Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Boasts Family-friendly PG-13 Rating

The highly anticipated film, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, has just been given a family-friendly PG-13 rating. This news is sure to excite fans of the first movie, which was rated PG-13 as well. The sequel promises to be just as thrilling and action-packed, while still being suitable for a wider audience.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, again directed by Ryan Coogler, will follow the kingdom of Wakanda in the aftermath of T’Challa’s death, and explore deeper into the characters that were introduced in the first film. Marvel has kept tight-lipped about the story, but it is expected to be a fitting tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman, who played T’Challa in the first movie.

The PG-13 rating was given by the Motion Picture Association, stating the film’s violent content was mild, and did not warrant an R rating. The decision was reportedly based on the quality and presentation of the violence, which is essential to the narrative, and not gratuitous or gory.

This family-friendly rating should be good news for parents looking to introduce their children to the Black Panther franchise. The first movie, directed by Coogler, was a huge success for its critical acclaim as well as its influential role in mainstream representation of black culture. It was at once an origin story and an action-packed, rollicking adventure.

The first Black Panther film revealed Wakanda – a fictional country that’s secretly technologically advanced, known only to its residents – which was brought to life through breathtaking, immersive design and special effects. The film also introduced a cast of incredible characters, including Okoye, Nakia, Shuri, and M’Baku, all of whom became fan favorites.

While Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is going to be different, with an absence of certain key characters, it promises to be a worthy successor nonetheless. Fans of the first film can look forward to seeing their beloved Wakanda again, and maybe discover new characters that they will love along the way.

In conclusion, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever being rated PG-13 is excellent news for fans of the first movie, and for potential new fans that missed out on the first film’s theatrical run. It also means a proper farewell to a masterful actor and an inspiring character, for which Boseman still holds a special place in the hearts of millions. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will release in theaters on November 10th, 2022.]
