Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) is a sequel to the groundbreaking 2018 film Black Panther. The story follows the aftermath of King T’Challa’s death, and how his family and the nation of Wakanda cope with the loss. Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), Shuri (Letitia Wright), M’Baku (Winston Duke), and Okoye (Danai Gurira) work together to protect their country from external threats while mourning the loss of their leader. The plot also introduces the character Namor (Tenoch Huerta), the ruler of the underwater kingdom of Talokan, who challenges Wakanda’s place in the world, setting the stage for a fierce confrontation.

The film explores themes of grief, legacy, and unity, with a strong focus on female empowerment and cultural identity. The loss of Chadwick Boseman, who portrayed T’Challa, is deeply felt throughout the movie, and his absence is honored with a moving tribute. Wakanda Forever is both a tribute to Boseman and a powerful continuation of the Black Panther legacy.
