Not enough screen time for Bast 😭 wish I had more. Also noticed how the god Wakandan and Atlantean sat next to each other… foreshadowing their war in the movie Black Panther 2

Depending on your areas of interest: The internet cringes as Thor: Love and Thunder gets the worst Rotten Tomatoes rating in the Thor franchise, officially lower than Zack Snyder’s Justice League
Before being officially credited under the name of Bastet in Thor: Love and Thunderthe actress was also present off-screen during the start of Black Panther in an uncredited role. Thus, this film marks Bast’s first official entry into the MCU.
How is Bast relevant to the plot of the Black Panther sequel?
The sequel to the hugely popular Black Panther addresses the issue of the death of their beloved King T’Challa. The film is a tribute to the late actor Chadwick Boseman, who died of cancer in recent years.

After King T’Challa’s death, there is a struggle for the throne of Wakanda. In this turmoil and chaos, a power struggle erupts over who can take the mantle, climb the steps, and take the vibranium throne for themselves. And in the midst of the power struggle is Namor, the king of an Atlantis-like kingdom who wants to protect his territories from humans. And it looks like he too is fighting to take the throne of Wakanda.
We won’t spoil the next movie for you, but according to comic book lore, Bast refuses to allow [spoiler] to be the next Black Panther.
So, it’s very likely that Bast is yet to come if Marvel decides to respect and approach comic book lore.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is set for release on November 11, 2022 and will mark the end of Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
