Black Panther: Wakanda Forever release date
Black Panther was also a major commercial success on its release, grossing over $1.3 billion worldwide. It also became the first Marvel Cinematic Universe film to score a Best Picture Oscar nomination. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will be released on November 11.
The official Marvel handle reveals that advance bookings for the film have officially begun in India. This news comes just in time for the Diwali festive season. "Wakanda has opened its doors to the world once again! Advance booking for Marvel Studios' Black Panther: #WakandaForever is now open," read a tweet on the production house's official page.
Plot Details
The sequel sees the likes of Shuri (Letitia Wright), Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o), Okoye (Danai Gurira), M'Baku (Winston Duke) and Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett) taking on underwater monarch Namor, played by Tenoch Huerta.
A new trailer recently dropped at the Marvel panel at Comic-Con showing Wakanda attempting to forge a new path following the death of its king, T'Challa (Boseman).
Recently, director Coogler discussed what the original script of Black Panther sequel looked like and how it was written for Chadwick Boseman. Following the death of the actor in 2020 after his cancer battle, the director and co-writer Joe Robert Cole re-wrote a script after Marvel had decided against recasting the film.
"The script we wrote before Chadwick passed was very much rooted in T’Challa’s perspective," Coogler told The Hollywood Reporter. "It was a massive movie but also simultaneously a character study that delved deeply into his psyche and situation."
He revealed, “The Black Panther has existed in Wakanda for centuries, so the notion of someone else picking up the mantle didn’t seem inorganic,” said Wakanda Forever producer Nate Moore. “But once that had to become a reality, then it was, ‘OK, what makes the most sense for the story? Who actually makes the most sense to take this thing on?’"
The film opens in theatres on November 11, 2022, in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu in India.
