Black Panther 2 reasons for success
Black Panther: Wakanda Foreverhas been quite a name in the recent days of Marvel Studios. The recently released movie has acclaimed great success in such a short period.
The movie deals with the loss of their king T’Challa, after which his sister Shuri becomes the new Black Panther. The movie also features Tenoch Huerta as Namor, who acts as an antagonist to the nation of Wakanda. Director Ryan Coogler was well-appreciated for giving Namor’s character depth rather than just naming him as the bad guy, despite the lack of much original material on him from the comics.

The movie’s cast of black people, as well as the portrayal of strong women characters in lead, breaks the walls of racism as well as patriarchy in one go. Also, Shuri being the successor of T’Challa as the next Black Panther is indicative of how slowly, but steadily, the nation of Wakanda is ready to move on.
The mid-credits of the movie reveal T’Challa’s son with Nakia, which could be quite the opening for a possible Black Panther 3.
Black Panther: Wakanda Foreveris now out in theatres worldwide.Doctor Strange 2is currently streaming on Disney+
