That’s the official title of the sequel, which will no doubt be a complete tear fest.
It’s slated to hit theaters on July 8th, 2022.
I read a rumor, regarding what the plot of this movie is going to be.
If it’s true, then we need an emoji between

I just wish that they would have recast T’Challa.
I understand that but I’m not surprised they didn’t. I think a lot of people would have an issue with it if they had. Marvel was in a tough spot there and either way it would be hard to keep everyone happy. I think they’ve chosen to err on the side of caution by not re-casting out of respect for Chadwick.
And yet there’s news that they may recast Thunderbolt Ross; William Hurt died this year, and they may replace him with Harrison Ford (an actor who’s older than Hurt was when he passed), but a year after Chadwick died, they started filming, and recasting T’Challa was “too soon”?

I think that’s different. Marvel demonstrated in Wakanda Forever that it did not need to re-cast T’Challa in the way they likely do need to re-cast Thunderbolt Ross. Additionally, T’Challa is a far more iconic character, an idol for so many people, which Thunderbolt Ross is not. There would be way too many emotions involved if the former were re-cast vs re-casting the latter. Furthermore, no one knew Chadwick Boseman was sick so his death was shocking and sudden. I think more time is needed to process that before making a choice to replace the actor, especially an actor of that magnitude. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion
SPOILER FREE REVIEW
I saw Wakanda Forever over the weekend and I really enjoyed it! I was concerned about the run time, but I didn’t think there was any wasted time and it held my interest. The soundtrack was incredible, just like the first movie, and the cinematography was visually stunning once again.If you’re one of those Marvel fans that stays until the end, there is only 1 scene in the credits this time.
Also, I cried in the first 5 minutes
