All Hail the King, A New Black Panther Rises in Wakanda Forever: WATCH

The mystery of who the next Black Panther has been answered in the latest trailer to Wakanda Forever by director Ryan Coogler.

The trailer, as it tells the emotional story of the loss of the late Chadwick Boseman’s character, the son king, T’Challa, also teases the next Black Panther, while not directly revealing the new protector of the African nation of Wakanda.

A mural of King T’Challa appears at one stage in the trailer, as Marvel Studios is making good on having the sequel be a tribute to the late Boseman, whose character was not recast for the sequel. 

“They have lost their protector,” Queen Ramonda, played by Angela Bassett, observes as the Wakandans come under attack after King T’Challa’s death, including from a hidden undersea nation called Talokan.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is set to hit theaters on Nov. 11.
