Black Panther 2: 6 villains perfect for the sequel
By Mark Lynch
Black Panther 2 is officially on the horizon, and these characters would make for some great villains.
The weekend has been full of Marvel Studios announcements. First, there was huge Disney Plus news, which revealed that we’re getting three new shows with highly anticipated Marvel Comics characters in Moon Knight, She-Hulk, and Ms. Marvel. Then, there was also news that Black Knight will be part of The Eternals movies. But maybe the biggest announcement revolved around Black Panther 2. We all knew it was coming, but now we have a date: May 6th, 2022.
The first Black Panther was a hit before the movie even debuted as it broke ticket presale records, with many finding it hard to get tickets for the weekend that the film opened. Unless you pre-ordered them, you’d have to wait until after the first few days.
Thus, it goes without saying that Black Panther 2 has created the same kind of anticipation. With that in mind, don’t be shocked if it breaks the presales record again.
While there are a number of factors that will make fans eager to see the sequel, one of the things that will undoubtedly draw them in is the antagonist.
Killmonger is looked at as one of the greatest villains in comic book history. Everything, from his swagger to his fighting skills, was incredible. Just like Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight, Michael B. Jordan made such a lasting impression that all eyes will be carefully watching the next antagonist in the hopes that he or she lives up to their predecessor.
That said, it’s not impossible for them to be as good (if not better) than Killmonger, especially considering the possible villains that could be used.
