What’s the Story Behind “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”?

Following King T’Challa’s passing, Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), Shuri (Letitia Wright), M’Baku (Winston Duke), Okoye (Danai Gurira), and the Dora Milaje (including Florence Kasumba), the battle to protect their nation from interfering world powers. As the Wakandans attempt to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must unite with the aid of War Dog Nakia.

The late Chadwick Boseman’s portrayal of King T’Challa is shown in the official trailer, which debuted on October 3. It depicts the technologically advanced African nation coming to terms with his passing.

Additionally, it depicts conflict with Atlantis and its ruler, Namor, who is portrayed by Tenoch Huerta, a newcomer to the series. Marvel Comics #1, published in 1939, featured Namor, the Sub-Mariner, for the very first time.

The feather serpent god K’uk’ulkan is what his people call him, not general or king warns Winston Duke’s M’Baku. “Killing him could lead to an endless war!”

The powerful character can be seen flying in the trailer thanks to his comic-accurate feathered ankles. Letitia Wright’s Shuri warns, “He’s coming for the surface world.”

The conflict between the two kingdoms is depicted occurring both on land and in Namor’s home territory, the sea. In the trailer, Riri Williams, played by Dominique Thorne, can be seen flying in her homemade Ironheart armor, which was modeled after Tony Stark’s well-known Iron Man outfits.

The trailer ends with a new Black Panther assuming the mantle: A form appears in the frame wearing the iconic vibranium suit, but the helmet conceals the face, so we are unable to identify the person.

At San Diego Comic-Con in July, the first official teaser for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” debuted. In “Wakanda Forever,” a new enemy will be presented for the Wakandans to defend their country against.
