The trailer, with its stunning visuals and music, introduces us to a Wakanda without a king. It’s an emotional tribute to the late actor that brought the character of T’Challa to life with grace, power, and a commanding presence. He can be felt in every musical note and every image of the teaser. That’s in no small part due to the cast, crew, and director Ryan Coogler. To honor both the actor and character is a daunting task that they look to have pulled off with love and compassion.
The trailer gives us our first look at two major new MCU characters. First is Riri Williams/Ironheart, played by Dominique Thorne. In the comics, Ironheart is a genius that builds her own suit of armor comparable to Tony Stark’s Iron Man suit. She follows in his footsteps and becomes a hero in her own right. After ‘Wakanda Forever’ we’ll see Riri in her own Disney+ show, ‘Ironheart.’The next character is a fan favorite; Namor, the Sub-Mariner. Namor, who looks like he could give Jason Momoa’s Aquaman a run for his money, is played by Tenoch Huerta. In the comics, Namor is a mutant and the King of Atlantis. In the MCU, however, it looks as though Namor and his people may be of Mayan influence. Either way, he's bound to be an exciting addition to the MCU.
‘Wakanda Forever’ also gives us a brief glimpse of the Black Panther in action. Is it a flashback? Has someone taken the mantle of the Black Panther? If so, could it be Shuri, T’Challa’s sister? Fans will have to wait until November 22nd to find out how it all comes together.
