‘Black Panther’ is back!

Set for release November 11, a titillating new trailer for the eagerly anticipated sequel, ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ has been unleashed.

Directed by a returning Ryan Coogler, the Marvel production serves as the follow-up to the 2018 first film – which took the world and box office by storm, generating over $1 Billion.

Following the tragic loss of Chadwick Boseman, who died in 2020 of cancer, many have wondered how his harrowing absence would be navigated in the film.

Execs promised that his character T’Challa would not be recast and have honored that promise.

The latest look at the film sees Wakanda and its inhabitants (such as Lupita Nyong’o, Angela Bassett, and Letitia Wright) in mourning. New cast member Michaela Coel is also seen in the mix

However, RHOA’s Drew Sidora – who Whitfield locked horns with over the season – has gone on record to state that all is not as it seems.
