Synopsis for our Wakanda Forever Movie Review

Directed by: Ryan Coogler

Story by: Ryan Coogler

Screenplay by: Ryan Coogler and Joe Robert Cole

Wakanda is in mourning after the loss of king T'Challa. Despite all of her technological advantages his sister Shuri was unable to save him. In the aftermath of T’Challa’s death, Queen Romanda tries to secure Wakanda’s future after the world eyes up Wakanda's source of power. But when she tells assembled world leaders that Wakanda will never share their Vibranium, some of the nations align to find their own.

In their rush to find Vibranium, the US uncover a deposit of the powerful material outside Wakanda, and awaken the hidden nation of Tolokan and their god king Namor. After destroying the ship to keep Tolokan hidden, Namor reaches out to join forces with the Wakandans, to find and kill the scientist who created a tool to find Vibranium.

Princess Shuri, still unable to fully process her grief, is brought on a field excursion with Okoya to find the young scientist, Riri Williams, after getting a lead from Everett Ross, but the Tolokans intercept them taking Shuri and Riri.

Meanwhile, Contessa Valentina Allegra De Fontaine has reconnected with her ex husband Everett Ross to investigate the Wakandan activities on US soil learning of the new society and Wakanda. She also learns of her former husband’s traitorous dealings with the Wakandans and has him arrested.

To rescue her daughter Shuri, Queen Romanda enlists the help of Nakia, who separated herself from Wakanda when T'Challa died. She's successful but brings the ire of Namor. The god of the Tolokans attacks Wakanda and drowns Queen Romanda leaving Shuri all alone, angry and vengeful.

Shuri regains the power of her ancestors to become the Black Panther. With a plan the Wakandans draw out Namor and the Tolokans to repay the attack on Wakanda. In the battle Shuri captures Namor, showing mercy to him instead of vengeance, and creating an uneasy alliance with the Tolokans.

In Wakanda M'Baku steps up to take the throne as Shuri goes to Haiti to finalise her period of mourning for T'Challa. Shuri meets Nakia and prince T'Challa son of king T'Challa.
