Wakanda Forever (2022)

 

In which Namor, the Submariner, prince of... Talokon, wants help from the Wakandas to protect the world's supply of vibranium from the surface dwellers.  Nations are demanding Wakanda shares it, and some are trying to steal it from Wakanda.  There is also a young scientist Riri Williams who built a vibraniun detector.  This leads to a battle between Namor and his Talokan warriors against the NEW Black Panther and the Wakandans.  Shuri finally comes to terms with being a ruler and the Panther, and they make peace with Namor.

This is a long movie, but it moved quickly, so surprisingly, I have no complaints about that.  There was a lot going on, and possibly could have cut out some of it.  Why Marvel has to introduce new characters in every movie is beyond me.  Surprisingly, there were no cameo appearances, but Val shows up with Everett Ross, as his former wife.  She is the new head of the CIA, which scares me a little.

While Chadwick Boseman is not in the movie, his presence is felt all the way through it.  Marvel honored him with this movie.
