How Iron Man And Hulk's Relationship Played A Key Role In One Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Scene Coming Together

As a gamer with a rich background of Marvel Cinematic Universe adventures under my belt, it’s no secret that the “Science Bros” dynamic between Tony Stark and Bruce Banner has been one of the most captivating relationships in the MCU. The way their friendship and shared love for science have shaped the universe is nothing short of legendary.


The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has been a rich tapestry of interconnected storylines and character dynamics since its inception. It continues this tradition today as Disney consistently releases their slate of upcoming Marvel movies and shows on streaming with a Disney+ subscription. One of the most beloved friendships in the MCU is that between Tony Stark aka Iron Man, and Bruce Banner, the Hulk. This dynamic duo, known for their shared love of science and technology, was coined by many fans as “Science Bros” and delivered some of the most memorable scenes in the Avengers series. Surprisingly, according to the Wakanda Forever producer Nate Moore, this unique relationship was pivotal in shaping a key scene in the box-office-crushing Black Panther 2.

In a recent conversation with Geeks of Color, Wakanda Forever producer Nate Moore talked about the making of the movie and the major hurdles the team encountered. One of the toughest problems was revising the film after the sad demise of Chadwick Boseman, who played T’Challa, the Black Panther. Moore highlighted that the film needed to uphold Boseman’s legacy while forging a fresh path for its narrative. One method they used was by concentrating on two key female characters in the film, Shuri and Riri Williams.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’d say I drew inspiration for the intense banter between Shuri and Riri from the classic dynamic we see between Tony Stark and Bruce Banner – two geniuses with very different personalities, yet bound by their shared intelligence and mutual respect.

It’s intriguing how the dynamic between those two scientifically-inclined characters, Tony Stark and Bruce Banner (from Age of Ultron), is well-known through a popular meme. Watching these two women, who share the same passion for science, collaborate and solve problems together was an enjoyable twist that we found entertaining.

It’s amazing, isn’t it? The influence of “Science Bros” continues in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) through two of its brightest newcomers, Shuri and Riri. In the movie “Wakanda Forever“, these young prodigies join forces, echoing the relationship between Stark and Banner. Their mutual passion for science and technology forms a captivating duo that enriches the MCU by showcasing how it continually grows by incorporating fresh characters who embody the essence of invention and cooperation.

It seems that Letitia Wright, who plays Shuri in the Black Panther series, has dropped a hint about a potential third movie, implying a possible release sooner rather than later. I’m excited at the prospect of more “Science Sister” interactions between Shuri and Riri. Although there’s no confirmed release date for Black Panther 3 yet, Riri has a busy schedule in 2025, with her solo mini-series Ironheart scheduled to debut on September 23 of next year. It’s possible we might catch a glimpse of Shuri in an unexpected cameo. Let’s keep our fingers crossed! However, based on the intriguing sneak peeks shown at D23, it looks like we’ll still get a dose of science-related adventures, even if the duo doesn’t join forces this time around.

As Marvel Cinematic Universe expands, it’s clear how masterful they are at creating captivating character relationships, like the “Science Bros.” We can’t wait to see if this dynamic continues when the Ironheart cast debuts in 2025. In the meantime, keep an eye on the 2024 TV lineup for some fantastic shows that are either already airing or set to premiere soon.
