But it was the trailer of the Black Panther sequel, Wakanda Forever that stole our heart. The film will now show how the people of Wakanda grieved and coped with the loss of their King T’Challa played by the late actor, Chadwick Boseman, who passed away in 2020 after a long battle with cancer.
The trailer was released during Comic-Con and everyone in the audience, including the cast members, were brought to tears as the song ‘No Woman, No Cry’ played in the background. Director Ryan Coogler spoke about honouring Boseman’s memory through the new film, saying, “I can feel his hand on me now.”
Wakanda Forever will be released later this year in November and will see Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Letitia Wright, and Angela Bassett reprising their iconic roles.
