After San Diego Comic-Con 2022, we now have the first Black Panther: Wakanda Forever trailer to obsess over. We’ve waited so long to see exactly what’s going on with this film and now we have just that. Of course, what the trailer doesn’t do is answer the biggest question we’ve all had. Who is the new Black Panther?
Chadwick Boseman, who played King T’Challa and his alter ego the Black Panther in the first film died in 2020, leaving incredibly large superhero boots to fill. And though Disney and Marvel Studios have confirmed they won’t be recasting T’Challa himself, nor will they be using a digital stand-in for Boseman, that doesn’t mean the mantle of Black Panther will remain unoccupied–in fact, we got a split-second glimpse of a Black Panther costume at the end of the trailer. And sure, we don’t know who yet. However, after watching the first trailer for the movie, we certainly have some theories.
Who will take on the mantle? Join us as we try to figure out the answer to that question. And when you’re done with that, don’t forget about all of the other major news Marvel Studios dropped at Comic-Con. We’re getting two more Avengers movies, in addition to Thunderbolts, a new Captain America movie, and Fantastic Four. Plus, in a truly shocking moment, Kevin Feige outlined all of Phase 5 and Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Oh, also, there’s going to be more Cosmo the Spacedog in Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3, which is probably the most important reveal of the convention.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever hits theaters on November 11, 2022.
