As the Wakandans stive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must bond together with Nakia and Everett Ross to forge a new path for their beloved kingdom.
People from all social classes have been talking about building up the hype towards this movie. The cast include Lupita Nyongo,Angela Basett,Dominque Thome, Tenoch Huerta, Letitia Wright, Michael B.Jordan,Mabel Cadena, Daniel Kaluya,Dorothy Steel, Michael Coel, Winston Duke, Martin Freeman, and many more who all gave stellar performances in bringing out the best of the marvel Wakanda world.
The director Ryan Coogles teamed up with the marvel studios to celebrate the life of the black panther that is Chadwick Boseman aka King Tchalla as brought out in the cinematography led by Autumn Durald akapaw.This Blockbuster movie has raked in a budget of 250 million USD and keeps rising in the box office as the number one celebrated movie worldwide.
Having teamed up with Walt Disney Studio Motion Pictures as the official distributor and partner with century max plus IMAX Cinemas ,the 3D experience is one to die for since it is the most anticipated movie of 2022.It's interesting to see how Shuri(King Tchalla's sister) becomes the new black panther with a new suite ,more powers, a new helmet, meeting with T’Chaka(his and nemesis),fighting M’baku for the throne as her way of honoring her brother and mother –Queen Ramonda.
It is also quite riveting to see how Shuri comes up and gets in so well with the artificial intelligence Technology within Wakanda who produce a part having vibranium to fight off the devil’s son-Namura aka King Kukulkan from the underwater world of Taloqan (Merman, son of the sea) and his army.
Lupita Nyong'o also introduces her son who was born before the demise of king Tchalla to Shuri who is so proud and happy to hear the news that she had a nephew whom she never heard about, yet her mum had met him before he passed away. Her ability in learning Spanish and French was an added advantage as a schoolteacher based in Haiti and investigating the story of how the Kukulkan warriors came to be and how they survive under water with scaled mouthguards and winged feet.
Skywalker is another character who is introduced to us, a young teenager from an American university who built a robot suite as well as a social intelligence system which she programmed herself that was used for a CIA case to track down the culprits who tried to steal the idea from her. Shuri and Okoye were sent to the human world specifically USA by Queen Ramonda to track down this young American girl to protect the world of Wakanda from being wiped out completely.
I was thoroughly stunned by the outfits, concept design and the storyline of Wakanda that was twisted in a very intelligent way to play around with the minds of citizens across the world and have Queen Ramonda honor King Tchalla by reminding them of their roots and why they nation in the whole world as seen on how she gathers the elders and people of Wakanda to hold a funeral during his demise, prepare them for war with new costumes and weapons as well as protect their most treasured possession, 'The Black Panther’ whose spirit burns bright in Shuri and queen Ramonda as she passes the baton to King M’baku to continue the legacy of the Bashenga Tribe.
Many superfans of the Wakanda World dressed up to the nines at all the premieres that were held worldwide to show their joy and support for the Wakanda world. Each person expressed their awe towards their favorite cast members as well as wearing Marvel T-shirts and doing the Wakanda fist sign as a significance to appreciate and honor the Black Panther whose spirit lives in all of us. The soundtrack includes songs by burnaboy and Rihanna amongst many others who made it an enormous success.
