With Black Panther: Wakanda Forever‘s nationwide release now just one month away, Disney and Marvel on Tuesday unveiled a new featurette on the making of the anticipated sequel, along with 12 new character posters, which you can view by clicking above.

In the featurette, director Ryan Coogler and assorted cast members explain how the sequel will pay tribute to the original’s star Chadwick Boseman, who died of colon cancer in August 2020 at age 43. “It was really moving to come back to Wakanda and for us to be able to do it with a sense of celebration,” says Nyong’o in the featurette, also giving fans a more in-depth look at Huerta’s villain character, Namor.
Hitting theaters in 2018, the first Black Panther film directed by Coogler follows T’Challa (Boseman), heir to the hidden but advanced kingdom of Wakanda, who must step forward to lead his people into a new future and confront a challenger from his country’s past.
