Black Panther Sequel Sets Release Date for Wakanda Forever

Marvel Studios has officially announced that the highly anticipated sequel to Black Panther, titled Wakanda Forever, will be released on July 8, 2022. Fans rejoiced at the news, as they have been eagerly awaiting the return of T’Challa and the world of Wakanda following the unexpected passing of actor Chadwick Boseman last year.

Marvel has not revealed any plot details for Wakanda Forever, but it is expected to explore the rich history and culture of Wakanda, and pay tribute to Boseman’s legacy. According to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, “We’re not going to have a CG Chadwick and we’re not recasting T’Challa. Ryan Coogler is working very hard right now on the script with all the respect and love and genius that he has, which gives us great comfort.”

Coogler, who directed the first Black Panther film, is set to return as director for Wakanda Forever. The film will also see the return of many of the original cast members, including Letitia Wright (Shuri), Lupita Nyong’o (Nakia), Winston Duke (M’Baku), and Angela Bassett (Ramonda).

The release date announcement comes after a year of speculation about the future of the Black Panther franchise. Following Boseman’s death, many fans wondered if the franchise would be able to continue without its star. Marvel assured fans that the franchise would continue, and it is clear that they are putting a lot of effort into honoring Boseman’s legacy.

The first Black Panther film was a cultural phenomenon, grossing over $1.3 billion worldwide and earning critical acclaim for its groundbreaking representation of Black superheroes. The film had a significant impact on both Marvel and superhero films more broadly, and it is clear that Wakanda and its characters have a special place in the hearts of fans.

As we countdown to the release of Wakanda Forever, the anticipation will only continue to build. Fans will undoubtedly be eager to see what Coogler and Marvel have in store for T’Challa and the world of Wakanda, and how they will honor the incredible legacy of Chadwick Boseman. With a release date set, the countdown to Wakanda Forever has officially begun.]
