Without saying too much, Marvel Studios has unveiled the first synopsis for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which gives us an idea of what the sequel will explore. Marvel revealed plenty of information about its upcoming MCU Phase 4 roster earlier this week, including the official title for Black Panther 2 , along with release dates, new titles and more. As a result, the brief synopsis of the highly anticipated sequel kind of got lost in the flow of information.
Marvel Studio promises that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever “will continue to explore the incomparable world of Wakanda.” Marvel also continues to reiterate that the film will focus on the characters that surrounded T’Challa in the first film, giving “all the rich and varied characters introduced in the first film” more to do in the sequel. The sequel is written and directed by Ryan Coogler, who was behind Black Panther . MCU fans will be able to return to Wakanda when Black Panther 2 releases on July 8, 2022.
Admittedly, this is not much to do. Sadly, Chadwick Boseman passed away last year following a long battle with colon cancer. The actor had played T’Challa in the Marvel Cinematic Universe starting with Captain America: Civil War, leading to the first Black Panther. Boseman has also appeared in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. It has already been confirmed that the role will not be recast.

Black Panther, released in 2018, was set up as a guaranteed hit. The MCU was a proven entity at that point, and the character was set up perfectly in Civil War, which went on to become the biggest box office movie in the world in 2016. But it was hard to imagine how great he was going to be. success. . The film received near universal praise from critics upon its arrival, paving the way for a record-breaking box office run. In total, the film grossed $ 1.34 billion. It also won a nomination for Best Picture at the Oscars, a first for a superhero film.
While it remains to be seen who will take over, there are several options. The favorite appears to be T’Challa’s sister Shuri, played by Letitia Wright. Other options include Winston Duke’s M’Baku, Danai Gurira’s Okoye, and Lupita Nyong’o’s Nakia. Michael B. Jordan, however, has mostly ruled out a return as Erik Killmonger in the sequel.
