Wakanda comes under attack in new Black Panther 2 clip

In just under two weeks, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will take the MCU into new territory while also paying tribute to both Chadwick Boseman and his character, T’Challa. Although the heroes of Wakanda are mourning their king, they won’t have time to wallow in their grief. That’s because their nation is getting dragged into war with Talokan, an underwater kingdom led by Namor, the Sub-Mariner (Tenoch Huerta). And as you can see in the following preview scene, when Talokan attacks, they do so with overwhelming force.

There are some indications that the Talokans have a weapon that can affect the minds of the Wakandans. Note that one of the young Wakandan men has to be pulled away from walking into the water as if he is in a trance, while the Dora Milaje covered their ears before heading into battle. With the Wakandan capital largely underwater, M’Baku (Winston Duke) is the primary defender on the ground. Meanwhile, Shuri (Letitia Wright) is attacking the Talokans from above in a jet of her own design.

Our money is still on Shuri for the new Black Panther, but Marvel has yet to reveal which of the film’s female heroes will pick up the mantle that was previously held by T’Challa. As T’Challa’s sister, Shuri still seems like the natural choice, and it’s a role she assumed in the comics as well.

Superhero movies were never the same after 2018. That's due to the phenomenal critical and commercial success of Ryan Coogler's Black Panther. No spandex movie before it had quite married the fantastical with social commentary like that movie. And no big-budget comic book movie ever featured a cast with predominantly Black actors as its heroes and villains (sorry, Steel and The Meteor Man).

It was always going to be hard for a sequel to measure up, but things got even more complicated, and tragic, with star Chadwick Boseman's passing in 2020. The beauty of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is that it's not just a straightforward sequel or a routine action picture. It's a moving testament to Boseman's impact, and what Black Panther meant to the greater culture. The hit movie is set to debut on streaming services, but when and where can one watch it?

The Marvel Cinematic Universe seems to be giving just about every character in the comic book roster their own film or TV series these days, but there are still others who deserve the same treatment.
While the media landscape is oversaturated with superhero projects, there are still many Marvel characters whose stories and histories are worth the time and money typically spent on such a project. So before superhero fatigue completely kicks in, these characters should get their own film or TV show in the MCU.
