Why Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Is The Perfect End To Phase 4
in many ways, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is in a similar position to 2012 The Avengers. That film concluded MCU Phase 1, the first of three phases of the Infinity Saga. Phase 4, which Black Panther: Wakanda Forever concludes, is also the first of three MCU phases that comprise the Multiverse Saga. Like The Avengersthen, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has the difficult task of feeling both as a dramatic culmination of events, as well as the beginning of a larger story.
although Black Panther: Wakanda Forever trailers have basically confirmed it won’t be a big team-up movie like The avengers the film certainly seems to be paving the way for the future. In addition to parting ways with T’Challa, a former Avenger, the sequel also introduces a new Black Panther, which is sure to play a major role in future MCU events. Not only that, but newcomers like Ironheart and Namor could also be key players in the rest of the Multiverse Saga. Although many questions remain Black Panther: Wakanda ForeverThe film is sure to be a thrilling, dramatic, and emotional conclusion to Phase 4 of the MCU.
