The upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will expand upon the world introduced in Black Panther. While fans are excited to see the additions to Wakanda in the MCU’s lore, it looks like we could be getting some other interesting additions as well. For example, we already know the film will be setting the stage for the upcoming Disney Plus series Ironheart and its titular character. But according to some reports, the film will also be introducing the MCU’s very own Doctor Doom. And, to that extent, a piece of alleged concept art featuring Doctor Doom in his reported Black Panther 2 appearance has surfaced online.
Of course, as mentioned above, the character is not yet confirmed to be in the film. This means the image should be taken with a grain of salt. But considering that a variant of Reed Richards was already introduced in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and there is a Fantastic Four movie on the way, it makes sense they’d want to keep up the momentum.
And what better way than to introduce Doctor Doom?
Here’s the image:
Another Twitter user shared the alleged Doctor Doom concept art and labeled it as a “Full Supposed Pre-Vis Shot” without specifying whether or not it was from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

This is exactly what happened last year with that leaked pre vis shot for the Wanda vs Professor X in multiverse of madness! I wouldn’t be suprised if this is definitely a version of a final scene we will see in BP2

Hopefully we’ll have more details soon. Although, it may be more likely that this could be kept secret up until Wakanda Forever is released. As such, fans can stay tuned to ScreenGeek for updates as we have them.
Ryan Coogler directed Black Panther 2 from a screenplay he co-wrote with Joe Robert Cole.
The cast we can currently expect for the new MCU film includes Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, Martin Freeman, Angela Bassett, Michaela Coel, and Tenoch Huerta.
Fans will be able to see the highly-anticipated Black Panther sequel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, later this year on November 11, 2022.
