There's only one Marvel Studios movie left in 2022, and that is Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The final chapter in Phase 4, the sequel will reveal who takes over the Black Panther mantle in the wake of T'Challa's death, while also introducing key characters like Namor the Submariner and Ironheart.
Now, some new promo art has been revealed showcasing the movie's lead characters.
Below, we have Shiru, Nakia, Okoye, M'Baku, Attuma, Namor the Submariner, Namora, and Riri Williams suited up as Ironheart. This marks our best look yet at the latter, and that homemade suit of armour (believed to be made up of used car parts) is certainly pretty unique.
It's hard not to look at the suit and be reminded of what Tony Stark came up with in that cave once upon a time. However, recent Ironheart set photos have indicated that Riri's armour will differ greatly from both Iron Man and even her comic book counterpart, as Marvel Studios sets out to make this character entirely unique (and not just Iron Man 2.0).
Surprisingly, we still don't have any leaked shots of the new Black Panther, though common sense says Marvel Studios is looking to keep that reveal under wraps for as long as they possibly can before November.
In Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), Shuri (Letitia Wright), M’Baku (Winston Duke), Okoye (Danai Gurira) and the Dora Milaje (including Florence Kasumba), fight to protect their nation from intervening world powers in the wake of King T’Challa’s death.
As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with the help of War Dog Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) and Everett Ross (Martin Freeman) and forge a new path for the kingdom of Wakanda. Introducing Tenoch Huerta as Namor, king of a hidden undersea nation, the film also stars Dominique Thorne, Michaela Coel, Mabel Cadena and Alex Livanalli.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever arrives in theaters on November 11, later this year.
