The world premiere of Marve’s blockbuster movie Black Panther: Wakanda Forever took place not long ago in Hollywood, giving fans a reason to chant Wakanda Forever. Early reviews from critics have been overwhelmingly positive.

According to Variety’s reporting, the whole theater reportedly cried during the entire 160-minute length. The hype around Marvel’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is through the roof. Its predecessor made over $1.3 billion around the world and over $700 million in North America.

To some, the question of who will portray Black Panther in future MCU installments is less pressing than the question of how the impending sequel will honor the late Chadwick Boseman, who played the title character in the first film.

The movie will not feature a recasting of T’Challa’s role but will instead depict the fictitious Marvel nation in grief. Critics are calling Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which tells the story of the people of Wakanda as they rebuild and get ready for life without their king, an emotional farewell to one of the most beloved superheroes of the previous decade.
