SPOILERS for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, What If...? Season 3, and any MCU TV/Film released up to June 2025.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was first released in late 2022.

The series Ironheart, featuring Riri Williams who first debuted in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, releases on June 24, 2025.

With the exception of What If...? S03E05 "What If... the Emergence Destroyed the Earth?", we haven't seen Riri Williams in ~2.5 years.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is also just a great film.

I rewatched this recently myself and I liked it a lot more the second time. It's still pretty flawed but it really shines in the first and second acts. Which isn't surprising considering the things that makes it shine are what made the original shine. That is wakanda itself. The world building. It's such an interesting setting. Namur and a hidden civilization is an awesome idea. World tension and renewed colonial intentions of the west needing to be resisted was awesome if under explored. Angela Bassett.

That said it had some problems. I still don't find Shuri to be a good lead character. She was better supporting. Riri Williams seemed unnecessary and superfluous. The third act was just janky and underwhelming. Special effects particularly hurt it. Most of all though they should have just recast T'Challa.
