Marvel Studios has released the newest trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. It’s a sequel that promises to be one of the most exciting and also most emotional as it respectfully addresses the tragic loss of the beloved King T’Challa, played Chadwick Boseman, who sadly died of cancer in 2020. But rather than recast the role, Marvel decided to pass on the title of Black Panther to a different character, one that has yet to be revealed to the world.

While the trailer expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe, giving us more glimpses of a Wakanda we did not see in any of the films that came before, we also get to see more of Tenoch Huerta‘s Namor, who appears to be more of an antagonist trying to protect his kingdom from the threat of surface dwellers. Additionally, M’Baku (Winston Duke) tells the story of Namor, also known as Kukulkan, the feathered serpent god. This little bit of storytelling plays a pivotal role in the representation as the film pulls from Mayan and Aztec mythology.

But we also get to see some sneak peeks of Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) forging her own Iron Man-inspired suit to become Ironheart. Of course, this is only a small introduction as the character will later appear in an Ironheart series set to stream exclusively on Disney+ later next year.

Of course, one of the biggest questions in the film is who is the new Black Panther. Marvel Studios is playing this close to the chest by not revealing that identity. However, the final shot does reveal that Wakanda’s greatest protector could be a woman. And if we were to follow royal blood line rules, it only makes sense that it’s Shuri (Letitia Wright). Considering that we overhear Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett) tell someone, off screen, to show them who we are, it is safe to assume that it is someone really close to the family. But that is just speculation on my part.

Danai Gurira, Florence Kasumba, Lupita Nyong’o, and Martin Freeman also star.

Directed by Ryan Coogler and produced by Kevin Feige and Nate Moore, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever opens in theaters on November 11, 2022.
