I'm shocked we haven't be given anything on the Film especially a Teaser by now but that might change when Promo Art came out check it out.

Loving the Namor look very much like the Comics while giving him that Aztec/Mayan Warrior feel to it as well especially with the Buckle. Attuma is Atlantean and I love they are going with the blue vs keeping them all looking the same like in the DC Universe it's more Comic Book accurate now. Clearly Namor and Attuma will be at odds bringing in our heroes to this problem. I still wonder what might they with the passing of Chadwick Boseman. No doubt they were put a tribute and respect towards him in the Film and it's going to be interesting if they do say he passed away who takes the Black Panther powers long term.​

It's going to be very interesting to see how they handle Boseman's passing.
My guess is they're doing it the Paul Walker way and will say T'Challa is retired or busy somewhere else.

I'm fine with Shuri taking the lead, she was a cool character. The actress was under fire for her views on vaccines and her disrespect of Covid safety rules, but she denied them later, so I'll give her the benefit of the doubt.

Trying to figure out this life thing, what about you
Daniel Kaluuya will not be reprising his role in Marvel and Disney’s “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” Variety has confirmed.

Kaluuya played W’Kabi in 2018’s “Black Panther,” the best friend and confidant to T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman), and the head of security for the Border Tribe.

Sources close to the project tell Variety that Kaluuya was asked to return, but had already committed to star in Jordan Peele’s upcoming horror film “Nope.” Kaluuya was Oscar-nominated for his starring role in Peele’s 2017 hit “Get Out.”

Jacqueline Coley of Rotten Tomatoes first tweeted the news on Wednesday.

Production on “Wakanda Forever,” directed by Ryan Coogler, wrapped in March, and the film is set to debut on Nov. 11. Following the death of Boseman in 2020, Marvel decided not to recast the role of T’Challa. The sequel will instead explore other characters from the world of “Black Panther,” while also honoring the legacy Boseman left behind. Though it had been confirmed that original film stars Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke and Angela Bassett would return, Kaluuya’s status in the second film had been unclear until now. “Wakanda Forever” also stars Dominique Thorne as a genius inventor, as well as Michaela Coel and Tenoch Huerta in undisclosed roles.

Kaluuya is currently gearing up for the release of “Nope” on July 22. The sci-fi horror film stars Kaluuya alongside Keke Palmer and Steven Yeun, and follows the residents of an isolated town who witness a mysterious event involving a UFO and set out to investigate it.

W'Kabi betrayed the king and surrendered at the end of the first movie so they can just say he's in jail or banished from Wakanda. I would have liked to see a redemption story for him though.
