Korean Netizen’s Sexy Fanart Of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” Ship Shuri And Namor Is Going Viral
Spoiler Alert
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is the world’s latest blockbuster, including South Korea.
The 2022 American superhero film from Marvel Studios is the sequel to the 2018 film Black Panther. Director Ryan Coogler returned to deliver an emotional story about the Wakanda leaders fighting to protect their nation after King T’Challa’s death.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever received positive reviews and “has grossed over $737 million worldwide, becoming the seventh-highest-grossing film of 2022,” according to Wikipedia. Variety reported that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever also topped South Korean box offices, “with a dominant 80% market share worth $6.53 million over the weekend. In its first five days on release the film amassed $8.87 million.”
‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ leaped to the top spot at the South Korean box office, with a dominant 80% market share worth $6.53 million over the weekend. In its first five days on release the film amassed $8.87 million.
The total was achieved on 2,538 screens, according to data from Kobis, the theatrical tracking service operated by the Korean Film Council (Kofic).
The superhero title easily brushed aside last week’s chart topper ‘Confession,’ relegating it to $642,000 and a distant second place. After three weeks on release ‘Confession’ has accumulated $5.19 million, a total ‘Black Panther’ passed in four days.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever introduced us to the Namor (also known as the Sub-Mariner, the Feathered Serpent God, and K’uk’ulkan), portrayed by Tenoch Huerta. He is the half-human, half-merman ruler of the underwater kingdom Talokan (the MCU equivalent of Atlantis).
While Namor was technically the film’s antagonist, many viewers detected some chemistry and sexual tension between him and our new Black Panther, Shuri (Letitia Wright). It was totally giving Enemies to Lovers.
Was it just me or was the chemistry between Namor and Shuri off the charts #WakandaForever pic.twitter.com/5t6mPnmMjl

@haileyychanel LIKE MAAAMMM HE IS FINEEE #blackpanther #wakandaforever #shuri #kukulkan #21savage #trending #marvel
Apparently, explicitly “romantic” scenes between Namor and Shuri were filmed and even tested with audiences. Unfortunately, for the shippers, they were ultimately cut.
@simplysimone OUR THEORIES HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED #namorandshuri #wakandaforever #aguapapi
Since we didn’t officially get the relationship, fans are making it headcanon. Naturally, Namor and Shuri have inspired some to write fanfiction and draw fanart depicting a romantic relationship.
@toasted_braincells I didn’t expect it so soon but I’m all for it- #namorandshuri #wakandaforever #shuri #namor #ao3
Considering how popular Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is in South Korea, it should be no surprise that some of the best fanart for the film has come from a Korean netizen.
