Although the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is somewhat bittersweet in a world without Chadwick Boseman, audiences are clearly ready to be thrust back into the world of Wakanda. The much anticipated Black Panther sequel has already taken in $28 million in Thursday night preview screenings and is looking to be a big opening for Marvel Studios.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever finds Queen Ramonda, Shuri, M’Baku, Okoye, and the Dora Milaje fighting to protect their nation from intervening world powers in the wake of King T’Challa’s death. When Namor, king of a hidden undersea nation, alerts them to a global threat and his disturbing plan to thwart it, the Wakandans band together with the help of War Dog Nakia and Evertt Ross and forge a new path for the kingdom of Wakanda. The film stars Letitia Wright as Shuri, Angela Bassett as Queen Ramonda, Tenoch Huerta as Namor, Lupita Nyong’o as Nakia, Danai Gurira as Okoye, Winston Duke as M’Baku, Michaela Coel as Aneka, Florence Kasumba as Ayo, Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams, Mabel Adena as Namora, Alex Livinalli as Attuma, and Martin Freeman as Everett Ross.
Our own JimmyO reviewed Black Panther: Wakanda Forever earlier this week and absolutely loved it. In fact, he called it “one of my favorite films in the MCU” and “undoubtedly one of my favorite films this year” in his review. “Instead of following the same obvious pattern, the filmmakers welcomed the challenge with sincerity and inspiration,” JimmyO wrote. “Wakanda is more than just a great sequel; it is one of the most heartfelt and moving tributes to an actor I’ve had the pleasure to witness. Emotionally moving, yet the adventure and heart are entirely on display. Ryan Coogler has crafted an exceptional and exciting new chapter for Marvel, so much so that I cannot wait to see where their story takes us for the next installment.” You can check out the rest of JimmyO’s review right here.
