What We Know About ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’
So whats next?
We know Namor is the main threat in the Black Panther sequel.
They are the ones who must see TChallas mission through, even while they grieve his loss.
They must keep pushing for Wakanda to be a part of the larger world, to be its protector.
So when someone like Namor threatens the larger world, that means Wakanda must protect it against him.
From recent clips, Namor is in awe of Wakanda.
The water is clean and the air is clear.
That’s likely to have dire consequences for our heroes and for Wakanda.
So thats the situation Wakanda and its leaders are in forWakanda Forever.
Can they put Wakanda in the crosshairs without risking another breakdown of unity?
Will TChallas decision ultimately prove to be Wakandas undoing?
Black Panther: Wakanda Foreverreleases in theaters on November 11th.
