CelebnMovies247.com has received word that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has wrapped and will now be going into post production.
It looks like after a much delayed and testing shoot, principal photography on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has finally wrapped in Puetro Rico, which will probably come as something of a relief to all of those involved in the tricky shoot. While some Marvel movies that due for release in 2023 have already completed or are close to completing filming, the Black Panther sequel has seen multiple issues causing lengthy delays, which in part were responsible for the movie having its release date pushed back as part of Disney’s schedule shake-up last year.
According to posts made on social media by a number of crew members from the film, the shoot, which according to one post by hair stylist Nikki Wright ended up being 117 days instead of the planned 88, has finally completed, allowing, of course, for reshoots some time later.

After the loss of Chadwick Boseman, director Ryan Coogler set out recapture the magic in the sequel following the events of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.
As Boseman’s role of T’Challa was said to be not getting recast, that meant the storyline for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was forced to undergo a number of changes to accommodate loss of its main character. This meant that other characters such as Letitia Wright’s Shuri, Winston Duke’s M’Baku and Danai Gurira’s Okoye took on much different and more prominent roles than they perhaps would have in the first version of the script.
We will see how it plays out especially since the movie was plagued with tons of delays. From script rewrites, to COVID restrictions, to filming stopped after cast and crew tested positive for COVID. Not to mention, the complete shutdown that followed in the wake of Letitia Wright sustaining multiple injuries while performing a stunt.
In addition to all the hurdles Black Panther: Forever, is set to see the arrival of Namor the Sub-Mariner and a war between Wakanda and Atlantis, although there is currently very little confirmed information about the plot of the film. As well as, Riri Williams/Ironheart to be part of the movie. There is still a lot of Black Panther’s secrets to be unveiled before the film arrives on Nov. 11, 2022.
We will see if there ends up being a push back or MCU maneuvering.
