Know more about the movie
A sequel to 2018's Black Panther, Wakanda Forever made the headlines when the first installment's lead actor Chadwick Boseman passed away even before the filming started.
After several delays due to the actor's absence, the film was finally rewritten and it hit the theaters on November 11, 2022.
The makers did not recast Boseman but paid tribute to him in a fitting way.
