And poor Chadwick Boseman, rest his soul, is no more. And that means there’s a hole in this sequel that can’t be filled.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is basically a film about women warriors with Marvel bling. I challenge anyone watching the trailers to tell me who the lead is, or what the story’s about.
You might presume that the most prominent character is Angela Bassett‘s Ramonda, the grieving Queen Mother of Wakanda, but Letitia Wright‘s Shuri is apparently the one carrying the ball…the quarterback, if you will.
The trailers don’t suggest this, of course. The trailers are saying, in fact, that this film has no center, no gravity.
Honestly? I don’t even want to see it. It looks like a headache, a slog.
