Wakanda Forever Detailed Plot Leaked on Reddit
For those who really can't wait till the official premiere.
Warning: the following article contains major unconfirmed spoilers for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
With just a week before the theatrical release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the detailed plot of the movie appeared to have been leaked on Reddit. Spoiler-loving fans (or those who simply can't wait anymore) have quickly delved into the details of the long-anticipated story.
According to the unconfirmed leak posted on Reddit, the movie kicks off with Shuri desperately trying to come up with a technology that could save T'Challa's life. T'Challa, as it turns out, was suffering from an unknown illness that he kept a secret from everyone around him.
This is the first thing that raised some eyebrows, with fans noting that it was "extremely on the nose", given how unsubtly it transfers the story of late Chadwick Boseman to screens without any attempt to adapt it to the movie's storyline.
The leak goes on to establish a conflict between Wakanda and Talocan, with the latter's ruler, Namor, emerging from the water to contact Shuri and Ramonda and reveal that someone "from the surface" has discovered the source of vibranium in the ocean and it puts his people at risk. Even though Namor tries to establish an alliance, Shuri and Ramonda don't fully believe him. When they do find out who is responsible for the vibranium-detecting technology — MIT student Riri Williams — they also realize that the government has got their hands on the tech already.
However, it's not Riri who sold the technology but her teacher. Despite that, Namor wants to kill her — something that Shuri and Ramonda cannot allow to happen. In the end, Riri turns out to be the "special" teenager whom everyone is trying to save — with Queen Ramonda even sacrificing her life for that.
Not something fans enjoyed too much, by the way.
"I can't imagine Wakanda going to bat for Riri and Queen Ramonda being willing to die for a random girl she just met. At all," Redditor parduscat said. "The Riri plot line sounds like America Chavez all over again, except this time there's really no reason to risk all of that for her."
Even though Riri does help Wakanda in a final battle with Talocan, her figure appeared to be overrated for many fans.
The conflict between Talocan and Wakanda is eventually resolved when Shuri spares Namor even though she had a chance to kill him. The two nations end up forming some sort of an alliance after all.
But one of the most unexpected things for fans was the fact that Ross (Martin Freeman) has an ex-wife who is currently the CIA Director, and it is Valentina. For fans, the duo was not something they "ever saw coming, or would have ever come up with even given a long enough timeline."
The Reddit leak also revealed many other aspects of the movie, including a breakdown of Wakanda Forever's mid-credits scene in the comments.
So if you don't feel like waiting for November 11 for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever to premiere in theaters, you know what to do.
