We're now less than two months away from the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and we can expect to see marketing for the Marvel Studios sequel kick up a few gears over the next few weeks.
A new trailer is rumored for this Monday when tickets supposedly go on sale (it's yet to be confirmed), but in the meantime, we have a first look at the new standee that will soon be shipped out to theaters worldwide.
The promo art spotlights (from left to right) Letitia Wright as Shuri, Lupita Nyong'o as Nakia, Florence Kasumba as Ayo, Danai Gurira as Okoye, Winston Duke as M'Baku, and Angela Bassett as Queen Ramonda. Representing the Talocans, we have Tenoch Huerta as Namor the Sub-Mariner, Alex Livinalli as Attuma, and Mabel Cadena as Namora.
Though she's not wearing the new costume here (check out the Funko POP), it's looking increasingly likely that Shuri will take up the mantle of Black Panther from her brother T'Challa (the late Chadwick Boseman).
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 hits theaters on November 11.
