David McK (3425 KP) rated Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) in Movies

Jan 8, 2023

Wakanda Forever!

In late 2020 the actor Chadwick Boseman died, after a long - and private - battle with cancer, aged 43.

He was the original Black Panther.

That meant there was a lot of talk at the time about what Marvel was going to do: re-cast, or not?

The answer was 'not', with a pre-credits sequence in this movie dealing with his (and the characters off-screen) passing, before the usual Marvel logo montage concentrates solely on him.

His on-screen sister Shuri then takes the lead for the rest of this movie, ably supported by on-screen mum Angela Bassett, as the nation of Wakanda struggles to accept his passing and as the rest of the world start looking for their own supplies of Vibranium, encroaching on a secret underwater civilization who then also approach Wakanda with a threat couched as an offer of cooperation.

The loss of T'Challa is felt throughout the movie, with Shuri railing against his passing and unable to accept what has happened for the most part of it, right up until the (somewhat moving) very final scenes of the film.
