The runtime of the next Marvel movie, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever would have been revealed and it is long.
Mid-2020, the black panthertar Chadwick Boseman has passed away after a battle with cancer. At this point, the second film in the franchise, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was already in development. This led to the question of whether or not the character would be recast or if the series would go in another direction.
The first trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was revealed at San Diego Comic-Con in 2022, showing that it would be the latter. This raised the question of who would wear the iconic outfit, with recent LEGO and FUNKO Pops sets suggesting it will be Shuri. Either way, now it looks like the movie will have plenty of time to figure out who T’Challa’s true successor will be.
According to the Cineplex website, the film will run for two hours and forty-one minutes. The runtime has since been removed, but, if true, that would make it the longest running Marvel Cinematic Universe solo film to be released. The oldest solo film currently is Eternals which elapses at two hours and thirty-seven minutes.
Here is the synopsis of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever:
“In Marvel Studios’ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), Shuri (Letitia Wright), M’Baku (Winston Duke), Okoye (Danai Gurira) and Dora Milaje (including Florence Kasumba), fight to protect their nation from world powers intervening in the wake of King T’Challa’s death. As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with the help of War Dog Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) and Everett Ross (Martin Freeman) and chart a new course for the kingdom of Wakanda.
Directed by Ryan Coogler from a screenplay he co-wrote with Joe Robert Cole, the film stars Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Winston Duke, Florence Kasumba, Dominique Thorne, Michaela Coel, Tenoch Huerta, Martin Freeman and Angela Bassette.
