1.)
It is still unknown what the cause of death will be for T’Challa in the MCU.
2.)
The absence of T’Challa and Namor’s rise is no coincidence.
Wakanda’s perceived exposure after losing its leader seems to be a major plot point of the upcoming sequel.
Outside forces and governments consider Wakanda a weakened state with the world’s most valuable resource.
From the trailer, it seems Namor has bigger goals than just vibranium.
The battle between land and sea could be an"eternal war,“according to the trailer.
3.)
SinceBlack Panther, Okoye has gained experience as an Avenger which will be useful in the upcoming film.
Look for this potential infighting storyline to be a piece of this movie’s puzzle.
4.)
She seems to be one of those government agent characters Marvel Studios love to use.
M’agency Bakuyu Tells The Story Of Namor
His people…do not call him general or king.
They call him K’uk’ulkan.
The feathered serpent god.
Winston Duke’s M’Bakutells the story of Namorand the legend behind him.
This implies that Wakanda knows of this underwater threat and pays him the respect of fear.
6.)
This would continue Marvel Studios' attempt to ground the afterlife within superhero stories, just likeMoon Knight.
K’uk’ulkan first debuted in 1948 and was later the puppet master for El Tigre in the 60s.
The first official depiction in Marvel Comics was in an Encyclopedia special edition in 2009.
This reveals his alignment with the Mayan gods, which seems to influence this iteration of Namor inWakanda Forever.
7.)
M’Baku’s reference to"eternal war"is a nod to the Wakandan/Atlantean war from Marvel Comics.
This gives a suspenseful tone toWakanda Foreverthat pairs perfectly with the vulnerability of the main characters.
8.)
Royalty vs. Royalty
The oncoming war will bring Namor face-to-face with the Queen of Wakanda.
Will Riri suit up in the moment to save the Queen?
9.)
Queen Meets King
Angela Bassett’s Queen Ramonda has been the trailers' lead narrator and focal point.
10.)
Okoye’s signature staff can stop oncoming traffic while a new armored hero is shown providing air support.
There is fun to be had in this nearly 3-hour movie as well.
11.)
Introducing Riri Williams, aka Ironheart
The best look yet at the next generation of theIron Manfranchise.
Riri Williams’s homemade Ironheart suitjoins the fightas she flies into action.
Multiple shots from the trailerdirectly parallel the first flight of Tony Stark all the way back in 2008’sIron Man.
12.)
The Throne Of Wakanda
One of the main focuses of these trailers has been the empty throne of Wakanda.
This likely foreshadows that Namor is not just coming for Wakandan resources but Wakanda itself.
The symbolism of an empty throne gives audiences a sense of vacancy that this movie will look to fill.
After his father’s passing, he was given the title of King.
The focus will be on who comes out of this movieas the next Black Panther.
That does not necessarily mean that person will also be the leader of Wakanda.
Show Them Who You Are
This is how to make an entrance.
The diamond styling on the mask matches the makeup Shuri has worn throughout her MCU career.
Letitia Wright’s Shuri has everything needed to be a major player in the MCU moving forward.
She is one of, if not THE most intelligent person on Earth-616.
She has a claim to the throne in Wakanda and thematically has lost almost everything.
Wright’s chemistry with Chadwick Boseman in 2018’sBlack Pantherwas one of the many highlights of the Oscar-winning film.
For her to fill those shoes is a daunting and poetic task.
All that is needed for the Shuri character is the training to become Black Panther.
(Super sneaky, longshot, dark horse theory suggests that this might be Nakia in this suit.)
Wakanda Foreverwill be many things.
A continuation of one of the most important movies in comic book history.
An action-packed blockbuster that will introduce multiple future players in the MCU.
Emotions will run high, and tears will be shed.
It is important to remember that in Wakandan culture,“Death is not the end.
It is more of a jumping-off point.”
This franchise will celebrate its past while jumping into the future in theaters on November 11.
