PHIL ON FILM: PhilVillarreal says 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' falls short of expecations.
TUCSON, Ariz. — It's disappointing, if unsurprising, that"Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" buckles under the shadow of its own expectations.
Boseman died in 2020, and the production — like Wakanda in the plot — is left with a gaping hole and lack of overarching purpose or direction. Many members of the star-studded cast returned, but with no Boseman and no one able to replicate his charisma, the sequel is muddled and creaky. The story in the second outing focuses on Shuri , the little sister of Boseman's T'Challa. The previously hidden technotopia realm of Wakanda — newly discovered on the global scene — is struggling to maintain its distance from global powers while being entangled in international bickering over use of Wakanda's precious vibranium supply.
Enlisting the aid of Nakia , Shuri seeks out American tech genius Riri Williams and attempts to keep Wakanda safe and find a way to re-light the fire dimmed by T'Challa's death.
