The production team were set a colossal task to memorialise the strong fearless leader King T’Challa , but most importantly the actor Chadwick Boseman , who shaped up the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe playing the lead as Black Panther.
The amazing team wasted no time to honour the late Chadwick Boseman who influenced and impacted so many lives.
Minutes into movie , tribes from across Wakanda united in celebratory dance and atmospheric songs, dressed in striking white beads & fabrics with not one bit of detail that has gone unnoticed.


Members of Dora Milaje carry T’Challa to the ancestral plane , emotional & powerful scene that symbolised the iconic figure within the Marvel Universe & the grievance of Boseman’s death which transferred remnants of their sorrow onto the big screen.

Following the death of the fierce Black Panther grieving Queen Ramona and noble Princess Shuri struggle to find their feet in a corrupt world eager to strip Wakanda of it’s precious vibranium.
One Year after the death of King T’Challa, Wakanda faces another threat. This time, King Namor, a mutant leader of an unstoppable oceanic warrior clan, who are determined to protect and preserve the hidden underwater kingdom of Taloken from the surface at all costs. And as the invaders ‘ overpowering stranglehold tightens, Wakanda must prepare to fight with or without valorous leader.

Tenoch Huerta plays a stand out riveting villain in Namor “Kukulkan” a god seeking to claim what he believes will empower his oceanic warriors. Namor is an amazing character mysterious yet compelling and plays the role with conviction. Considering that he is a new face within the film world I was extremely impressed by his ability to showcase emotion & strength in his performances throughout the film.

Letitia Wright, Angela Bassett & Danai Gurira play vital roles once again with outstanding performances. Powerful with emotional strides of dialogues & monologues, showcasing their talents to provide a great follow up from the original Black Panther.
After getting restored to life, (Letita Wright) joins the battle against an alternate Thanos. Following her brother and mother’s death, she becomes the new Black Panther.
The rise of the new Black Panther did not disappoint!


“Wakanda Forever” makes its impact amongst many other comic book films. This is due to it’s dynamic visual style, production focus and vision ,incredible cultural characters and strong female lead roles. This cinematography is truly mesmerising and is complimented by the outstanding performances which transcends you into the Marvel universe.
Film Review. Great watch, long but worth it loved the character Namor & the way they dealt with the death of Chadwick Boseman. Visuals are great and well worth the watch.
eclectic rating 8/10
