The long-awaited sequel to “Black Panther” has a new trailer.
Driving the news: Marvel Cinematic Studios released a new trailer on Monday for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” This is the best preview so far for the movie, which will premiere on Nov. 11.
- After Chadwick Boseman died of colon cancer in 2020, Marvel announced that they will not recast his role of T’Challa. A new character will be selected to fill the Black Panther role.
- The trailer shows the impact of T’Challa’s death on Wakanda. A new world is also introduced — the underwater kingdom Talocan. Director Ryan Coogler told Entertainment Weekly that Talocan was inspired by ancient Mayan culture and shares many similarities with Wakanda.
- “The film should feel like a really wild dream that you would have, but where everything felt like it was really there,” Coogler told Entertainment Weekly.
What they’re saying: The identity of the new Black Panther has not been officially announced yet. The trailer does end with a look at the new Black Panther suit — and it appears to be a woman. Fans speculate it is Shuri, T’Challa’s sister, in the suit.
Details: When “Black Panther” first hit theaters in 2018, it earned $192 million in three days and broke a slew of records, according to Forbes.
- The sequel is directed and co-written by Ryan Coogler, who directed “Black Panther.” Coogler said filming the sequel was “cathartic” as he came to terms with Boseman’s death.
- Most of the original cast are returning to their roles for the sequel, including Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke, Angela Bassett and Martin Freeman.
