Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Trailer Arrives, Shows Off Namor For First Time

Finally, we can learn more about the upcoming Black Panther sequel.

20 Comments

Closing out the Marvel panel at Comic-Con 2022 was the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever trailer. Arriving in theaters November 11, 2022, the sequel is delivering a lot to fans, including Namor: The Sub-Mariner.

Ryan Coogler will direct the film, which will see a war between Atlantis and Wakanda. There will be lots of introductions to new characters, many of which are familiar to Marvel Comics readers. And yes, someone does appear in the Black Panther costume at the end of the trailer, but we're not sure who it is. However, it's in the same suit Killmonger wore in the first movie, and he's supposedly dead. Check out the trailer for yourself below.

Tenoch Huerta (The Forever Purge) will play Namor, the king of Atlantis. "I'm excited and so happy to be here," Huerta said in the panel, which was covered by GameSpot's Mason Downey. "I want to say something really fast about inclusion. I come from the hood. And thanks to inclusion, I'm here."

Huerta went on to say that Namor is amazing. But he's not the only new character for the movie. Dominique Thorne will be playing Riri Williams, a teenager who is a genius inventor. She'll be staring in the Disney+ series Ironheart in the near future. "I think we all know that the impact of Black Panther 1 is indelible, it's indescribable, it's physical emotional mental and most of all spiritual," Thorne said. "I think to be a part of it returning to the screen, and showcasing this beautiful new young mind, and to do that while highlighting this important perspective. It is an honor."

A new poster for the movie also arrived, which you can check out below.

Black Panther closed out the very crowded Marvel panel on Saturday at Comic-Con. Marvel also announced a Thunderbolts movie, a new Daredevil show, a She-Hulk trailer, Blade's release date, the next Captain America movie title, two new Avengers movies, and a few other announcements.

It looks like they are trying to turn Namor into a combo of the Rock and Jason Momoa at the same time............

@Segyl: it'd be the third version of MBJ's Killmonger/BP character though, as the Evil-er version is eternally locked in a struggle with " Arnim Zola-Ultron " for that destroyed universe's Infinity Stones... Being guarded by Evil-er Dr. Strange in an even more destroyed universe, lol.

I like the trailer and it has potential in reference to the plot and to have the Sub-Mariner in it too! But I will be watching this on Disney+ when it comes as I do not go to theaters.

Very cool, and even though I loved Chadwick as T'Challa; I think they should have recast.

@Sepewrath: They will, but not on this one, since its too soon for some people sensibilities and they would squeal boycott if a new panther was recasted.

Probably going to recast panther and get rid of shuri at the same time.

@s1taz4a3l: Did y'all watch the trailer? It's pretty clear T'challa is dead and something bad happens to Shuri. Their queen mother says she's lost her whole family and given enough for the country.

@s1taz4a3l: Disagree, she also means Shuri. I mean, what's the point of a movie plot if the protagonist - and Shuri is undoubtedly at least a protagonist if not the protagonist - isn't going through something bad?

(Shuri is also a Black Panther title holder, in case anyone doesn't know).

@lionheartssj1: Truth be told the vaccine wasnt the issue but that production had to stop costing millions in delay. Dont be surprised when she is written off or aged forward for some reason.

@s1taz4a3l: She can't be aged; that'd have to age everyone else as well... unless they invoke SORAS (Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome), which is typically used for child characters aged into adults. (I swear they did that with Cooper Barton, Clint's oldest).

@s1taz4a3l Yeah, pretty sure the delay was because of Letitia Wright's injury.

@lionheartssj1: Because during the production of Wakanda Forever,The actress playing Shuri was vocal about not taking the Vaccinations during the pandemic.

Luckily she is black so she didn't get fired. Black privilege baby! WAKANDA FOREVER!!!!
