Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is the only MCU movie left this year, and it’ll be the final film in Phase 4.

The revelation came at Comic-Con this past Saturday, when Marvel revealed its roadmap through the end of 2025, a year that will give us two Avengers movies.

Marvel also released the first emotional Wakanda Forever trailer without disclosing who will take up the Black Panther mantle in the sequel.

Even without a trailer, we know the movie has to explain T’Challa’s (Chadwick Boseman) absence. The actor passed away a few years ago after a bout with cancer.

After that, Marvel decided not to recast the role for the first sequel, a fitting way to honor Boseman’s legacy.

However, we might know who the next Black Panther is thanks to a massive Wakanda Forever plot leak. This is the second plot leak for the sequel in a matter of weeks.
