The highly-anticipated film Wakanda Forever, will be here sooner – much sooner – than you think.
According to the movie listing platform Average Socialite, the Black Panther sequel will no longer debut on its previously reported date of November 11th. Instead, Marvel Studios has moved the world premiere to Tuesday, October 25th.
Earlier this month, the film’s first official trailer hit the internet and had social media in a frenzy. The second installment to 2018’s blockbuster takes place after the death of their leader T’Challa (played by the late Chadwick Boseman), as the kingdom of Wakanda prepares for a new threat from an underwater nation. During the two-minute video, Namor – the film’s main antagonist – can be heard saying: “Only the most broken people can be great leaders.”
The cast for Wakanda Forever includes Lupita Nyong’o as Nakia, Letitia Wright as Shuri, Danai Gurira as Okoye, Florence Kasumba as Ayo, Winston Duke as M’Baku, Angela Bassett as Queen Ramonda and Martin Freeman as Everett Ross, all reprising their roles from the franchise’s first installment. The sequel brings newcomers such as Tenoch Huerta, who plays the main antagonist Namor, Mabel Cadena, Alex Livinalli, Dominique Thorne, who will debut as the young power-suited hero Ironheart, and Michaela Coel, the star of HBO’s I May Destroy You.
Back in July, Marvel Studios shared a teaser for the movie. At the same time, Hollywood Records shared a three-song EP called Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Prologue.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is set for a worldwide theatrical release on November 11, 2022. You can purchase tickets here. Take a look at the official trailer below.
