Marvel unveiled the trailer for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday as the cast moves forward without late actor Chadwick Boseman.
The trailer features a lyrical motif of “We Gon’ Be Alright” from Kendrick Lamar’s song, “Alright.” The video also includes footage of Wakanda’s surroundings and what appears to be a funeral, with many Wakandans dressed in white.
The video shows someone in a Black Panther outfit, although it’s still unclear who’s wearing the outfit. Boseman’s character T’Challa was the Black Panther in the original film.

Boseman tragically passed away in August 2020 after a private four-year battle with colon cancer.
The trailer reveals that the film will follow the rest of T’Challa’s family as they seem to come to terms with their loss.
Writer-director Ryan Coogler reflected on the death of the first film’s star actor on stage at the Comic-Con event. Coogler had worked on the first “Black Panther” film.

“It’s going to be hard to follow, but we’re going to try,” Coogler said. “I haven’t been here in five years. I sat there and we premiered the first footage of ‘Black Panther 1,’ and sitting next to me was our T’Challa, the great Chadwick Boseman.”
Coogler also offered some insight into the new film. He said it “goes to new places in Wakanda that we haven’t seen before, and it goes to new places in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.”

Much of the original film’s cast will return for the sequel, including Angela Bassett, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira and Letitia Wright.
“It’s a blessing. We’ve all grown so much as a family, and it’s great to see them and honor the big brother at the same time,” Wright said.
Meanwhile, Michaela Coel, Dominique Thorne, Alex Nivilani, Mabel Cadena and Tenoch Huerta will join the series as newcomers for the upcoming film.
