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.
Angela Bassett was phenomenal. There was a lot of good in the movie. It’s a shame they seemed to try to differentiate themselves so hard from Aquaman because the dark wasn’t very cinematic.
Overall I thought it was a very mediocre post-Endgame movie with fun moments like The Marvels and Captain America: BNW. There are much worse and much better movies post-Endgame.
Her speech to Okoye is so powerful.
Okoye just wants to help but she points out the betrayal from the first film and how she ignored her advice causing Shuri to be captured. She’s 100% right but it hurts so much, both of them.
