A nation in mourning has to decide what it still owes the rest of the world, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever builds an entire film around that question.

What is Black Panther: Wakanda Forever about?

Wakanda is grieving the loss of its king, and that grief becomes political the moment outside powers sense an opening to move on the country's resources. Queen Ramonda, Shuri, Okoye, and the Dora Milaje are left to hold the nation together while deciding how far they are willing to go to protect it. A new threat emerges from beneath the ocean, forcing Wakanda into a conflict it did not choose and did not want, one that tests loyalty, tradition, and what leadership looks like once the person who defined it is gone. The film moves between quiet scenes of a family and a country in mourning and large-scale confrontation, without letting either side of the story crowd out the other.

About the cast

Angela Bassett leads as Queen Ramonda opposite Letitia Wright's Shuri, with Danai Gurira, Lupita Nyong'o, Winston Duke, Dominique Thorne, and Tenoch Huerta filling out a large returning-and-new ensemble across the film's two-hour-forty-minute runtime.

Context & significance

Wakanda Forever is a 2022 American production directed by Ryan Coogler, made as a direct sequel within an ongoing franchise and shaped, on screen and off, by the real loss of the first film's lead actor. That circumstance shows up in how the story is told: the script leans into mourning as its organizing idea rather than working around it, which sets this entry apart from a typical action sequel. The film sits within the action, adventure, and science-fiction genres, and continues the franchise's use of Wakanda as a fictional but richly detailed setting.
