Ryan Coogler has returned with a sequel to his 2018 Black Panther film. Coogler has written and directed 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 as you may know, is the real protagonist of the film since Chadwick Boseman tragically passed away. I conjured a lot of hope as I stepped into the theatres to watch Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, hoping that the film is good. I knew this would hit my breaking point if I saw another mediocre venture from Marvel but Ryan Coogler managed to make this film work. As it happens, the audiences feels the same as Wakanda Forever continues to do great at the box office and in its illustrious run has become the Highest Grossing Female-led movie in the US. But if you’re waiting for the film to be available on streaming then you’re in luck.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Won’t Come To Disney Plus In January!
Wakanda Forever released in theatres on 11th November 2022, ever since then the sequel has been doing great at the box office where it almost made DC’s Black Adam struggle as the film became a financial failure. Wakanda Forever has earned $439 Million at the domestic box office meanwhile its worldwide cume is $821 Million. The sequel will make more money before it leaves theatres, however, considering the competition which is James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water, chances of the sequel earning anything significant are slim.
Disney understands this, by the way, Disney owns Marvel and consequently Black Panther: Wakanda Forever as well as the Avatar franchise. As Avatar is singlehandedly breaking records and demolishing any competition at the box office, Disney has found the best time to release Wakanda Forever on their streaming platform Disney+. The sequel would be available for streaming from 1st February 2023 onwards. This news of course comes a day after Disney+ Support team prematurely shared a wrong release date.
The support team had revealed that the sequel would release on Disney+ on 20th January 2023. Check it out below:
The new release date means that Wakanda Forever would be coming to streaming after 82 days. It exceeds the theatres to streaming gaps of Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’ at 70 days, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness had a record low gap of 47 days. While Thor: Love and Thunder took 62 days to be available for streaming after its theatre release.
