Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the second installment of the Chadwick Bosman-starrer Black Panther, finally has a release date after numerous delays. Coming in the aftermath of the tragic loss of Boseman, which has left a significant void in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Black Panther 2 is expected to pay homage to the life and work of the talented actor.
The second installment of Black Panther, set to hit the theaters on November 11, 2022, has been helmed by Ryan Coogler, from a screenplay he co-wrote with Joe Robert Cole. The movie will take fans back to Wakanda to explore the nation's new predicament after the major changes that the first movie saw being brought to the country. In all probability, we will have a new Wakanda and new challenges for the sequel movie.
