The clip also takes the audience to some never-before-seen places in Wakanda, introduces them to new characters Riri Williams aka Ironheart (Dominique Thorne) and Namor, the Submariner (Tenoch Huerta), shares a glimpse into an imminent battle, and teases the new Black Panther who has their claws out. There is also a sequence of an underwater birth with actors Lupita Nyong'o, Letitia Wright, Danai Gurira, Florence Kasumba and Winston Duke reprising their roles. "I am Queen of the most powerful nation in the world, and my entire family is gone," cries Angela Bassett's Ramonda, who is seen sitting on the throne earlier in the teaser. The lines "Good friends we have and good friends we've lost" by Marley is a reiteration that Boseman will not appear on the screen as the superhero after the studio confirmed in 2021 that they will not use computer-generated imagery to include him in the new film. We've all grown so much as a family, and it feels great to see you guys and honour big bro at the same time," she added. Letitia Wright, who is said to be taking on the mantle of the Black Panther as Shuri, said she is looking forward to the film. "I promise you, I can feel his hand on me right now," he added.

I sat there and we premiered the first footage from 'Black Panther 1,' and sitting next to me was our T’Challa, the late great Chadwick Boseman." The filmmaker said he could feel the late star's presence in the room.


According to Variety, Coogler addressed Boseman's demise and said "it's going to be hard to follow that up, but we'll try".
