Hot off the digital presses! Our spoiler-free review of BlackPantherWakandaForever ahead of its release in cinemas this week...
central premise, one that takes the first Black Panther's sociopolitical plot to another level entirely, all while never forgetting to be, y'know, a fun Marvel blockbuster filled with huge action set pieces.
But the biggest takeaway from all of this is that Wakanda Forever probably deserves to land Marvel's first acting Oscar win.As mentioned, while there is plenty of world-building and universe moving plot threads throughout the movie, including the introduction of Riri Williams aka Ironheart , some more background information on Everett Ross , and a few more arrivals we won't spoil here, the big thumping heart of this movie is the reaction to the death of T'Challa.
The character's loss is perfectly portrayed by the four most important women in his life. Shuri loses herself in her technology to distract from her older brother's passing; Nakia decided that some physical distance from Wakanda was the best way for her to mourn; and Okoye reveals some tremendous hidden depths to her Dora Milaje leader.
All three of these actresses bring their absolute A-game to their roles, but all eyes will be on Angela Bassett as Queen Ramonda, and Disney and Marvel should put all of their weight behind a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for her. Having recently lost her husband, and now her son, both of them kings, and incensed that the world wants to take advantage of these losses, she is all righteous fury in public, but displays necessary vulnerability with her family and friends.
But mostly you'll walk away with memories of one of the best Marvel movies to date, one of the most emotionally-resonating blockbusters of recent years, and one of the greatest performances of 2022.WATCH: Brendan Gleeson & Colin Farrell on The Banshees Of Inisherin, Ireland's natural beauty & Joker 2!
