Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

So where does this place Black Panther: Wakanda Forever on the list of longest MCU films? Right up at the top, in second place behind only Avengers: Endgame, ...

Wakanda Forever will be 27 minutes longer than the original Black Panther. Featured image: Danai Gurira as Okoye in Marvel Studios’ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Add to all this the fact that Wakanda Forever will also introduce a new Marvel superhero, Dominique Throne’s Ironheart, who will be starring in her own Disney+ series later. [Kevin Feige recently revealed](https://www.motionpictures.org/2022/09/marvels-kevin-feige-on-why-they-didnt-recast-tchalla-for-black-panther-wakanda-forever/), there was never a plan to recast Boseman’s character, T’Challa, for the sequel, which means that Wakanda Forever will be directly dealing with the loss of T’Challa in some way, shape, or form, and that will take time. The first and most difficult task for Coogler and his creative team is dealing with the loss of Boseman, who was, of course, Black Panther himself. There’s a tremendous amount to cover in Wakanda Forever, Coogler’s sequel to his 2018 game-changer Black Panther, so a long runtime isn’t surprising.

Black Panther Wakanda Forever's lengthy runtime has been revealed, coming in at the second-longest Marvel Cinematic Universe movie behind Avengers: ...

[Speaking about what it was like filming the second movie without Boseman](https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a41262401/black-panther-2-filming-without-chadwick-boseman/), M'Baku actor Winston Duke told [Variety](https://twitter.com/Variety/status/1568721427033112576): "There was no preparing for it.

Of course, [Zack Snyder's Justice League](https://www.digitalspy.com/justice-league/) is the longest superhero film ever at over four hours, but it wasn't a cinematic release.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is a huge and emotional step for the franchise. But it's also the product of a time-skip that could benefit the film.

Nevertheless, the time between both films is also a large adjustment period in which Wakanda had to show solidarity with the rest of the world that likely wanted their Vibranium to be shared. For fans, the time jump between T'Challa's first appearance to the events of Black Panther has only been six years.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever runtime officially stands revealed which makes the flick the second-longest film in the MCU.

The heroes must band together to forge a new path for the kingdom. Avengers: Endgame has a runtime of 3 hours and 2 minutes and compared to the first movie, Black Panther has a runtime of 2 hours and 15 minutes. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has a runtime of 2 hours and 41 minutes (161 minutes) as confirmed to THR by Disney.

"Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" may be one of the most hotly anticipated projects from the Marvel Cinematic Universe yet.

Recent MCU releases like "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" and "Thor: Love and Thunder" have roughly clocked out around a lean 2-hour runtime, but those worried that "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" won't have enough meat on its bones can rest assured. Director Ryan Coogler's blockbuster sequel to 2018's "Black Panther" will invite viewers to the hyper-advanced civilization of Wakanda once again and reunite them with numerous fan-favorite characters.

Empire revisits the film with brand new interviews with the creators. From the MCU to Bond and beyond, Lashana Lynch’s rise has been swift – and she’s only just getting started. South Korean auteur Park Chan-wook is behind some of the most twisty and twisted thrillers ever made – and with Decision To Leave, he’s heading further into Hitchcockian deadly-romance territory. The three unite for a lively Empire interview, talking donkeys, drama, and deep emotions. After an unthinkable loss, the team behind Black Panther has reunited for a follow-up that’s all about resilience and finding a way forward. Now, Coogler is ready to bring us all back to Wakanda in a big way – albeit without the late, great Chadwick Boseman.

Marvel Studios has one last movie to give to the world before the year is done, - none other than Ryan Coogler's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

He even went out of his way [to learn a Mayan language for the part](https://thedirect.com/article/black-panther-2-villain-mcu-actor). Instead, the weight of that responsibility will be evenly distributed on Wakanda as a whole—hopefully, they’re ready for what Huerta has in store. In the comics, the character is even a member of the Illuminati—which, good thing for him, that’s not the case on Earth-838. Earlier this year, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' theatrical poster and credits also made MCU history by being the first film to be credited the sequel as Given his new credit, it seems Marvel Studios is very confident in what he has to bring to the MCU.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 29 — It will be the first time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that an actor has been 'introduced' in the credits.

“I want to say something about inclusion. The relatively unknown actor will now play ‘one of the most important characters’ in the MCU as the ruler of Tanocan and will face off against Wakanda in the story. An ‘Introducing’ credit was used alongside the film's ensemble cast, usually reserved for an unknown actor who plays a big role in the film’s story.

It was a heartbreaking preview of the film that confirmed T'Challa's death and showcased how the film was going to pay tribute to Chadwick Boseman. The sad ...

Is Namor being a mutant in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever a good idea? Talocan will likely pop up in Marvel Comics in the future. At the end of the day, Ryan Coogler and Marvel probably wanted more representation in the MCU. It makes sense that he’d be a mutant in his first appearance. Namor is the first mutant to appear in Marvel Comics. The sad music playing while the family of T’Challa mourned their loved one hit viewers in the heart.

For starters, we see Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) visiting Wakanda, being comforted by Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o) and meeting with Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett) ...

Introducing Tenoch Huerta as Namor, king of a hidden undersea nation, the film also stars Dominique Thorne, Michaela Coel, Mabel Cadena and Alex Livanalli. Finally, we see director Ryan Coogler on set instructing the various members of the Dora Milaje. There's no sign of her Ironheart armour just yet, though we're guessing that's a reveal Marvel Studios is probably saving for the next trailer.

New images for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever highlight M'Baku (Winston Duke), Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o), and the sequel's new characters.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is the debut of Namor in live-action. But one change to his origin may help the character grow even more.

There's also the representation aspect that has come from focusing on a culture tied more so to Mesoamerica and the Latin culture of the area. In recent years, Atlantis has been a large fixture for comic book films, as Aquaman gave audiences a detailed look at DC's iteration of the kingdom. The Aztec inspiration can be seen from the weapons to the attire of the characters and their kingdom. This new land will also be the domain of [Namor, the Sub-Mariner](https://www.cbr.com/namor-tenoch-huerta-kick-ass-black-panther-2-mcu/).

Moreover, this impending war between Wakanda and Talocan could be the push that Williams will need to eventually step up and become a hero.

Here are some things to know about Tenoch Huerta's career before he rises from the sea in BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER!

In the same Empire piece, it was revealed that, just like his comic book counterpart, the movie version of Namor will be a mutant. When the highly anticipated BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER opens in AMC Theatres on November 11, audiences around the world will get to see the Mexican actor’s take on the iconic comic book character Namor the Sub-Mariner. By mid-November 2022, Tenoch Huerta will most likely be a household name following the long-awaited release of BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER, the upcoming Marvel movie that will see the Mexican actor take on the role of Namor the Sub-Mariner. Then in 2015, Huerta appeared in one of his biggest movies to date, THE 33, Patricia Riggen’s emotional biographical disaster film about the 2010 Copiapó mining disaster and the 33 miners who were trapped inside a Chilean mine for 69 days before being rescued. In the years following his first foray into acting, Huerta would appear in movies like DÉFICIT, SLEEP DEALER, and SIN NOMBRE, to name only a few. Here are some things to know about his career before Huerta rises from the sea in BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER.

The excitement for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is quite high, as the next MCU entry is mere two months from being released in theaters.

The MCU film is set to be one of the final entries of Phase 4, so we can expect some huge cameos to happen in the film. Also, we still do not know who is going to be the next Black Panther, though we would assume Shuri is meant to take on the role, though Lupita Nyong’o is also a strong candidate.

While this is just speculation, we would be happy to see her take the honor of being the next Black Panther. Tenoch Huerta recently revealed that Namor is going to appear as a mutant in the movie, which is great considering the character held mutant origins in the comics as well. Based on the trailer, there is meant to be a funeral of sorts, or a celebration as many of the characters are all dressed in white.

A new image from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever sees Winston Duke's M'Baku clad in an eye-catching new costume for the upcoming Marvel Studios film.

I think his type of code of honor would be pretty cool to see interact with so many other things." "This narrative has evolved, and it's changed, just like all the characters and the circumstances of Wakanda itself," he added. So he's been forced to really be a part of the collective transparency. That would be pretty cool because he's not a character that we usually see exploring. He survived The Snap, he is now a part of the Tribal Council so he's more forward-facing and less insular. Courtesy of Empire, the image sees M'Baku standing in a rather imposing way while wearing his new attire, which consists of such elements as an animalistic face on the chest plate and braids on the skirt.
