The first trailer for the much-awaited sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is out, giving us a first glimpse at the latest events happening within the world’s most powerful nation.

The trailer hints at an emotional funeral for the Black Panther himself, King T’Challa. Fans have expected this for a while now after actor Chadwick Boseman passed on in August of 2020. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige then said they will not recast or use CGI to bring T’Challa back on the big screen.

Watch the first trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever below:

The trailer opens with Nakia, Shuri, Okoye, Queen Ramonda, and the whole nation of Wakanda mourning for their King, while an emotional rendition of No Woman No Cry plays in the background. We are then introduced to the people of Atlantis and its leader, Namor the Sub-Mariner, who will act as the villain in the new film. We see war breaking out between the two nations, but before the trailer closes, a new hero in the Black Panther suit arrives– his or her identity undisclosed to the viewers.

Letitia Wright, Angela Bassett, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Winston Duke, and Martin Freeman are reprising their roles in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Also joining the cast are Tenoch Huerta as Namor and Dominique Thorne debuting as Ironheart.

Directed by Ryan Coogler, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is set for US release on November 11, 2022.
