Wakanda Forever receives high ratings on Rotten Tomatoes

Wakanda Forever, the much-awaited sequel to the 2018 blockbuster Black Panther, has already made waves as it received high ratings on the popular review aggregator website, Rotten Tomatoes.

The movie was rated 96% fresh as of January 20, 2022, based on 51 reviews. This early response has put the upcoming Marvel movie in an elite circle of highly acclaimed superhero cinema.

Critics who got the chance to attend early screenings praised Wakanda Forever for its compelling storytelling and stunning visuals, claiming that it exceeded their expectations as a Marvel movie. Fans are sure to be excited for their next trip to Wakanda.

The sequel continues the storyline of the fictional African country that was introduced in the first movie. The movie features a new cast and a new storyline, as it tells the tale of how Wakanda copes after the death of their king, T’Challa.

The new characters like the superheroine Shuri, played by Letitia Wright, who is also the sister of T’Challa in the movie, are expected to play a significant role in the sequel. Director Ryan Coogler has assured audiences that the original team behind Black Panther consulted with African experts to ensure the movie’s authenticity.

The first Black Panther movie, released in 2018, grossed over $1.3 billion worldwide and gained massive popularity among the audience. It was also a breakthrough moment for diversity representation in Hollywood, being the first superhero film featuring a predominantly black cast.

However, an untimely tragedy struck the Black Panther franchise when the lead actor Chadwick Boseman, who played the titular character T’Challa, passed away in 2020 due to colon cancer. The tragic loss left fans devastated and left Wakanda Forever’s production team unsure if they will proceed with the movie.

Despite the daunting challenge, the production team pushed through with the sequel, promising to honor Boseman’s legacy and his iconic performance.

As the release date inches closer, the buzz around Wakanda Forever grows louder. Fans hope that the sequel will surpass the success of its predecessor and elevate the representation of diversity in the superhero genre.

The film is set to release in theaters on November 10, 2022. But one thing is for sure: Wakanda Forever and its cast are already winning in the eyes of critics, and we can’t wait for the rest of the world to see it.]
