Critics demand more from these characters
Another person who had a special connection to T’Challa was Nakia. Lupita Nyong’o played T’Challa’s love interest in the 2018 film. However, critics pointed out that the creators should also have focused on her as much as they did on other characters.
Critics mention that Nakia makes a late entry into Wakanda Forever. However, the character still facilitates some memorable moments in the film’s second half. Although she and Shuri share emotional moments, it’s not as deep as the bond between Shuri and Queen Ramonda.
Another character is Winston Duke’s M’Baku. M’Baku’s character arc is also impressive. However, critics point out that the makers could have included more of him.
Black Panther 2 also sets up future projects that MCU is planning. It features Dominique Thorne as Iron Heart, which is set to appear in Disney+ iron heat series.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is set to release on November 11, 2022.
