Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Ending Explained
What happened at the end of Wakanda Forever?
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ends with Shuri and Namor reaching a truce after each understanding one another’s struggles and personal losses. Shuri offers a ceasefire in exchange for Wakanda protecting Talokan from outside invaders, which Namor accepts. Later, however, Namor makes it clear that his motives aren’t entirely altruistic toward Wakanda. When one of his warriors tells him that she wanted to keep fighting alongside the god Kukulkán, Namor tells the soldier that having Wakanda as an ally strengthens Talokan, implying that Namor’s quest to flood other land nations may be far from over.
Who is the little boy at the end of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever?
In a mid-credits scene, Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) joins Shuri on the beach and introduces a young boy of about five or six years old. The boy is Nakia and T’Challa’s son, also named T’Challa. She says that King T’Challa recommended they live somewhere far from Wakanda so that the boy could grow up without the pressures associated with being in the Wakandan royal lineage. Fans have speculated that the second T’Challa may eventually become a member of the Young Avengers—and that he will someday also become Black Panther.
What does the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ending mean?
The ending of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever shows Shuri on the beach in Haiti mourning the loss of T’Challa and her mother, Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett). Prior to that, Shuri threw herself into research and work to avoid confronting her own grief. The reveal of T’Challa’s son shows a continuation of his legacy as King of Wakanda, as well as of his work as Black Panther, and helps Shuri understand that while loss is painful, those we love will live on in those they’ve left behind.
