Here ’s what Shuri ( Letitia Wright ) could front like as theMarvel Cinematic Universe ’s interlingual rendition of Ironheart . Last class , Tony Stark ( Robert Downey Jr. ) finish his superhero journey through Joe and Anthony Russo’sAvengers : Endgame . The genius , billionaire sacrificed himself for the greater good , exert the power of all six Infinity Stones that ended up kill Thanos ( Josh Brolin ) and his minion . It was a bittersweet demise and the franchise will undoubtedly be dissimilar without him .

As Marvel Studios moves on from the events of the Infinity Saga , the transition also means inaugurate a new craw of superhero leaders who can tread on the mantle and replace the original six Avengers include Stark . Intriguingly , all   other five characters have their successors already pose - up :   Steve Rogers ( Chris Evans ) has officially passed the shield and the Captain America mantle to Sam Wilson ( Anthony Mackie ) ; Jane Foster ( Natalie Portman ) will be the next Thor ; Yelena Belova ( Florence Pugh ) could become the next Black Widow ; and finally , She - Hulk and Kate Bishop are set to debut , taking over the Hulk ( Mark Ruffalo ) and Hawkeye ’s ( Jeremy Renner ) spots in the universe . That leavesIron Man without any clear replenishment .

New fan - created prowess fromBossLogic , however , swim the estimation of Shuri potentially becoming Ironheart . Given Riri Williams ' connection to Stark in the risible books , this would in effect have the princess of Wakanda being the replacement for   Iron Man in the MCU . Check it out below :

For the uninitiate , Ironheart was created   by   Brian Michael Bendis in 2015 ; name Riri Williams a 15 - twelvemonth - onetime whiz minor who design her own rendering of the Iron Man case in the comic strip , she finally assume the superhero role of Ironheart while Iron Man   was in comatose afterCivil War II . Riri and Stark have a caboodle of things in vernacular — they ’re both smart and innovative . While there ’s no official word that Marvel Studios is look to bring the character in the MCU anytime soon , it ’s worth noting that   anIronheart movie scriptby Jada Rodriguez come out on the Black List back in 2018 give the public Bob Hope that her introduction may not be too far . That theory invigorate this fan - graphics .

As cool looking as Shuri is in this representative , chances of this coming to realisation is very slim to none . Shuri is her own character , and while she ’s around the same age and is cunning as Riri , Marvel Studios and the public would want to see her become her own character in theMarvel Cinematic Universe . The ill-timed and heartbreaking passing of Chadwick Bosemanfurther make this improbable with Shuri more in all likelihood playing a bigger persona in Ryan Coogler ’s upcomingBlack Panther 2 . In any caseful , there ’s really no rush in substitute Iron Man in the franchise . Marvel Studios has a wealth of available grapheme to act with ; they can get by without a Tony Stark coeval for a while .
