Beginning next month, explore Wakanda from your living room. Panther Black: On February 1, “Wakanda Forever” will be available on Disney+.
After Chadwick Boseman’s King T’Challa dies, the people of Wakanda — particularly Queen Ramonda (Bassett), Princess Shuri (Wright), Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o), Okoye (Danai Gurira), and M’Baku (Winston Duke) — grieve and look for a way for their kingdom to survive in the hit Marvel sequel.
The cast of “Wakanda Forever” paid tribute to the late Boseman prior to the premiere. Boseman’s shocking death in 2020 cast an unavoidable shadow over the celebrations that night.
The movie did well at the box office, opening to $181 million domestically, which was second only to “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” as the year’s biggest opening.
In his review, Variety chief film critic wrote, “The heroes of ‘Wakanda Forever’ are fighting for their lives, their nation, and their fallen king, and the movie lets us touch the ruthlessness of their devotion.” As a Marvel storyteller, Ryan Coogler and they both fill the void. Although T’Challa has vanished, he is smiling somewhere.
Check out “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” will debut on Disney+ on February 1.
