Black Panther: Wakanda Forever had its world premiere at the Dolby Theatre in the ever-famous neighborhood of Hollywood just two days ago on October 26. The release of the movie has been much awaited, with fans gearing up for its turn to watch Wakanda Forever in the coming date of November 11, next month.
A sequel to Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther, Wakanda Forever is also directed by him and will be the 30th movie entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, there have been questions surrounding whether or not the sequel will be able to live up to the hype, or even have the same cultural impact as its predecessor. Director Coogler might have just spoiled that for us!
Ryan Coogler Teases Fans About Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Ryan Coogler has no doubt cemented himself into Marvel history as a director who has done the extraordinary by directing a movie, Black Panther, that has turned out to be an important piece of media for the Black community.
The movie was applauded by many fans and critics alike, who celebrated the movie for being a gateway for other ‘Black-centred’ projects to find their way into the mainstream.
At the premiere of Black Panther, Wakanda Forever, Coogler decided to give a small interview at the red carpet premiere in Hollywood. During the short talk, the 36-year-old director shared some exciting words about the appearance of certain characters-
“I’m excited for folks to see the performance. Both the actors that they know and they’re familiar with but we also have so many new actors that are in the film. From Dominique Thorne to Tenoch Huerta, Alex Livinalli and a few other folks like some surprises that people will see when the film starts”
There have been rumors going around the MCU community that the iconic Marvel villain Doctor Doom might be making his long-awaited debut in the MCU in Wakanda Forever, specifically in its post-credits scene.
That rumor might actually come to life if we emphasize Coogler’s words at the premiere regarding “surprises” that the movie will deliver; fingers crossed!
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Cast Pays Tribute To Chadwick Boseman
The Black Panther: Wakanda Forever cast looked glamourous and glitzy at the premiere in Hollywood. Everyone served their looks and director Ryan Coogler made sure that he dressed up for the occasion too!
But it’s great to know that the cast of the movie hasn’t forgotten the late actor of T’Challa, Chadwick Boseman, who played the titular character in the first movie. In what can be seen as a beautiful tribute to the late actor, the cast made sure his name was remembered in their own way.
Letitia Wright, who plays Princess Shuri in the movie honored her on-screen brother by wearing the black pantsuit with a design on the suit’s shoulder, which was pretty similar to what Boseman wore to the 2018 premiere of Black Panther.
Janeshia Adams-Ginyard, who is part of the Dora Milaje in the movie, showed up to the big day covered in body paint with an illustration of the Marshall star on her back-
Director Ryan Coogler, who worked with Boseman in the first Black Panther movie, wore a chain pendant that had the late actor’s picture on it.
The tributes were beautiful, and we’ll forever remember Chadwick Boseman as one of the best actors in the MCU who led the iconic Black Panther movie.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will have its theatrical release on November 11, 2022, in the United States.
