Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever is the newest Marvel film and it is a direct sequel to the 2018 Black Panther that was lead by Chadwick Boseman. The film’s events are set sometime after Endgame. Ryan Coogler has returned to write and direct the sequel. The film stars Letitia Wright, Angela Basset, Lupita Nyong’o, Martin Freeman, Winston Duke, Tenoch Huerta, Danai Gurira, etc. Letitia Wright’s Shuri is the real protagonist of the film as Chadwick Boseman has tragically passed away. The film was pretty much marketed as something that addresses grief everyone was experiencing after Boseman’s passing. The film just like any other Marvel had great first reactions but more than anything the one that caught my attention was that it was a mature film unlike other MCU ventures.
The last few Marvel films have deeply disappointed me to the point where I questioned my choice of films. However, I deeply respect and believe in Ryan Coogler as a filmmaker. So, I wanted to see what he had to bring in this array of disappointments that Marvel is churning out. The trailers for the film looked absolutely stunning and heart pounding. I conjured a lot of hope as I stepped into the theatres to watch Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, hoping that the film is good, as I knew this would be my breaking point if I saw another mediocre venture from Marvel and it seems like Ryan Coogler has just managed to make this film work and if you’ve not watched the film because you’re waiting for it come on Disney+ then that doesn’t seem like a good plan.
Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever Won’t Come On Disney Plus This Year!
Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever is all set to debut on Disney+ next year according to Deadline. Some of the fans had predicted that given the timing of the film’s release, the film would start streaming on Disney+ during the Holiday Season i.e., after the day of Christmas as many families would like to watch the film in their houses with their families. However, it looks like Marvel doesn’t plan to add the film to their streaming platform anytime sooner. This might be because of the new Holiday Special as well.
“As we mentioned previously, a robust theatrical window is ahead, a bare minimum of 45 days, with no plans for the Ryan Coogler directed and written movie to land on Disney+ at the end of the year (ala Strange World). While exhibition has received word that Disney’s animated Thanksgiving release Strange World will hit Disney+ in time for the year-end holidays, there’s a robust theatrical window ahead for Wakanda Forever, definitely more than 45 days, I understand, with no plans for a holiday drop on the studio’s OTT service.”
New films are supposed to stay in theatres at least 45 days and that will be 26th December, given that by that time Avatar 2 would’ve released which would significantly outperform Wakanda Forever, it might’ve been a good choice to have the movie debut on Disney+. The film is as of now doing great at the box office which is why Marvel wants it stay in theatres as long as possible however, it won’t stand a chance against Avatar 2. The film that was made on a budget of $250 Million has until now earned back $355 Million.
The film’s collections pushed Disney’s annual collections passed $3 Billion in 2022. I think Wakanda Forever will start streaming on Disney+ from 20th January 2023.
