In addition to becoming a worthy sequel to the first film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe nominated for an Oscar in the Best Picture category, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” had a difficult mission: to deal with the loss of Chadwick Boseman, died of cancer when filming had already begun. So the specialized press focuses its attention on this point, how ‘Black Panther 2’ fares without its protagonist and how it faces the duel.

Finding himself with the arduous task of saying goodbye to a tragically disappeared star in the prime of life, soberly but touching, Ryan Coogler manages to dive into Wakanda with a solid and elegant bet”says Brian Lowry on CNN.com, very much in line with what Kambole Campbell highlighted in Empire magazine. “‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ departs from the formula associated with Marvel movies and acts as a passionate farewell to Chadwick Boseman”. “Even though ‘Black Panther’ without Boseman looks nothing like what the creators of the film intended it to be, the resulting film looks unusually elegant and profound for a blockbuster”adds Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly. Even those less convinced of the proposal generally agree on Coogler’s mastery in saving chestnuts: “Although its dark narrative dominates until the moment someone steps in to take T’Challa’s place, ‘Wakanda Forever’ stands out for its depictions of pain”says Jake Cole in Slant Magazine.
There is also a general compliment to performances, especially female ones, with Peter Bradshaw pointing this out in The Guardian “Like the original, ‘Black Panther 2’ is full of bold and flamboyant gestures for the show; and while Letitia Wright, Michaela Coel, Angela Bassett, Danai Gurira and Dominique Thorne deliver fierce performanceseach of them raises the tension on the screen simply by being present “. Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune follows this line, contributing that in the tape “there is a real emotion” Y “Although Boseman’s loss is enormous, so is the talent level of the actors, who make the most of a pretty good sequel”. It also seems that Tenoch Huerta also fulfills his duties as a villain, because, according to Cole, though “It cannot compete with the crude charisma that Michael B. Jordan has emanated, he makes up for it by projecting a regal aspect worthy of Namor’s demigod status among his people”. In this regard, David Sims of The Atlantic, assures that said opponent is “full of security” which results in a “showdown as funny as it is unpredictable”.
Blurred emotions, but …
Rolling Stone’s K. Austin Collins describes “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” as a “chaotic range of feelings”while Nick Schager of The Daily Beast states it “The greatest superpower of this sequel turns out to be its sensitivity”. Even so, some critics aren’t completely convinced of the result because, as TheWrap’s Alonso Duralde comments, “There is a lot to enjoy and ‘Black Panther’ fans won’t necessarily be disappointed, but we start with the feeling that all these forces do not come together”. It’s not even convincing how his story tackles the future of the MCU without Boseman, with Screen International’s Tim Grierson noting that although “The film is often quite reflective in its exploration of pain, It wasn’t just done with what the loss of the actor means for the future of the saga”.
* “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” premieres in theaters this Friday 11 November.
