Why Wakanda Forever's End Credit Scene in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Is the Best in Marvel History

 There is only one end credits scene in Wakanda Forever, and it is in the middle. Shortly after the movie concludes, Shuri (Letitia Wright) is still sobbing as she burns her burial robe on a beach in Haiti, bringing an end to her mother's and her brother's grief as well. When Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o) arrives to join her at that point, she is not alone. She is accompanied by a young boy. We learn that he goes by the name Toussaint (Divine Love Konadu-Sun) and that T'Challa and Nakia are his parents. Which does really make him the heir apparent to Wakanda's throne.

Nakia clarifies T'Challa remained covert because he wanted Toussaint to mature free of the demands of the crown. Added knowledge

  The revelation of T'Challa's son not only has a powerful emotional impact, but it also clarifies other unresolved plot threads. For instance, the movie leaves us wondering why T'Challa's girlfriend Nakia didn't attend his funeral. We don't even find out why she left Wakanda or how she grieved his passing. It's all explained in this scene. Even T'Challa himself wanted his kid to avoid Wakanda. Additionally, he probably informed him and Nakia of his illness, something he didn't do with anybody else, to help them prepare for his death. The revelation also clarifies Ramonda's earlier in the movie statement to Shuri, "There's something I have to tell you about your brother," which is interrupted by Namor's appearance. Lastly, and a lotThe sequel assembles a familiar group, starting with director Coogler, who also co-wrote the first film's screenplay. Letitia Wright is back as T'Challa's sister, Shuri; Winston Duke returns as warrior M'Baku; and Angela Bassett is back as Ramonda, mother of T'Challa and Shuri. Danai Gurira, who plays Okoye, head of the Dora Milaje, Wakanda's all-female special forces, is back, and so is Martin Freeman, who plays CIA agent Everett Ross. 

A major new character will be Riri Williams/Ironheart, a genius teen inventor, and the one seen in the trailer building her own iron suit with heart cutout. After the movie, she'll be seen again in an upcoming Disney Plus streaming series called Ironheart. (We've got lots more information about that show here.)

Acclaimed British writer, director and actor Michaela Coel plays Aneka, who in the comics was kicked out of the Dora Milaje, but in the trailer appears to be fighting alongside them.

Tenoch Huerta is playing Namor the Sub-Mariner, a longtime favorite character from the comics. The trailer shows him leading the forces of underwater Atlantis against Wakanda.

An important member of the Black Panther world won't be returning: Daniel Kaluuya told Rotten Tomatoes in July that he did not reprise his role as W'Kabi, who is T'Challa/Black Panther's best friend. Kaluuya was filming the Jordan Peele movie Nope at the same time he would've been needed for Black Panther 2.It seems obvious from the first sad strains of classic song No Woman, No Cry, that T'Challa's death is reverberating through Wakanda. "Good friends we have, and good friends we've lost," the lyrics proclaim, as quiet, elegant scenes of T'Challa's teary family and friends are shown. The cause of his death isn't explained in the trailer, but we assume the movie will eventually address what happened. T'Challa's sister Shuri (Letitia Wright) and mother Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett) are seen walking somberly in what appears to be a funeral procession, with Shuri holding the Black Panther helmet.

Namor is born

A pregnant woman is seen, and then she appears to be giving birth underwater. It's not stated, but it looks like the wing-footed baby born is Namor the Sub-Mariner, who will be played as an adult by Tenoch Huerta. Namor is the child of a human male and a princess of the underwater kingdom of Atlantis. An adult Namor is later seen in several scenes in the trailer, such as at 1:36, when he and others are blasted with energy while standing on a beach, and M'Baku (Winston Duke) leaps at him from a boat.

It sure looks as if the movie will pit Atlantis, led by Namor, against Wakanda, led by whoever's trying to step in for T'Challa, and though we don't know the background of the movie conflict, the two lands are notorious comic-book enemies. CIA agent Everett Ross (Martin Freeman) shows up looking worried.

You'll see a lot of characters with light blue skin in the trailer. Those are Namor's fellow Atlanteans, but apparently because his father is human, he doesn't share that skin color. Atlantis itself seems to be inspired by the Maya civilization.

Family losses

An anguished Queen Ramonda is heard screaming that she is the queen of the world's most powerful nation, and her entire family is gone. Shuri isn't dead in the movie, but T'Challa and T'Chaka, their father, are both gone. Some have speculated that Ramonda is speaking after the Thanos snap, which took both Shuri and T'Challa, though they were later restored. Or could Shuri be thought dead in the film's setting, due to some other event?

Ironheart

At 1:33 in the trailer, Riri Williams/Ironheart is seen, played by young actress Dominique Thorne. She seems to be building her own Iron Man-style suit, and is shown cutting out a heart symbol, signifying her name. There's a touching scene, too, where she and Shuri share a handshake in Shuri's lab.

Aneka in blue

The Dora Milaje, Wakanda's all-female army of defenders, also make an appearance. One of them, dressed in blue, is Aneka (Michaela Coel); she has an interesting backstory in the comics, where she was stripped of her rank in the group for killing an abusive chieftain, so we'll have to see how much, if any, of that history makes it into the movie. The blue armor is that of the Midnight Angels, an elite group within the Dora Milaje.  

A new Black Panther emerges

In the very last seconds of the trailer, someone who appears to be wearing the Black Panther suit is seen unleashing claws. Many have speculated that this is Shuri, taking over the role from her late brother, but of course Marvel's not letting that spoiler slip too early.

The music in the Black Panther 2 trailer

First we hear a cover version of Bob Marley's song No Woman, No Cry, performed beautifully by Nigerian singer Tems.                                      https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmQflO0q3wczLYh7w9BTxGg
