Marvel’s MCU canon book Wakanda Files based on Shuri’s research reveals the universe’s long-hidden secrets and Tony Stark is involved!
Ever wondered how much Tony Stark really knew about the effects of the ‘snap’ or what’s Captain America’s daily calorie intake is? Or where the real Mandarin or Red skull is? Well, most of these answers and more can be now found in Wakandan Princess Shuri’s account. Marvel has released a new book ‘Wakanda Files’ which is a compilation of Shuri’s research. The new book is official MCU canon and outlines all the technological advancement made in the universe dating back to 1940s’ with Captain America’s Super Soldier program.
Of HYDRA, Time Hiest, Mutants And Much More
Wakanda (FOREVER!) is the most advanced nation in the MCU and its princess Shuri (Letitia Wright) is the brightest mind (she put Banner and Stark to shame in the past!) She describes how she is trying To recreate Black Panther’s heart-shaped herb after Killmonger destroyed it in the origin movie. It is unclear how much the book weighs into the future MCU stories but it certainly showcases last 21 movies in a new light.
Nonetheless, in parts the Wakanda Files suggests where the MCU is headed.
Written by Agents of SHIELD fame Troy Benjamin, the book doesn’t shy away from exploring the secret plots and subplots. The book reveals how HYDRA turned Bucky Barnes into Winter Soldier. Shuri’s notes have a scientific base as she fielded notes, transcripts of voice recordings, and literal texts from past 21 MCU movies.
Further in her notes about HYDRA’s work she finds the real reason why the organization was working in Sokovia. Shuri discovers,
Hydra found some genetic oddities among the inhabitants of the country, which made them ideal candidates for experiments with the Mind Stone.
This is both a call back to Ultron’s conversation with the twins where he says, “I wondered why only you two survived?” And the ‘genetic oddities’ certainly points in the direction of Mutants.

Deciphering The Infinity Saga
In Wakanda Files Shuri goes into great details about each infinity stone – starting with Tesseract, the Mind Stone and all the details that lead the Avengers to the Infinity battle. A great deal of this part is filled with details about Bruce Banner. One specific detail tells us Tony Stark knew about the branching realities when stones will be used.

About the findings of his time-space GPS made upon David Deutsch’s model of Quantum mechanics, Tony writes to Banner
Altering events of the past could never affect the continuous loop. Though, it could create tangential split-timelines. Let’s not worry about that for the time being, right? One reality at a time. For all our sanity.
Further in the book Tony casually mentions that he was flirting around with time travel even before Thanos arrived. This cements fans theories about Tony Stark knowing more about the time travel and may even find a way back in the MCU when the time is right.
Shuri’s Wakanda Files are a gift from the MCU to hardcore fans in the time of content draught. And about Captain America’s calorie intake – he can burn 8000 calories a day simply doing nothing so… you do the math!
