It is hard to think about Black Panther: Wakanda Forever without Chadwick Boseman coming up.
His death shook many because his illness was known by only a few.
Then there were questions about what his death would mean for subsequent movies.
These feelings seep into the movie. Only that the collective shock and sadness is felt by the
people in Wakanda over the death of their king, T’challa, the Black Panther.
Since his cousin, Killmonger destroyed the heart-shaped herb (key in the creation of the Black Panther)
in the first Black Panther, the nation has no protector.
T’challa’s mother, Queen Ramonda (Bassett) now leads the nation while trying to fend off countries from accessing vibranium
and worry about her daughter, Shuri (Wright) who has buried herself in her technology and refuses to confront her grief.
Just when we think Wakanda’s biggest threat are the countries trying to get their vibranium,
we meet Namor (Huerta) and his blue-skinned people. He is also known as K’uk’ulkan, the feathered serpent god.
His character is as ominous as his name as he tests Wakanda’s might. That’s the plot in a nutshell.
