New Wakanda Forever Trailer Sort-Of Reveals New Black Panther
The latest Wakanda Forever trailer was released this morning. For those wondering if we’d finally find out who the new Black Panther is, the answer is yes and no.
Yes in that the final shot is a clear reveal of the new costume; no in that they don’t reveal who’s in it. The new Panther has boobs, but that’s not much of a hint since the majority of the remaining cast is women, and the new heroic characters are also women.
Like Riri Williams, the tech genius who idolizes Iron Man so much she builds an iron suit of her own to become the superhero Ironheart. This is the only character we feel we can safely guess isn’t Black Panther, because she can’t be two heroes at once. Riri is played by Doninique Thorne.
Hopefully Wakanda can figure out who to fill that suit out with fast. As stated in the trailer, the country’s enemies know their defender is dead, and “now is the time to strike.” The first to arrive is Namor the Sub-Mariner, royal figure of the underwater kingdom of Talocan (the press release calls him King…in the comics he’s a prince). The weird thing about Namor is that even though he comes from the ocean, he has wings. And they’re not on his back, they’re on his FEET. There is no way to make this look non-silly, but they tried.
Who will be Wakanda’s new champion? Find out November 11 when Black Panther: Wakanda Forever opens in theaters.
