“Wakanda Forever” continues the epic saga of Wakanda, delving deeper into its rich culture, struggles, and ongoing legacy after the passing of King T’Challa. Following the events of “Black Panther,” the nation faces new threats that challenge its sovereignty and expose it to the outside world, forcing its leaders to navigate complex political landscapes and internal conflicts.

The film opens with the aftermath of T’Challa’s death, as Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett) strives to unite the kingdom and honor her son’s legacy while dealing with the powerful forces that aim to exploit Wakanda’s vibranium resources. As tensions rise, a new antagonist emerges from the underwater city of Talokan, led by Namor (Tenoch Huerta), who harbors ambitions of dominance and seeks to impose his will on the surface world. Shuri (Letitia Wright), T’Challa’s sister, is central to the narrative as she grapples with her grief and embarks on a journey of self-discovery. She must learn to embrace her role as a leader and protector of Wakanda. To unite her people against common threats, Shuri becomes the new Black Panther, showcasing her resilience and ingenuity. The film explores themes of loss, legacy, and the strength of community, culminating in a climactic confrontation that tests the alliances and values of Wakanda.
