That’s only partially true of the upcoming movie, but it does have a hell of a line-up including Sebastian Stan’s Winter Soldier, David Harbour’s Red Guardian, Hannah John-Kamen’s Ghost, Wyatt Russell’s U.S. Agent, Olga Kurylenko’s Taskmaster, Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, and Julia Louis-Dreyfuss as the Countess when it arrives on July 26, 2024.

Image: Marvel StudiosThe Comic-Con trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was a somber, mournful affair that couldn’t be anything but after the sudden passing of Chadwick Boseman. And though much of the film will be about the film’s returning characters (and their real life stars) grieving, Wakanda Forever is going to show the wider ramifications of T’Challa’s death. Namely, that the rest of the world considers Wakanda ripe for the picked. As reported by Germain Lussier on the show floor, Wakanda Forever’s D23 footage…

Mexican actor Tenoch Huerta will be making his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut with the upcoming film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The actor portrays Namor the Submariner, a popular superhero, who is being brought to the big screen for the first time. However, no everyone seems happy with his casting. On Tuesday, Marvel artist Mike Deodato Jr posted – and then deleted – a comparison of his own body with the actor’s, criticising his physique. Fans, however, did not take too kindly to the body shaming, with many…

Image: Marvel StudiosSequels to Marvel films always have high expectations thrust upon them, but none of them have the expectations that Black Panther’s does. Wakanda Forever is an unenviable position, both as the follow up to a critical and commercial success that became the first superhero film to receive a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars, and also as a film that has the shadow of lead actor Chadwick Boseman’s death hovering around it.This is something that Marvel Studios and director/writer Ryan Coogler were…

Here it is, the final shot of the Wakanda Forever trailer; a gold-decorated Black Panther suit. Eric Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan), who was also known as N’Jadaka, famously wore a similar suit in 2018's Black Panther and was a Wakandan Emperor (as Black Panther) in one of the comic runs. Is this Killmonger, who very much died in the first movie, back again? Perhaps it’s Shuri, who took up the suit in the comics, or Nakia, who (again, in the comics) became an enemy of Wakanda and an ally of Killmonger. Hell, maybe it’s…

Plenty of names are familiar to us already, but there’s a few new details, including the name of Captain America 4, New World Order, and, oh... did we mention Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio will return as Daredevil and Kingpin for an 18 episode Disney+ series? Here’s everything we saw and their release…

Screenshot: Marvel StudiosJust how could the MCU continue to expand the world of Wakanda after the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman? We just got a taste, as Marvel took to San Diego Comic-Con to give us a look at Ryan Coogler’s daunting Black Panther sequel.Introduced by director Ryan Coogler and the cast of Wakanda Forever—including Tenoch Huerta, officially confirmed to be playing the classic Marvel Comics anti-hero Namor the Submariner, who in the comics was the publisher’s first Mutant character and King of Atlantis…
