Today should have happened last month. The Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Disney Plus release date, all precedent suggested, was meant for January at the latest. Fortunately, we got the next best thing.
Release date and time: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever debuted today (Wednesday, Feb. 1) on Disney Plus at 3 a.m. ET.
Earlier this month, Disney announced that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is coming to Disney Plus on February 1, 2023. This is certainly a high-profile way to kick off Black History Month.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever finds the secretive African nation state under duress at all angles. And its heroes are also trying to answer the big question of "who will become the new Black Panther?" This is also something of a meta-question, as the film's cast and crew (and the world) still mourns the loss of Chadwick Boseman, who passed away in 2020.
The most recent of the upcoming Marvel movies to hit the cinema, Wakanda Forever also reveals another world that's been a secret in the MCU: the underwater kingdom of Talokan. And its ruler, Namor (Tehnoc Huerta) is a new threat who is not to be under estimated.
In our Black Panther: Wakanda Forever review, I declared Wakanda Forever to be an impressive piece of the MCU, thanks to the phenomenal performances of Angela Bassett and Letitia Wright. The former garnered an Oscars nomination in the category of supporting actress for her performance in Wakanda Forever.
