Well, this is gonna rock!
That’s right, the official trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has just landed and it looks epic! This is gonna be one intense movie and I’m here for it since the last few MCU movies all felt kinda meh! to me (it’s a personal thing, we all like different things).
Now, from what this looks like, I think it’s entirely possible that Namor (Tenoch Herta)…
Marvel Studios’ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever | Official Trailer

Synopsis
Queen Ramonda, Shuri, M’Baku, Okoye and the Dora Milaje, fight to protect their nation from intervening world powers in the wake of King T’Challa’s death. As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with the help of War Dog Nakia and Everett Ross and forge a new path for the kingdom of Wakanda.
Honestly, if Marvel had shared online ALL of the footage that was shown at D23, it probably would've been fine. But considering that this is the second time they've held back Quantumania footage from the majority of their audience as well as limiting viewers for Black Panther, Loki Season 2, and Echo footage, they really skimped out on us.
Yes, the Secret Wars trailer was amazing! So was Werewolf by Night, which although having only been officially announced today was not a surprise to anyone, nor was the casting. While good, yes, neither was the excitement I think most of us wanted.
I had been hopeful along with everyone else that we would learn our Fantastic Four cast today, so of course that is a major disappointment. What was even more disappointing for me personally was that the Matt Shakman directing rumours were true. I hate to come online and share negativity, but Wandavision was such a letdown for having started out so strong nor was I impressed with his manipulation of fan expectations with the Ralph Bohner twist, so I’m terrified. If he pulls a similar stunt in a movie as highly anticipated as the Fantastic Four, the consequences could be disastrous for the future of Marvel's 'First Family' in the MCU.
At this point, I feel we're more likely to know our Doctor Doom actor (through a Black Panther: Wakanda Forever post-credit scene that reveals his own operations fed into conflict and misunderstanding between Wakanda and Atlantis) than know the main team’s cast anytime soon. Even though they will probably only mention the character by name, it is our only chance of knowing anything before the New Year. When we do hear, however, I do believe that Nikolaj Coster-Waldau will be taking up the helm as he has allegedly already filmed a post-credit scene for Marvel (heavy emphasis on the allegedly so don’t @ me).
Where Marvel messed up was that they made no new casting announcements that had not already been leaked or practically been guaranteed through the announcement of the project:
Anthony Ramos was already pictured on the set of IronHeart.
The entire Thunderbolts cast was already known through the announcement of the film (Pugh, Stan, Russel, Louise-Dreyfus, Harbour, John-Kamen, and Kurylenko). They are probably holding onto their Zemo card for a future ‘plot twist’, but again, that reveal would surprise no one.
Ramirez and Lumbly were practically already confirmed for Captain America: New World Order. Tim Blacke Nelson's return really doesn't feel like a big deal with the extensive number of The Incredible Hulk alumnus we've seen return.
Daredevil: Born Again announced no new cast members, while confirming D'Onofrio will also be in Echo lowers the stakes of Maya's show as we know he'll make it through.
Marvel underestimated the comic knowledge as to what characters interact or are natural segways from one project into another. I'm a huge Marvel fan and have very rarely ever found myself disappointed by their announcements or decisions, but there is a first time for everything. Nothing that we didn't practically already know was announced, and underestimating the knowledge of their audience made the expo feel like merely a reiteration of SDCC.
Bill Murray will play a character, we don't know who yet
Confirmed that MODAK will appear
A snippet was shown to attendees. In it we see that Scott has written a book and he has some dialogue with Kang. (Dialogue below)
