Our take on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Ryan Coogler's 2022 sequel opens in mourning: with King T'Challa gone, Queen Ramonda, Shuri, M'Baku, Okoye and the Dora Milaje must defend Wakanda as outside powers press in on the grieving nation. Alongside Nakia and Everett Ross, the heroes are forced to band together and chart a new course for the kingdom. It carries the weight of loss through its action, balancing large-scale spectacle with questions of leadership, legacy and how a people move forward. Best for viewers invested in the wider Wakanda saga who want an emotionally charged superhero epic, it leans as much on grief and resolve as on set-pieces and world-building.
