The last thirty seconds of the trailer shows what Black Panther 2, is a roller coaster ride full of thrill, emotions and nail-biting action.Ī post shared by Marvel Entertainment would, of course, be a cardinal sin to not mention just how powerful Angela Bassett, who plays Mother Ramonda, was in the trailer. The trailer ends with words ‘Wakanda Forever’ appearing on the screen. The action culminates with Black Panther’s claws coming out in one sequence. Each second feels more powerful than the previous. In the background, Bob Marley’s classic hit No Woman No Cry and Kendrick Lamar’s Alright plays in unison - the beat of the drums gets louder with each passing second as the action on-screen gets more intense. Somewhere in the middle, we also see T’Challa’s mural in the backdrop as two African drummers engage in dancing and merry-making. We need to mourn the person who is coming into this world - we don’t know if he will be a lawyer or a thief and how long he’ll live.” It speaks volumes that director Ryan Coogler chose to address Boseman’s demise (and therefore, T’Challa’s demise) in the film and honoured him with a powerful eulogy. For me, when a person dies, you know what the person meant to you and that is why we must celebrate them. We need to celebrate the dead and not mourn it. Benjamin, one of the members of the dancing Ghana pallbearers group, explained why some African funerals are marked with dance and celebration - “We need people to know that there’s life after death. In lockdown 2020, the dancing pallbearers meme went viral. The trailer opens with what seems like a funeral to T’Challa with all the Wakandans dressed in white as they dance - a practice often seen across funerals in various African tribes.

Here’s a complete breakdown of the trailer that has the world by chokehold. There were, of course, many moments in the trailer that stood out - from new characters being introduced to hints about who might be the next Black Panther. They bounced back and completed the film and paid a fitting emotional tribute to Boseman and carried his legacy forward. Despite suffering multiple setbacks, the cast and crew of Black Panther 2 showed incredible grit and courage. Letitia Wright who plays Shuri, T’Challa’s sister, suffered an injury on the sets because of which the production was shut down in 2021. The Covid-19 pandemic played spoilsport as multiple actors tested positive on set. For the uninitiated, Black Panther 2 has been plagued by multiple setbacks starting with the tragic demise of Boseman due to colon cancer in August 2020. The 2 minute 11 second teaser trailer is full of action, emotion and a gut-wrenching tribute to late actor Chadwick Boseman that will surely move you to tears.
