BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER is the story of a kingdom facing a huge challenge. After King T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) dies of an undisclosed illness, Ramonda (Angela Bassett), T’Challa’s mother, becomes the ruler. Her daughter Shuri (Letitia Wright) is under trauma for not being able to save the life of her… brother. Six months later, Ramonda attends a conference of the United Nations where various countries blame Wakanda for not being cooperative and for not providing them with vibranium. Ramonda makes it clear that the precious metal will not be shared with other countries for their destructive means. She also tells them how their facility in Wakanda was attacked. Meanwhile, the USA finds traces of vibranium somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. A team of researchers head to the spot using a machine built by a scientist. Suddenly, mysterious creatures appear and kill everyone on board the mining ship. The chief of this tribe, Namor (Tenoch Huerta), secretly reaches Wakanda and meets Ramonda and Shuri. He informs them about the USA’s plans to extract vibranium and how it was Wakanda that exposed the world to the wonders of the metal. They are told to find the scientist who built the machine and hand it to them or else he’ll harm Wakanda. Shuri along with Okoye (Danai Gurira) head to the USA and take the help of CIA agent Everett K Ross (Martin Freeman) to find the scientist. It turns out that the scientist is actually a 19-year-old student, Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne). Both find Riri and ask her to come to Wakanda. Unfortunately, the CIA arrives at the spot. Shuri, Okoye and Riri escape from their clutches but are then suddenly attacked by Namor and his army. Okoye fights bravely but is overpowered. Namor captures Shuri and Riri and takes them to his underwater kingdom of Takolan. Namor makes it clear that he wants to kill Riri as he fears that the ‘surface people’ will come once again to extract vibranium and thus might harm his kingdom. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
