After the 2018 smash hit Black Panther, Marvel is back with the 30th film in its cinematic universe.
Just as Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness hits our screens, Marvel fans are excited by the next great blockbuster sequel, this time from Wakanda.

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:
