“I promise you, I feel his hand on me right now,” said Black Panther: Wakanda Forever director Ryan Coogler, remembering late star Chadwick Boseman.
“Chad’s passion and genius and his culture and the impact he had on this industry will be felt forever,” the director continued at the film’s launch in Comic-Con Hall H, where the film’s first trailer was unveiled.

“We put our love for Chadwick into this film. We also put our passion. This movie has a lot of action and humor. It’s also a roller coaster of a movie. It’s going to new places in Wakanda that we’ve never been to, but in other corners of the MCU.”
“The Wakanda universe is expanding and you have a lot to look forward to,” said Lupita Nyong’o.
“It’s a blessing, we’ve grown so much. It’s an honor to bring you this film and to honor Big Brother,” Leticha Wright said of the sequel honoring Oscar nominee Boseman.
Dominic Thorne said: “I think we all know that the impact that Black Panther has had on the world is indelible, indescribable, it’s physical, emotional, mental and most of all, spiritual. So to be a part of returning to the screen and highlighting these beautiful stories from this much-needed perspective is a blessing.”
Said Tenoch Huerta, who is joining the cast, “I want to say something real quick about inclusion. I’m coming from the hood. Seriously. And it’s thanks to the inclusion that I’m here. I wouldn’t be here without inclusion and a lot of kids are here in their hoodies looking at us, dreaming of being here. And them [can] do it.”
The trailer shows Angela Bassett’s Ramonda as the queen of Wakanda. There is a war with another tribe and armed forces as antagonists. Houses are burning. We see someone wearing the Black Panther costume at the end, but we don’t know who it is. A version of Wailer’s “No Woman No Cry” is played, as this is very much a woman’s story. Among the new surroundings of Wakanda we see our beaches. Ramonda is seen giving an angry speech: ‘My whole family is gone’
Before the cast and Coogler took the stage, a huge African musical troupe entered Hall H and raised the roof.
Feige previously said that Phase 4 will end with Wakanda Forever on November 11 of this year.
