The tragic loss of Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman to colon cancer in August 2020 threw off filming altogether.
Then Letitia Wright, who plays T’Challa’s younger sister Shuri, was injured on set, and filming was shut down yet again.
The release date was pushed from May 2022 to July 2022 even before Wright’s injury.
But now we finally know: the Black Panther sequel will come out on 11 November 2022.
Who is in the cast of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever?
Following Chadwick Boseman’s death in 2020, the whole franchise was in question. Fans were quick to ask whether T’Challa will be recast, or even digitised.
But Marvel has decided there will be no T’Challa in the second film, but the whole film is said to be dedicated to Boseman’s legacy.
We will see the return of other characters, though: Shuri (Letitia Wright, from Avengers: Infinity War), Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) and Everett Ross (Martin Freeman).
Meanwhile, the up-and-coming Dominique Thorne, star of the upcoming eponymous six-part series Ironheart on Disney+, will make her debut in Wakanda.
The critically acclaimed cast is mostly unchanged since the first film:
- Lupita Nyong'o as Nakia
- Danai Gurira as Okoye
- Martin Freeman as Everett K. Ross
- Daniel Kaluuya as W'Kabi
- Letitia Wright as Shuri
- Winston Duke as M'Baku
- Angela Bassett as Ramonda
- Dominique Thorne as Ironheart
