Wakanda Forever, a highly anticipated second film!

next November, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will have the tough task of completing Phase 4 of the MCU in style. Then it will be Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

to lay the groundwork for phase 5 that we had the first information at Comic-Con in San Diego last July. During this same convention, a trailer all claws out was shared – and can be seen at the top of the article – to promote this feature film, which had to be reworked following the death of Chadwick Boseman, the actor who lent his facial features to the superhero. It is not yet known who will take the torch and carry on the legacy of Black Panther and Chadwick Boseman.. Technically it was supposed to be Shuri, T’Challa’s younger sister, though the interpreter tries to drown the fish in the interview to keep the surprise until the end.

In short, the blur is still as thick and even possible LEGO bug cannot fully convince us. As we wait for the story to end, the promotional campaign surrounding the film is gradually being launched. Currently it is the actor Tenoch Huertawho has the chance to play the big villain of the next movie, tells us more about how he came to the MCU: an audition that could have ended in failure if the actor hadn’t published his finest lie.

A superhero with a talent for lying

For this second part of Black Panther, it is Namor, the prince of the seas, who will take the villain’s place, succeeding N’Jadaka aka Erik Killmongerplayed by Michael B. Jordan in the film released in February 2018. life and style, the actor spoke at length and, among other things, mentioned his audition for the role of Namor, a huge opportunity that could have happened under his nose. If you’re going to play the king of the lost city of Atlantis, you’re bound to be better off if you can swim properly, and that’s exactly what he was asked on the day of his hearing. Then, in a nice pirouette, the actor replied that he ” had never drowned before returning to his managers without ever confessing his lie to Marvel when he just couldn’t swim!

Of course I didn’t say anything at the time because they didn’t want to give me the role (…) We had to explain to them through my lawyer in the USA that it was us Mexicans. We never say no and see how it develops afterwards. — Tenoch Huerta, Namor’s performer in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

After all, he seemed perfectly suited to embody Namor, prince of the seas, and it wasn’t this lack of aquatic skills that hurt him. In the end, the actor had the opportunity to benefit from an initial swimming lesson before stepping in front of the camera unaided to bring the superhero to life.. Today and after more than eight months of training, we can say that Tenoch Huerta is like a fish in water, even in the incarnation of his character that we will see on screen from November 9, 2022.
