" and "inclusivity" after all.

Imagine having characters that are literally just cardboard cutouts with the word "QUEER" on it. "MUH REPRESENTATION!"

With every woke release, their target audience gets smaller, and the blue checkmarks cope/sneed/dilate harder.

 

[Friendly Mudcrab]

Blacks will be angry that there is gay shit and retards will be angry there isn't enough gay shit. Good decision.

 

[Rei is shit]

Black Panther will be like Avatar - a movie no one watches or cares about 10 years from now.

 

[Unpaid Emotional Labourer]

Lol they‘re just gonna be mad that Okoye isn’t the one scissoring Ayo, but they have better things planned for Danai Gurira than that.

 

[Hammerstein]

Congratulations on being only 50 years too late, Disney.

 

[Mealy Mouth Spittle]

Guess they don't have the guts to put some man on man action in a movie aimed at black folks. Black dudes probably won't care about 2 women kissing (and black women are used to losing a brother to a white chick on screen -- and their feelings don't really count anyway), but they would probably freak out if it were 2 men.

So brave, Disney. Way to really push the envelope there.

 

[Badungus Kabungus]

So it's Buck Breaking, but with butch lesbians?

 

[Fellen]

How long until that isn't enough and the call for no men in a movie, or that all men are the baddies because all men are evil?

Make the new black Panther a flamboyant gay native American twink.

I'm serious. That would be the funniest fucking thing ever and the black meltdown would be the stuff of legends.

 

[Milwaukee Macho Man]

If there was one thing I learned about the urban demographic in college, it was that they absolutely did not like anything with even a hint of faggotry.

It doesn't matter though when Disney holds a monopoly and can just say anything is a success though.

 

[Product Placement]

Michaela Coel is the type of ugly that is hard to look at.
