The first trailer for the much-awaited sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is out, giving us a first glimpse at the latest events happening within the world’s most powerful nation.
The trailer hints at an emotional funeral for the Black Panther himself, King T’Challa. Fans have expected this for a while now after actor Chadwick Boseman passed on in August of 2020. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige then said they will not recast or use CGI to bring T’Challa back on the big screen.
Watch the first trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever below:
The trailer opens with Nakia, Shuri, Okoye, Queen Ramonda, and the whole nation of Wakanda mourning for their King, while an emotional rendition of No Woman No Cry plays in the background. We are then introduced to the people of Atlantis and its leader, Namor the Sub-Mariner, who will act as the villain in the new film. We see war breaking out between the two nations, but before the trailer closes, a new hero in the Black Panther suit arrives– his or her identity undisclosed to the viewers.
Letitia Wright, Angela Bassett, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Winston Duke, and Martin Freeman are reprising their roles in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Also joining the cast are Tenoch Huerta as Namor and Dominique Thorne debuting as Ironheart.
Directed by Ryan Coogler, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is set for US release on November 11, 2022.

Mula sa Buwan is an original Filipino musical based on Edmond Rostand’s timeless classic Cyrano de Bergerac. However, this is not your usual Cyrano. Although it retains the plot of unrequited love, question of beauty and the relentless battle against compromise, the beloved story has been reimagined to tell a more familiar story: OURS.
Now set in 1940’s Manila, the musical now features wide-eyed dreamers, fools, and misfits where harana, kundiman, together with passion and genuine friendships abound! Through wit, stories, and music, they dream and fight for their place in an ever-changing city. However, when war strikes, love, ideals, and truth are all tested–the young now forced to suddenly “grow up”.
The musical moves to a time after the war, to a field of rubble, of forgotten memories, of heroes lost in a country struggling to survive. At the center of it all is the unrequited and heartbreaking love story between the poet Cyrano, his beloved Roxane, and the kind-hearted Christian.
Created by Pat Valera and William Elvin Manzano in 2010, Mula sa Buwan has been staged numerous times with each version (GSIS Theater; 2011, Irwin Theater; 2016, Arete; 2018) becoming ever more spectacular—without losing the raging love of the play.
