Black Panther Wakanda Forever is the most important Marvel film in years; it can make or break the franchise

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which releases in a month’s time, is certainly the most important Marvel film

A new Black Panther takes charge in the sequel, following the death of Chadwick Boseman

There are two methods of wanting on the Marvel Cinematic Universe presently

Some may argue that it has by no means been larger and higher

[{"selector":"#anim-3f72a5db-7d0f-4097-b6e0-72709c5a480e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 25%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The first half is true and the second debatable, however clearly, the MCU has unfold its branches out in so many instructions

[{"selector":"#anim-62627016-6fde-4567-98dc-1eec1065b6d1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(8.327879328287024%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Amid all this comes Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

[{"selector":"#anim-ab8554f8-5cc9-4ff2-8917-d57b2df122bf [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The film, and its fate, is vital for the future of the MCU at large and, to an extent, the superhero genre as well

[{"selector":"#anim-dd506701-cc9c-47d5-8396-36ec7ae1b4ce [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-16.616210734928462%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

MCU has divided its storytelling in phases, a phase is bookended by tentpole films

[{"selector":"#anim-f04e9675-2f79-4c01-b949-b008484cd44b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(15.199999788834953%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

The ongoing Phase Four, as many fans have noted, lacks an Avengers film.

[{"selector":"#anim-bb48f80c-3674-4c9a-8dc9-5e68e49dd311 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-35.1710936363395%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

In reality, the subsequent Avengers movie — The Kang Dynasty — is a part of Phase Six, and releases in 2025

[{"selector":"#anim-fd080aad-e4cb-4c8c-aecd-ada43c56ccad [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -10.004999132390004%, 0) translate(0%, -25%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]
