A new clip from Marvel Studios' highly anticipated Black Panther: Wakanda Forever gives us a much clearer look at the next Black Panther's mask. The 30 seconds promo, titled 'Throne', offers brief flashes and glimpses of Shuri, Namor, and M'Baku from the upcoming film. The end of the trailer takes viewers to the throne room, where two Black Panther masks are on display - one of T'Challa's and one of the new Black Panther.
An unknown character picks up the new helmet before the shot cuts to the next where we see this new Black Panther whip out his/her claws. The quick tease ramps up the speculation over who will take over as the next Black Panther upon the death of Chadwick Boseman, who passed away from colon cancer in August 2020 at the age of 43.
Fans have been going gaga since the new Black Panther's suit design was seen in another glimpse that was released. Another trailer for Wakanda Forever showed a remodeled suit, the shape of which confirmed that it will be a woman to take up the mantle of Black Panther.
Marvel has been mum about who will succeed T'Challa and not much about the film has been revealed either. Wakanda Forever is expected to feature some sort of tribute to Boseman who made his debut as the superhero in Captain America: Civil War before starring in his record-breaking 2018 solo film and going on to reprise the role in Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever serves as the sequel to 2018's Black Panther and the 30th film in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). The film will star Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, Winston Duke, Dominique Thorne, Florence Kasumba, Michaela Coel, Tenoch Huerta, Martin Freeman, and Angela Bassett.
In the film, the leaders of Wakanda fight to protect their nation in the wake of King T'Challa's death as a new threat emerges from the hidden undersea nation which is brought forth by King Namor of Talokan. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is all set for a theatrical release on 11 November 2022 and will also be the final film in Phase Four of the MCU.
