Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is now in theaters, becoming perhaps the Marvel film with the most emotional baggage.<\/h4>\n

While crossovers and callbacks weren\u2019t necessarily at the top of director Ryan Coogler\u2019s priority list for this one, the sequel still contains a slew of hidden easter eggs that you might have missed after just one viewing.<\/p>\n

Here are 8 details you missed in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Shuri\u2019s symbolic tattoo<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Black<\/p>\n

Shuri is squarely on team science and technology, and she wears them quite literally on her hand. Viewers don\u2019t have to look that closely to catch the Princess\u2019s new tattoo; it\u2019s prominently displayed several times throughout the movie. There\u2019s a graphic design that resembles rearranging particles. Perhaps it\u2019s a visual representation of the chemical makeup of Vibranium or some other scientific breakthrough she\u2019s been working toward?<\/p>\n

Shuri rejects the idea of the supernatural throughout \u201cWakanda Forever\u201d even after she experiences it via the ancestral plane for herself. She tells her mother that T\u2019Challa didn\u2019t touch her shoulder. That was just a figment of her imagination. She gives up on the heart-shaped herb in favor of better weapons and suits. Shuri and M\u2019Baku even reference his accusation in the first \u201cBlack Panther\u201d that Wakanda\u2019s technological advancements have been overseen by a \u201cchild who scoffs at tradition.\u201d Many other characters\u2019 body modifications harken back to their heritage. That Shuri puts her faith so totally in science and in her own genius is a huge part of her identity.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Throughout the film, Shuri tries to build a synthetic heart-shaped herb.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Black<\/p>\n

The herb becomes a focus of the sequel because it grants the powers of the Black Panther.\u00a0After briefly becoming the King of Wakanda in 2018\u2019s \u201cBlack Panther,\u201d Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) ordered the garden of the heart-shaped herb be destroyed so no one else could gain the mantle of Black Panther after him. T\u2019Challa used the last natural herb to come back from the brink of death.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 The opening credits pay respect to Chadwick Boseman<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Black<\/p>\n

\u201cBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever\u201d opens with a scene that\u2019s sure to well tears in the audience\u2019s eyes. Shuri is frantically working on printing a synthetic version of the heart-shaped herb that gives the Black Panther their powers and allows Wakandans to access the ancestral plane. But her research has only gotten her so far when her sick brother\u2019s heart rate begins to fall. Its probability of success is hovering around 30% when Queen Ramonda enters the lab to tell her T\u2019Challa is gone.<\/p>\n

The scene crossfades from Shuri\u2019s devastated face to what seems like the standard Marvel Studios opening credits. For the most part, this is the graphic format that Marvel fans around the world have come to know and love. But this time, instead of the familiar triumphant Marvel Studios theme music, there\u2019s absolutely no music or sound at all. And instead of a highlight reel of all of the MCU\u2019s mightiest and most popular heroes, as per usual, every letter is filled with stills and clips of Chadwick Boseman as T\u2019Challa from all four of his appearances. When the Marvel Studios logo arranges itself in place, the words first glow with the purple of the heart-shaped herb before fading into the black and silver of T\u2019Challa\u2019s Black Panther suit.<\/p>\n

This slight change to the opening credits format pays respect to Chadwick Boseman and leads beautifully into the funeral scene that immediately follows.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 T\u2019Challa\u2019s death mirrors that of the actor who played him<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Black<\/p>\n

When it was announced that \u201cWakanda Forever\u201d would not be recasting the role of Black Panther aka King T\u2019Challa, fans began to speculate about how the sequel would deal with Boseman\u2019s tragic death. Trailers made it clear that T\u2019Challa dies in the world of the MCU, but the how was kept secret. It turns out, T\u2019Challa passed in much the same way Boseman himself passed: from an illness he kept from the public and shared only with his closest loved ones. There\u2019s a mural in the film\u2019s funeral scene with Wakandan letters that translate to, \u201cThe Panther King Forever Live in Us and Rest.\u201d Disney also honored Boseman with a mural. This similarity \u2014 how they died and how the world reacted \u2013\u00a0 is entirely too somber to call an Easter egg, but it\u2019s still significant and worth discussing.<\/p>\n

That T\u2019Challa\u2019s death mirrors Boseman\u2019s death makes the first part of \u201cWakanda Forever\u201d even more impactful. It also allows Ryan Coogler and the cast and crew to avoid trivializing Boseman\u2019s fatal illness by substituting his real tragedy for a possibly cheap-feeling narrativized one. Boseman\u2019s family and creative partners, including his widow Simone, were consultants on the film, so the story of T\u2019Challa\u2019s death was handled with their seal of approval. That filmmakers chose not to overly fictionalize the end of T\u2019Challa\u2019s story helped \u201cWakanda Forever\u201d to clear what was, without a doubt, its highest hurdle.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 \u201cWakanda Forever\u201d takes place around 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Black<\/p>\n

Angela Bassett as Queen Ramonda in \u201cBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever.\u201d Marvel Studios\u00a0In \u201cAvengers: Endgame,\u201d T\u2019Challa returned from the events of the Blip in 2023. After his death in \u201cWakanda Forever,\u201d the movie moves forward a year in time. If you infer that T\u2019Challa died shortly after returning in 2023, then it\u2019s at least 2024.<\/p>\n

Additionally, in \u201cWakanda Forever,\u201d it\u2019s mentioned that Nakia left Wakanda after the events of \u201cInfinity War\u201d when T\u2019Challa first disappeared. Ramonda also says that it has been six years since Nakia left Wakanda. \u201cInfinity War\u201d takes place in 2018. It\u2019s unclear if Nakia left Wakanda right after the events of that film or if she waited a little bit. That math would also put the film in, at least, the year 2024.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 T\u2019Challa\u2019s ceremonial spear and shield were laid next to his coffin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Black<\/p>\n

The shield and spear are seen on the ground by the coffin during an aerial shot. Marvel Studios\u00a0During T\u2019Challa\u2019s funeral, you can spot the shield and spear the leader used in his ceremonial battles to become king lying on the ground beside the Panther-themed coffin.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 The ancestral plane theme plays when T\u2019Challa\u2019s coffin is lifted into the sky.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Black<\/p>\n

G\u00f6ransson\u2019s track \u201cAncestral Plane\u201d signifies T\u2019Challa ascent to his final resting place in the parallel dimension. Marvel Studios\u00a0As T\u2019Challa\u2019s coffin is lifted into the air, composer Ludwig G\u00f6ransson\u2019s track \u201cAncestral Plane\u201d plays. T\u2019Challa visited the ancestral plane, a dimension where the soul exists outside of the body, in 2018\u2019s \u201cBlack Panther\u201d after ingesting the heart-shaped herb on his journey to become the Black Panther.<\/p>\n

Throughout the film, we\u2019re reminded death is not the end for Wakandans. The music signified T\u2019Challa joining his ancestors who previously held the mantle of Black Panther.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 Pay attention to that license plate<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Black<\/p>\n

Riri\u2019s car holds sentimental value, which is why it\u2019s such a grand gesture when Shuri recovers its pieces and has it restored to practically brand new in the film\u2019s final act. The most Easter egg-like thing about Riri\u2019s car, however, is its license plate. It reads EE-0710. We can guess that \u201cEE\u201d stands for Easter egg. The meaning of 0710 is less obvious. The simplest answer to this riddle is that it\u2019s a nod to 2018\u2019s \u201cBlack Panther\u201d Vol. 7 #10, the story of which touches on the multiverse, mutants, and Egyptian gods. The issue is probably a true Easter egg as the \u201cEE\u201d suggests, meaning it might not necessarily signal specific plot points to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
