A 2022 American superhero movie called Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is based on the Marvel Comics superhero Black Panther. It is the follow-up to Black Panther (2018) and the 30th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it was made by Marvel Studios and released by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures (MCU). Letitia Wright plays Shuri/Black Panther in the movie directed by Ryan Coogler and co-written by Joe Robert Cole. Other actors include Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Winston Duke, Florence Kasumba, Dominique Thorne, Michaela Coel, Tenoch Huerta Mejia, Martin Freeman, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Angela Bassett. Following the passing of King T’Challa, the Wakandan authorities strive to preserve their country in the movie.

After the February 2018 release of Black Panther, plans for a sequel started to take shape. In the ensuing months, Coogler bargained to take over as director once more, and Marvel Studios formally announced the sequel’s production in the middle of 2019. After Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman passed away from colon cancer in August 2020, Marvel decided not to recast T’Challa’s role. The title was revealed in May 2021, and other prominent cast members from the original movie were confirmed to return that November. Prior to a break to allow Wright to recover from an injury experienced while filming, production initially took place in Atlanta and Brunswick, Georgia, as well as nearby Massachusetts, from late June to early November 2021. By mid-January 2022, production had resumed, and it was finished in Puerto Rico by late March.

Full Movie Explanation:

Shuri, the sister of T’Challa, the king of Wakanda, believes that the “heart-shaped plant” might heal the disease that is killing the monarch. After Erik Killmonger destroyed the herb, Shuri makes an unsuccessful attempt to synthetically replicate it before T’Challa gives up.

One year later, other countries are pressuring Wakanda to share its vibranium, and some people are trying to take it by force. Shuri refuses to continue her research on the heart-shaped plant because she thinks the Black Panther is a mythical person from the past and Queen Ramonda begs her to do so in order to develop a new Black Panther who will protect Wakanda. The CIA and U.S. Navy SEALs use a vibranium-detecting device to find a probable vibranium deposit underwater in the Atlantic Ocean. The CIA suspects Wakanda is to blame when a troop of blue-skinned, water-breathing superhumans led by Namor attack and kill the mission. Bypassing Wakanda’s sophisticated security, Namor approaches Ramonda and Shuri. He threatens to attack Wakanda until they produce the scientist behind the vibranium-detecting device, blaming them for the existence of the vibranium race.

CIA agent Everett K. Ross informs Shuri and Okoye that the scientist in question is MIT student Riri Williams, and they travel to the college to face her. The FBI and Namor’s warriors are after the gang, and after Okoye is defeated, Shuri and Williams are taken underwater to meet Namor. Ramonda deprives Okoye of her position as general of the Dora Milaje in retaliation for her inability to defend Shuri and seeks for Nakia, who has been residing in Haiti since The Blip. [b] Namor reveals to Shuri his vibranium-rich underwater realm of Talokan, which he has kept hidden from the rest of the world for generations. Namor offers an alliance with Wakanda against the rest of the world out of resentment at the surface world for enslaving the Maya but threatens to wipe out the country if they reject his proposal. Williams and Shuri are able to flee thanks to Nakia, and while Namor attacks Wakanda in retaliation, Ramonda drowns while trying to save Williams. Wakandans travel to the Jabari mountains for refuge after Namor makes a promise to return with his entire army. Meanwhile, Ross is detained for secretly transferring top-secret information with the Wakandans by his ex-wife, CIA director Valentina Allegra de Fontaine.

Shuri reconstructs the heart-shaped herb after Ramonda’s funeral using a piece of the herb that gave Namor’s people their superhuman abilities. After taking it in, she develops superhuman skills, encounters Killmonger in the Ancestral Plane, and he implores her to exact retribution. The other Wakandan tribes recognise Shuri as the Black Panther when she dons a brand-new Black Panther outfit. Shuri, who is determined to inflict vengeance on Namor for the death of Ramonda, orders an instant counterattack on Talokan despite M’Baku’s pleas for calm. Shuri gives Okoye the Midnight Angel armour as they get ready for combat, and after Ayo takes over as the Dora Milaje’s general, Okoye enlists Aneka to join her. Williams develops a motorised exoskeleton akin to Iron Man to help the Wakandans.

The Wakandans use a seagoing ship to lure Namor and his troops to the surface where they engage in combat. To weaken and dehydrate Namor, Shuri locks him inside a fighter jet. They collide on a barren beach and start fighting. Shuri takes the upper hand, but when she sees how similar their lives have been, she begs Namor to give in by proposing a friendly partnership. When Namor agrees, the conflict is over. Although Namor’s cousin, Namora, is disappointed by his surrender, he reassures her that their new alliance would eventually allow them to rule the surface world. While Okoye frees Ross from captivity, Williams leaves her costume behind and heads back to MIT. To secure the continuation of the Black Panther legacy, Shuri plants more herbs with hearts on them. M’Baku pushes up to contend for the crown in Shuri’s absence. In accordance with Ramonda’s instructions, Shuri burns her traditional funeral gown while visiting Nakia in Haiti, allowing herself to finally grieve T’Challa.

In a scene during the credits, Shuri finds out that Nakia has been secretly raising Toussaint, a son that she had with T’Challa. Toussaint discloses that T’Challa is his Wakandan name.
