We get a much better glimpse at the funeral being held for T’Challa in Wakanda. It is both beautiful and serene. Shuri, Queen Ramonda and the rest of Wakanda are wearing white robes and mourning his death and celebrating his life. Shuri is also seen holding her brother’s Black Panther mask as a remembrance of him. Lastly, we see a stunning mural of the late Chadwick Boseman or rather T’Challa against a white wall.

The theory claiming that Shuri will become the next Black Panther has been confirmed and we finally get a look at the female Black Panther. She jumps out of an opening and dives down. She even somersaults down and then lands on her feet perfectly. Her Black Panther suit is a combination of Black and Gold. Simply with her stunning entrance, fans are convinced that she is worthy of the title and will be a great Black Panther.

Namor is confirmed to be a mutant

We get a look at not only Tenoch Huerta as Namor but several other Atlanteans as they swim in the seas. By the first look itself the cinematography and costuming looks brilliant. With several beautifully shot scenes underwater it seems that the Atlanteans will get the proper portrayal they deserve on screen. The most important moment here was when Namor was flying. He flies with the help of tiny little wings that grew out of his feet. This indicates that contrary to the Atlanteans, Namor is a mutant who also has the ability to fly. This is very important in the bigger picture of the MCU as well, as they are trying to bring mutants to the big screen.

Riri Williams as Ironheart parallels Iron Man

Riri Williams aka Ironheart will be making her debut with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. In the trailer, she can be seen working on her suit. Then she takes off in the suit in an epic moment as she flies off to the sky. One scene here stands out. The shot of Riri using what is an oxyacetylene torch and a hammer to create or fix her Ironheart suit is similar to when Tony Stark created his first Iron Man suit. This sets Riri up for her own TV series that will be coming soon.

True celebration of female power in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

The MCU has had many attempts in creating a movie, show or even scene to celebrate female power and camaraderie. However, most of them have been quite lackluster and simply felt like a token and nothing more. Fans have especially been disappointed with how the MCU handled Black Widow. But Black Panther Wakanda Forever looks like it will prove to be different. Right from Shuri, Nakia, Okoye to Aneka, Ironheart and Queen Ramonda, the trailer is full of powerful and fierce female characters. And with the tiny glimpses in the trailer, we are sure that it will be a pleasure to see all these women on screen.
