The LGBTQ+ representation in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever might not exactly be extensive — coming down mostly to a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment of affection between Michaela Coel's character Aneka and Florence Kasumba's Ayo — but it's enough for the moment to have been cut for the film's release in one Gulf ...
In "Wakanda Forever," the LGBTQ+ representation is still left in the background of the larger film.
The MPAA rating has been assigned for “sequences of strong violence, action and some language.” The Kids-In-Mind.com evaluation includes a sexual reference, a tender kiss, many scenes of superpowers being used to fight, other fight scenes using spears and knives, a few fight scenes with water bombs and other explosives ...
Coming back to the point, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever had a romance plot between Shuri and Namor, but it never made it to the final cut.
Disney Cuts LGBTQ+ Scene for Black Panther 2
Part of that footage includes a brief moment where Aneka kisses Ayo on the forehead, confirming their LGBTQIA+ relationship in the film.
They do engage in friendly banter at the beginning of the movie and embrace, along with exchanging said forehead kiss, at the end. Their queerness, of course, is not imagined: The two characters were indeed written as queer in a 2017 comic, and their forbidden relationship was a significant part of its plot.
Shawver has revealed that a romantic connection between the new Black Panther Shuri (Letitia Wright) and Talokan's ruler Namor (Tenoch Huerta Mejía) was explored in some takes. Before their epic showdown towards the end of the film, Shuri and Namor had been quite cordial with each other.
In the scene, Aneka kisses Ayo on the forehead. Ayo replies, “Thank you, my love,” making it clear the pair are romantically linked.
Unlike most other Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, which have a mid-credits scene and an end-credits scene, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever does not have two post-credits scenes and has has only one scene in the mid-credits, so there's no reason to stay until the end of the full credits.
Wakanda Forever has only one end-credits scene, which comes about midway through the credits (after Rihanna's ballad "Lift Me Up" plays).
Rated PG-13 for sequences of strong violence, action and some language.
Because of its violence and scary scenes, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever isn't suitable for children under 12 years, and we recommend parental guidance for children aged 12-14 years. These are the main messages from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever: Don't let vengeance consume you. If you have power, use it wisely.
Black Panther isn't recommended for children under 13 years, and we recommend parental guidance for children aged 13-15 years. That's because the intense and brutal violence is shown in a way that's likely to make the violent scenes seem more real to younger viewers.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. introduced the MCU's first openly gay character, while Jessica Jones featured the MCU's first openly lesbian character. Meanwhile, more recent MCU TV shows and films have also introduced several more LGBTQ+ characters.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever spoiler: Nakia and T'Challa have a child. At the end of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Nakia reveals to Shuri that she became pregnant with T'Challa's baby before he died and had his child, whom she raised in secret in Haiti.
Boseman's tragic death occurred before production had begun on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and so he did not film any scenes for the movie.
The final cut of the film introduces T'Challa's son Toussaint (played by Divine Love Konadu-Sun) in an end-credits scene as Shuri journeys to Haiti to visit Nakia and meets her nephew for the first time. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is in theaters now.
Having achieved peace with Namor and allowed herself to truly feel, for the first time, the loss of T'Challa, new Black Panther Shuri (Letitia Wright) burns her funeral garb on a beach in Haiti, symbolizing the end of her grieving process.
Four deleted scenes from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever have been introduced, including “Outside The Scope” and “Daughter of the Border." To celebrate the Disney Plus release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, four deleted scenes from the 2022 blockbuster film have been revealed.
First of all, Okoye replaces Ayo in this whole scenario. She is the lover of Aneka in the MCU and she was the one who got the Midnight Angel armor from Shuri. And it was Okoye who asked for Aneka to get one as well.
As Nakia reveals in Wakanda Forever, she left her post behind because she couldn't stand living in the country while their King was gone. That's because T'Challa was not only her ruler and her brother at arms but her lover. The entire country mourned the passing of their King twice.
In the comics, T'Challa doesn't end up marrying Nakia. In fact, he marries another well-known superhero. Her name is Storm!
There were many rumors, hopes, and insinuations made by fans about her potential relationships, but the truth is, nothing ever happened, really. Just like in the comics, Shuri didn't have any significant romantic relationship or encounter so far in the MCU.
The princess of Wakanda, Shuri is T'Chaka's youngest child and only daughter. From a very young age, Shuri coveted the Black Panther mantle.
The Princess of Wakanda, Shuri is the sister of Black Panther, and an heiress to the throne of Wakanda. She is the youngest child of T'Chaka, his only daughter and only biological child with Queen Ramonda, his third wife. From a very young age, Shuri has wanted to become the first woman to become the Black Panther.
