Black Panther: Wakanda Forever General Discussion and Speculation Thread

[Lencho01]

I still think they're better off changing it from "Black Panther II" to "The World of Wakanda"

Probably will be “Black Panther: The World of Wakanda” so that the franchise name is still out there.

That makes sense

 

[MahvelBaby!]

I'm nervous about how they handle T'Challa randomly disappearing forever but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

 

[Chesterfield]

Hw do you know they didnt? There was alot going on and that seems liek something easy enough to retcon

I know because we all saw 3 of the most important Wakandans who subsequently can contribute to a fight emerge through the portal. The King/Black Panther, his lead bodyguard and the princess. If there was any other Wakandan of significance who rose to prominence he/she would have come through the portal too...unless that person was Okoye herself. Can things be retconned? Sure but as it stands, I'm right.

Blind Items Revealed #3

December 5, 2020

This A- list mostly movie actress was told by her people there was no way she was going to be able to apologize her way out of this and she should just remove herself from social media and the public eye immediately if she wanted to be able to save her career, especially in her universe. Oh, she would get paid whether she was in it or not, but you don't want to be known as the person who was fired from a universe.

Letitia Wright

No you dont know. There were hundreds of figures in that battle. You only saw the ones that the camera focused on. This is what retcons do; they add stuff that wasnt originally there. Knowing what we know of Wakanda mythology, it does make less sense that the country would go without a king/BP for 5 years. If this movie explains what happens and there was a replacement, I don think it will be a shocker. It would be a good use of the tragedy to take tell a story that utilizes that gap bc we really know nothing about it

It would also work to remove/reduce Leticia Wright's role if in fact she truly wants out bc Shuri presumably was snapped out too

Lol I was thinking Black Panther II: Wakanda Forever

 

[Lencho01]

Lol I was thinking Black Panther II: Wakanda Forever

I was thinking that too, but I felt that works better for like a third (and maybe final) film.

 

[Gladius Nova]

Lol I was thinking Black Panther II: Wakanda Forever

Or Black Panther II: Electric Boogaloo

 

[Chesterfield]

No you dont know.

Actually I do know and so does everyone else who watched the film. T'Challa, Okoye and Shuri are the 3 most important people in Wakanda besides Ramonda. If there was an interim leader, that person would have emerged with them and not separately.

There were hundreds of figures in that battle. You only saw the ones that the camera focused on.

So what? That doesn't change the fact that an interim leader/protector would have emerged side by side with the aforementioned and not just randomly appeared alongside everyone else. That's not how royalty and African royalty at that works.

This is what retcons do; they add stuff that wasnt originally there.

I know what a retcon is and I'm not saying a retcon can't be done but as it stands, what I said and have been saying is, as of now fact, until said or proven otherwise.

I don't think they posted this logo in their twitter/facebook/ig page. That's from the recent article in Marvel.com.

 

[Kev4000]

I like they use roman numerals.

 

[psylockolussus]

Or Black Panther II: Electric Boogaloo

Nah. Too goofy.

 

[NotNickFury]

I don't know if this has been brought up, but after watching Far From Home, Doctor Strange 2 and especially Black Panther 2 are two films I'm curious how they'll navigate as far as a post-Snap world.

Far From Home can get away with playing it up for laughs with the whole aging thing. But Black Panther 2, even before Boseman's death, is one that I'm intrigued by because Wakanda was without its king for five years. How'd they keep going after that, especially after Wakanda was made known to the world? Now maybe none of the MCU films will touch upon the aftermath of the Snap, but I would like if there's some acknowledgement of what happened in those five years.

I'm nervous about how they handle T'Challa randomly disappearing forever but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

I hope he goes missing and isn't killed off. That would be tasteless imo.

 

[eon001]

Very disappointed with the no recast news, but I'm ready to move on, as I think they could salvage this if they make the right decisions.

*T'chala is missing not dead.
T'chala goes missing. No one knows where or why. But Wakanda needs a ruler so challenge day commences.

*Cast Nakia as the next Black Panther not Shuri.
Nakia is royalty and has right to ruler-ship. She wins challenge day and becomes Black Panther for the movie. MCU Shuri was never written to be Black Panther and would net be able to earn that in one film IMHO.

*Namor as villain
Nakia hits the ground running as ruler and has to deal with the looming threat of Namor. Shenanigans ensue and war between Atlantis and Wakanda is the focus of the film.

*TChala returns.
We find out where T'chala has been. He was taken by Dr Doom. Doom knows that T'chala is a huge threat to his plans to invade Wakanda. T'chala is heavily protected and Doom knows he can't just kidnap him so he tries to remove him from reality with Kang's help. Nakia, Okoye and Shuri uncover the mystery.

Getting T'chala back and fighting Dooms impeding invasion is the focus of the 3rd film.
Black Panther 3: Doom War.

The ideas are a bit raw and fan fic-ish. I'm hoping by the 3rd movie, we would be ready to recast. I'm think Trevonte Rhodes would be good T'chala.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

A Black Panther movie without Black Panther and just the supporting characters? Sounds lame

Might as well remove Black Panther from the title and just call it Wakanda

 

[Dasher10]

I'm guessing that Tenoch Huerta is Doctor Doom since even though he's Mexican, he can easily pass for a Romani. Namor kind of has to be Asian and Michael Achebe kind of has to be black so it looks like even if the sequel lacks T'Challa, we'll have Doom present and Doom's MCU debut will be a very, very big deal.

I just hope that they don't actually kill off T'Challa and instead simply state that he's headed off towards parts unknown since A. Shuri was Black Panther during the Doomwar storyline and B. T'Challa did disappear back during Christopher Priest's run when he fell ill. Simply stating that he's gone for a time feels less exploitative than a body double getting killed in by Doombots in the first 5 minutes before he can utter a single line.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

He's rumored to be El Diablo, which is more believable than him being Doom.

 

[Albright]

Doom, the most iconic villain of Marvel will be a big name.

It would be great, if they’ll find a way to make N’Jadaka the legitimate Black Panther. Maybe from another dimension. Normally I don’t like the use of the Multiverse to force the plot to meet old characters again...but Michael B. Jordan would be the perfect Black Panther.
MBJ and Ryan Coogler are very close. I bet they had talks to go into that directions.

But I think the front runner is Shuri (which is ok for me)

 

[writer0327]

I agree they have made a huge mistake not recasting T'challa, but I like some of the ideas I am reading here. It seems pretty obvious there going to go with Shuri as BP, and there are some great story lines they can craft from that. However without T'challa, unfortunately this does little for the legacy of a character who I feel is one of the more important characters in the MCU and Marvel in general.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I think them going with shuri is the obvious route, and that's why it won't happen immediately imo. Although I had the thought that maybe the supporting team can ALL be the black panther. Mbaku, okoye, Nakia, and shuri.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Just thought of something and I don’t know if it had been brought up before, but what if Black Panther 2 takes place during those 5 years after after Thanos snapped half of humanity? This would explain why there would be no need to recast Chadwick since T’Challa was one of the victims and he wouldn’t need to be in the movie

 

[Albright]

Doubt it, Shuri was snapped as well

Then Shuri wouldn't be in it either.
