Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has taken over the internet like a storm. The fans flocked to the theaters ever since its release, and people have not stopped talking about the film. 

Interestingly, there are several languages spoken in Wakanda in the movies, and this time, Spanish was one of them.

Lupita Nyong'o Opened Up About Speaking Spanish In The Film

Lupita Nyong'o was a part of EW's Around The Table, and in the video, she revealed that it had been her dream to speak Spanish on-screen, and nothing made her happier than being able to do so in the Black Panther franchise. 

"I was so excited about it. It was just a straight gift. And I was very, very happy to do it... I've always wanted to work in Spanish and never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that that opportunity would come in Black Panther."

Previously, she had received praise from Korean fans for her accent and pronunciation of the Korean language.

'Wakanda Forever' Is A Global Hit 

As mentioned, the movie has taken the internet like a storm since its release. Several fans and celebrities took to social media to express their delight after watching the film.

There is not one who has given completely negative feedback about the movie.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever could quite easily become one of the top movies in the Marvel franchise!

Is Chadwick Boseman In 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever'?

The beloved actor who played the Black Panther passed away due to stage 4 Colon cancer in August 2020. Therefore, the team and cast were left with a major void in their lives since Boseman was close to all of them, and they all felt the loss of a brother.

Coming from the movie, the plot of Wakanda Forever revolves around T'Challa passing away due to an illness, and the rest of them have to protect Wakanda just like he would.

Cast Members' Emotions On-Screen Reflect Real-Life Emotions

When they filmed the passing of T'Challa, the emotions weren't just acting. All of them were grieving the loss of Chadwick Boseman, and the emotions on-screen reflected their actual emotions. 

Cast members such as Letitia Wright have refused to discuss the future of Black Panther, considering Chadwick Boseman will not be a part of those at all. 

Considering the key role he played in the franchise, it's difficult to replace him without facing backlash from the audience. The only way is to have someone step-up as T'Challa and make it a natural transition rather than replacing him with a new actor!
