SPOILERS for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, What If…? Season 3, and any MCU TV/Film released up to June 2025.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was first released in late 2022.
The series Ironheart, featuring Riri Williams who first debuted in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, releases on June 24, 2025.
With the exception of What If…? S03E05 “What If… the Emergence Destroyed the Earth?”, we haven’t seen Riri Williams in ~2.5 years.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is also just a great film.
For me, it did not live up to the first one. It did not help that the actress playing science geek shuri went full anti-vaxx during covid.
Story was meh, some interesting plot points but no connection to the MCU. One of the weaker marvel films, like Thor II or Iron Man 3
