In the first trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Marvel transports viewers back to Wakanda. The trailer moves between shots of Wakanda's aquatic settings, futuristic technology, and what appears to be a funeral with crowds of Wakandans dressed in white while using the lyrical motif of We're going to be alright from Kendrick Lamar's Alright as its soundtrack.

Ramonda, played by Angela Bassett, says, "I am Queen of the most powerful nation in the world, and my entire family is gone."

Who will assume the mantle of the Black Panther? There is a question that hangs over the trailer. At the end of the trailer, a figure wearing the hero's suit is visible, albeit it isn't made clear who is wearing it.

The video made its debut towards the end of Marvel Studios' enormous panel on Saturday night at San Diego Comic-Con, which was preceded by a fanfare for the subsequent panel performed by a troupe of traditional African singers.

The first Black Panther's writer-director, Ryan Coogler, then spoke on the subject of the follow-up while reflecting on the passing of Chadwick Boseman, the series' original lead. The principal actor, T'Challa Boseman, passed away in August 2020 after a four-year private struggle with colon cancer.

According to Variety, Coogler said that it will be challenging to follow that up, but they will try. The filmmaker hasn't been here in five years. The late, great Chadwick Boseman, who played T'Challa, sat next to him as they screened the first clip from Black Panther.

The filmmaker revealed that Boseman was reportedly squeezing Coogler's shoulder as he watched the first scene. He added that he could already feel the late actor's hand on him.

The sequel will travel to new locations in Wakanda that we haven't seen before, and it will go to new places in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, according to Coogler, who also provided some details about it.

The cast of Black Panther was then unveiled by director Ryan Coogler on the Comic-Con stage, including Lupita Nyong'o, Letitia Wright, Danai Gurira, Florence Kasumba, and Winston Duke.

Duke said of the follow-up that it's a labour of love, and he has so much gratitude to be a part of it and be able to share it with the fans. It's a good thing. Wright said that it feels amazing to see the fans and celebrate with big bro (Boeseman) at the same time because they have all matured so much as a family.

Michaela Coel, Dominique Thorne, Alex Nivilani, Mabel Cadena, and Tenoch Huerta, all newcomers to the series, also joined the panel. Huerta will play Namor, the Submariner, a beloved character from Marvel Comics.

Huerta expressed his excitement and happiness at being present. He said he has a quick statement to make on inclusivity. He was brought here by inclusion despite coming from the neighbourhood. Without inclusiveness, he wouldn't be here.

Coel stated that seeing the drummers and dancers is an incredible experience. The musical performance that started the panel is fantastic. It brought to mind what a privilege it was to back this cast.

On November 11, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will hit the big screens.
