Just five days before Black Panther: Wakanda Forever officially hits theaters, Marvel has released yet another teaser clip. A new television spot has surfaced online, which sees the titular hero, currently unknown, fighting against Tenoch Huerta’s Namor in a one-on-one brawl. The footage gives fans a glimpse of Namor’s threat as the film’s villain. The new identity of the Black Panther is concealed, though the clip shows that the new suit is dressed in black and gold. The new footage also teases a major flood and the ensuing battle. In the comics, Namor’s kingdom has often been depicted to be in frequent war with Wakanda due to Wakanda’s abundance in vibranium. The synopsis teased that Namor’s human father was in search of the material in Antarctica, highlighting a complicated history betw...

Ahead of the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Marvel fans have been eagerly awaiting the return to Wakanda since. Director Ryan Coogler recently sat down with Cinema Blend to confirm the fate of Daniel Kaluuya‘s character W’Kabi after his defeat in the first film. Coogler offered a clear answer to the mystery of one of Black Panther‘s secondary antagonists explaining, “Yeah, he’s basically banished, but still in Wakanda’s borders. Yeah, does that make sense? So, there’s one line [in Wakanda Forever] that refers to him still being alive.” The update gives a valuable explanation to the character who fans saw defeated in the last film when he was held at spearpoint by his own wife. W’Kabi’s banishment was a direct result of his actions when he was skeptical of king T’Challa’s rule. ...

Today, November 6, is Stranger Things Day. Oh, you didn’t know? Well, here’s an easy way to remember: it’s exactly one week on from Halloween, and — the important part — on this day in 1983, in a small (fictional) midwestern town called Hawkins, Indiana, a boy went missing. His name was Will Byers, and his friends — determined to find him when most of the town had given up searching — would embark on a mission that would hook millions of viewers, stretch over four seasons (so far), and introduce the world to Eleven, a mysterious, shaved-headed, hospital-gown-wearing girl with superpowers. A little over six years ago, in the summer of 2016, the first season of Stranger Things debuted on our screens. It featured a then unknown cast of young teen actors playing parts based in a world two deca...

Two years after the shocking death of Chadwick Boseman from a battle with colon cancer, Black Panther director Ryan Coogler has now shared his final conversation with the late actor. Coogler discussed his last interaction with Boseman in the latest episode of Wakanda Forever: The Official Black Panther Podcast. “My last conversation with him was calling to ask if he wanted to read [the script] before I got notes from the studio,” said Ryan Coogler. “That was the last time we spoke. He passed maybe a couple weeks after I finished.” “I could tell he was laying down when we were talking,” noting how tired Boseman sounded with his wife Simone Ledward Boseman beside him. “He kicked Simone out because he told her he didn’t want her to hear nothing that could get him in trouble with his NDA.” Cha...
