Following the first official trailer released in July, new film stills have surfaced for Marvel Studios‘ highly-anticipated Black Panther: Wakanda Forever sequel film. The shots offer fresh glimpses at the show’s main characters including Riri Williams’ Ironheart, the successor to Iron Man who builds her own high-tech armor suit, and T’Challa’s lover Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) who’s pictured in mourning.
As evident in the trailer, the nation of Wakanda is sent reeling after the death of late star Chadwick Boseman‘s King T’Challa. Other characters in focus include Jabari Tribe leader Lord M’Baku (Winston Duke), who’s now a part of the tribal council, and the elite, all-female Dora Milaje guards. T’Challa will not be recast for the film.
Below is an official synopsis for the upcoming sequel:
“In Marvel Studios’ 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.”
Marvel‘s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever premieres November 9.
