I'd feel him yelling at me, like, 'What are you doing?' So you keep going." "It would be harder for me to stop," Coogler added. He was hired to play that role before anybody else was even thought of, before I was hired, before any of the actresses were hired." "He was somebody who was so about the collective. In the film’s final scene, she visits Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) in Haiti to perform a ritualistic beachside memorial to T’Challa by herself."I know Chad wouldn't have wanted us to stop," Coogler said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter last year. The third act sees her and new addition to the mix, American genius turned Wakandan ally Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) finding a way to reverse engineer the herb that Kilmonger laid waste to in the first film, with Shuri ultimately undergoing the ritual and coming out on the other side with the strength her late brother previously possessed. (Note: the following has info that is not news to anyone who has seen the second trailer, but if you’ve miraculously avoided all teasers, be warned that it includes what will be a spoiler to you.)Īs indicated in the trailer, by Wakanda Forever’s end, Shuri is indeed the new Black Panther. Yet in Coogler’s hands it plays more as an epilogue than a hamfisted teaser for a loosely-connected upcoming Marvel blockbuster. It’s still a Marvel movie, which means there’s a post-credits scene to tease what’s to come in the future.
While Marvel movies are often sound and fury, Wakanda Forever is weighty-and is the first MCU installment in quite a while to feel like it has something important to say. He's also delivered one of the most visually stunning and technically impressive Marvel films in some time you're doing yourself an injustice if you don't go watch the awe-inspiring underwater scenes or battle sequences in your nearest Dolby Cinema with seat-rattling Atmos sound. Returning to direct and co-write the film, Ryan Coogler and his team of collaborators crafted a film that continues many of the themes of the first Black Panther-colonialism, isolationism, honor and legacy-while allowing its characters (and by proxy, the audience) to grieve the loss of Boseman.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever arrives in theaters this weekend and is a more than worthy tribute to the legendary Chadwick Boseman.
