Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has now been released on Disney+, allowing many to catch details and Easter eggs they might have previously missed. Ryan Coogler's follow-up to 2018's Black Panther brought the MCU back to Wakanda for the first time since Avengers: Infinity War, detailing an emotional story as the nation suffers huge grief after the loss of the MCU's Black Panther, T'Challa, portrayed by Chadwick Boseman before his 2020 passing. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was met with huge success during its theatrical run, leading to the film being nominated for a plethora of awards, including five Academy Awards.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever's Disney+ release on February 1 2023, creates the opportunity for Marvel Studios' fans to rewatch Coogler's powerful adventure. With many shocking and world-changing events occurring during Wakanda Forever, it would be easy to miss things during the action, especially after the introduction of Namor and the Talokanil, the sudden death of Queen Ramonda, Shuri becoming the new Black Panther, and Toussaint, T'Challa's son, debuting in the post-credits scene. While Wakanda Forever will have changed the future of the MCU in significant ways, it also features many callbacks to the MCU's rich history and pays tribute to the legendary Chadwick Boseman.
Trevor Noah reprises his role as the AI, Griot, in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, helping Shuri with her technological advancements, specifically the creation of the synthetic heart-shaped herb. In West African cultures, a Griot is a storyteller, poet, and historian who dedicates their life to keeping the old traditions alive. This is referenced throughout the Black Panther franchise, as Shuri regularly "scoffs at tradition" until she enters the Ancestral Plane and begins to understand the value of her Wakandan heritage and its origins.Click to watch
