The very first line of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, spoken by Shuri (Letitia Wright) off-screen against a black screen, makes it clear that the real-life demise of Chadwick Boseman will not be dismissed with an offhand line of dialogue or a quick easter egg in the background. It’s going to be the crux of Ryan Coogler’s fourth directorial effort. Not only that, but that initial line establishes the emotional urgency of what’s to come. This isn’t necessarily a bleak venture into Wakanda, but it isn’t afraid to confront the complexities of loss and the different ways people respond to the process of grief. In other words, bring some tissues if you’re like me and have any sort of emotional vulnerability.
