Black Panther Wakanda Forever is a great movie. It’s full of action and jokes. It is a great movie to watch after you see Endgame. It is easily the best movie in phase 4 so far.
The actors in Wakanda Forever are Letitia Wright as Shuri, Tenoch Huerta as Namor, Angela Bassett as Ramonda, Dominique Thorne as Ironheart, Lupita Nyong’o as Nakia, Mabel Cadena as Namora, Danai Gurira as Okoye, Winston Duke as M’Baku, Michaela Coel as Aneka, Martin Freeman as Everett K. Ross, and Alex Livinalli as Atuma.
Wakanda Forever is rated a 3.9. Critics say it is a good movie but is a little slow and boring. There isn’t a lot of action as we were all thinking there would be. But it is still a decent movie.
Directing the movie was Ryan Coogler. According to IMDb Ryan Kyle Coogler is an African-American filmmaker and producer who is from Oakland, California. He is known for directing the Black Panther film series, Creed, a Rocky spin-off and Fruitvale Station. He says, “working with Tems, Rihanna, and Göransson was a rewarding experience.”

They find her and Riri brings them to her warehouse and then the American army comes out and tries to capture Riri. But Shuri, Okoye, and Riri escape.

Namor gets his army ready for war. The Kakokans attack Wakanda and Namor kills Queen Romana. Wakanda has another BIG funeral. Riri finds Shuri in her lab and they have a long talk. But then Shuri decides to try to recreate the heart shaped herb. While Shuri is trying to recreate the heart shaped herb, Riri is creating something of her own. Shuri recreates the heart shaped herb and becomes the black panther. Wakanda and Takokan have a MASSIVE fight. Shuri and Namor fight each other and in the end Shuri wins and is about to kill Namor but then she realized that would not be what T’challa and Queen Romana would have wanted and they make a truce.
In conclusion Black Panther Wakanda Forever is a really great movie. It is easily the best movie in phase four yet. This is a movie you definitely want to watch after Endgame.
