Black Panther: Wakanda Forever shows the leaders of the kingdom of Wakanda fighting to protect their nation in the wake of King T’Challa’s death. This plot change was made following the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman in 2020, and Marvel decided to honor him by not recasting T’Challa.

The trailer has Angela Bassett’s Ramonda as Queen of Wakanda, fighting for her kingdom after losing her son. Letitia Wright will have a bigger role as Shuri, with Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Winston Duke, and Florence Kasumba returning to their roles from the previous film.

Ryan Coogler is also returning as a director and he reflected on Chadwick Boseman’s impact on this project at Comic-Con.

“We put our love for Chadwick into this film. We also put our passion. This film has a ton of action and humor. It’s also a roller coaster of a movie. It goes to new places in Wakanda that we’ve never been before but other corners of the MCU,” said Coogler.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is set to premiere on November 11, as the final film of the MCU’s Phase Four.

Variety reports that Lupita Nyong’o and Danai Gurira’s adaptation of the novel Americanah has been given a straight-to-series order at HBO Max, the premium cabler’s forthcoming streaming service. HBO Max has given the limited series a 10-episode order. 

The adaptation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s best-selling novel will be written and showrun by Gurira. Nyong’o will star and both will executive produce.

“Through Americanah, Chimamanda brought the African female voice into mainstream consciousness in an unprecedented way,” Gurira said in a statement of the original novel. “It is intellectually incisive, indicting, yet full of humor, and riddled with humanity. She makes unheard voices familiar, universal and yet palpably specific. I am honored to bring her incredible novel to life on the screen. I’m thrilled to collaborate once again with Lupita who brings her astounding ability as a performer and producer shepherding this project, along with HBO Max’s unbridled enthusiasm to bring this groundbreaking narrative to the TV audience.”

The project has been in development since 2014.

The Hollywood Reporter was first to report that Gurira, who joined AMC’s zombie drama is Season 3, will most likely exit the show in Season 10. The outlet further reports that Gurira aka Michonne has signed a deal to return for her final season of the hit drama. Her return, however, will be in a limited capacity, starring in a handful of episodes throughout Season 10. 

Gurira’s exit will follow Andrew Lincoln and Lauren Cohan both left the series earlier in Season 9. Lincoln will, however, star in the series of The Walking Dead TV movies, productions that Gurira is likely to join. 

“It’s not the beginning of the end, it’s the end of the beginning,” said Lincoln in a statement at the time. “And I like the idea that we get to tell a bigger story, maybe with a sort of wider vista. And I’ve always been interested in what’s going on out there, you know, whether or not there is contact with the wider world. I want to know the meta of it all. And I suppose to be able to kind of touch upon that in a contained story for me is a very exciting proposition… Maybe it’s the start of a bigger story.”

Gurira’s other credits include last year’s Black Panther. She also a Tony-nominated playwright.

The Walking Dead returns Sunday on AMC.
