Here is the New Black Panther - BASHENGA

Do you remember the opening scene of Black Panther 1? It was telling the story of how Vibranium, the strongest metal on earth, had come to the planet, and people from 5 tribes fought over this precious material, and showing how a shaman named Bashenga received a vision from a panther, became the first black panther, united all tribes, and finished the war.
After that, we saw T'Challa's story as a Black Panther of Wakanda. And in the second film, because of the actor Chadwick Boseman's tragic death, we saw Shuri as the new black panther. However, some fans weren't quite happy with this replacement. And recently, an artist named Shaun Harrison, shared the concept arts of the Bashenga, aka the first black panther. And it completely blew up on the internet.
Shaun made them with the AI image generator called Midjourney. It's a tool that lets you describe anything you want, and in a matter of seconds, it generates a number of unique images based on this text.
Shaun Harrison shared the 5 tribes of Wakanda, some shots from the ancient Wakanda, its people, and Bashenga character as the actor John Boyega.
Fans absolutely loved these concept arts, and started to tag Ryan Coogler, the director of Black Panther movies, and ask for an original Disney+ series for Bashenga.
It's cool, but do we really need to see this story? Well, there's been 2 movies in black panther, but we didn't know anything about Wakanda's history other than a meteor filled with vibranium striked this place, and it became the richest nation in the world. It can be nice to see how they built this kingdom, but at this point, I don't think they should tell this story yet. Marvel is trying to build the ground for the Kang Dynasty and Secret War movies until 2026. Coming up with ancient Wakanda's story would distract the story from where it's going right now. Maybe after Secret Wars, they can do that.
