Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the sequel to the 2018 original movie is set to be released in November this year, and Marvel fans are looking forward to seeing how the sequel will handle itself without the original movie’s main star Chadwick Boseman, who died in 2020 following a 4-year-long battle with colon cancer.

Marvel Studios decided to move forward with the sequel following Boseman’s death, and producer Kevin Feige confirmed that they will not look for another actor to take over the role of King T’Challa. Instead, the movie will follow the royal family of Wakanda that we have already met and it’s expected some already known character will take the mantle of Black Panther. Although Marvel Studios is keeping details under wraps, fans have theories that either T’Challa’s sister Shuri or his ally M’Baku could become the new Black Panther. Some theories are even mentioning the return of Killmonger, but Michael B. Jordan wasn’t confirmed to return for the sequel yet.

Ryan Coogler, writer and director of the first Black Panther movie also returned to helm the sequel, and he’s also developing a spin-off series for Disney+ about the people of Wakanda. Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, and Angela Bassett are all reprising their respective roles from the first movie, and Bassett recently commented that fans can expect that the movie will be better than the first one. She also opened up about filming the sequel without the main star.

“It’s going to be amazing. It’s going to top [the first] one. Can I say that? Marvel, can I say that? […] He [Chadwick Boseman] was such an example, such a leader, an amazing talent — we all know that. Big heart, great intellect, and we just hope to raise his standard. It will be amazing. Our director Ryan Coogler. Writer. Director. Perfect leader.” — Angela Bassett for The Hollywood Reporter

Dominique Thorne, who was cast to play Riri Williams/Ironheart in the MCU will make her debut in this upcoming movie before she gets her own spin-off series on Disney+. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is set to be released on November 11, 2022.

Lukas Abramovich is a freelance writer and photo and video editor based in Croatia. He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
