Black Panther Sequel ideas...

[pxrple]

I don't want to see Monica or Storm. We've barley scratched the surface with Nakia. I've no attachment to the character of Monica so I don't have to ever see that character on screen. And I'm willing to wait till after the Black Panther trilogy to see T'challa and Ororo cross paths.

agree with all of this. unless something major happens between now and bp2, t'challa and nakia seem like a solid pairing. i mean there's always a chance they jane foster her but lupita definitely seems more invested in her role than natalie did. no need for monica. i wouldn't mind storm or the fantastic 4 showing up somehow though. i think it'd be a great way to hype the sequel since i don't see the level of hype for this one being as easily replicable.

 

[pxrple]

Yes it would and the sequel would have a political thriller type feel to it similar to Cap 2: Winter Soldier

yup. i think this was a fantastic start for the character and a great introduction to wakanda but hopefully the sequel establishes him as a badass the way winter soldier did for cap.

Well, he did take those goons down at the casino sans suit. They must hire John Wick’s stunt team though if they want to have a more exciting fight scene.

Cast Viola Davis... as a villain.

 

[eon001]

Globe trotting story. T'chala is on a diplomatic world tour, crossing paths with each War dog spy. Wakandans in deep cover in the UK, Brazil, Ghana, Australia, America etc.

Had the outline of an idea that involved the systematic assassination of each War dog in each country. So it turns into a murder mystery action adventure. Nakia and T'chala team up so there's rom com-ish elements.

My initial draft had Kraven as the assassin working along side a cerebral villain, like Osborn, Justin Hammer or Zemo.

The B story can explore how Wakanda tackles immigration. Tons of African refugee's flooding in, and maybe even international refugees. Would be an interesting study in immigration politics. European immigrants trying to migrate to Africa? imagine that.

 

[Shadey]

I still think BP2 may need an anticipated and popular hero in order to draw in a large audience that will benefit the box office.

No they don't. They are the draw and with this movie's success they don't need any crossovers to sell. Like another poster said they can save that stuff for either BP3 or an event film.

Best idea I’ve heard so far.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I was thinking about the white wolf and since there's little evidence of him being t'challas adoptive brother, it'd be neat if he was actually t'chaka's adoptive brother. Maybe he'd been cast out because his version of the war dogs went from them being spies to them being brutal assassins in the name of wakanda.

 

[eon001]

Thanks man. The War dogs can explore the idea of pan African-ism. Being born in Africa but growing up in another country is something millions of 1st gen and immigrants from Africa can relate to. (Including myself).

Definitely want to see the back lash from exposing Wakanda to the rest of the world. Some pissed of Wakandans voicing there opinions. Make Wakanda great again rhetoric.

They need to maintain the mission impossible/Jame Bond tone. I don't think I want to see CGI monsters or lasers in the sky. Maybe more visits to the ancestral plane for knowledge from previous Black Panthers, maybe even an appearance from Bast.

 

[The Overlord]

Definitely want Namor in the sequel.

Here's the problem with Namor as the villain in a Black Panther film, how can you make him a villain that Black Panther can triumph over and not make Namor completely unsympathetic in the process?

The comics Namor hit Wakanda with a tidal wave, killing thousands in the process, do that in film and the audience will see him as a vile monster, not a sympathetic anti hero. Also how much of a victory will Black Panther be allowed to have over Namor, Namor starting a war with Wakanda and then just going home is a pretty lame climax.

To me this only works if some other character was the true villain, manipulating Black Panther and Namor into fighting and that is the villain who is defeated by the end of the film.

Also the film rights to Namor may still belong to Universal.

 

[Silvermoth]

They did it with civil war so I reckon they could do it again. Maybe the tidal wave is actually sent by attuma who namor reprimands him for but refuses to apologise for

Amen to that. The last thing we need is some unnecessary love triangle and T'challa already has a perfect love interest in Nakia.

On topic, Achebe would be my pick for the next villain. It seems like the most logical follow-up to the ending of BP.

 

[metaphysician]

Thing is, Civil War used already well established characters, with thoroughly foreshadowed lines of division. It worked because the conflict was a payoff for tensions going back several movies.

You can't really do that with Namor, because he's a totally new character whose never even met T'Challa before. There's no plausible way to fit enough development for the audience to care about Namor, and the Namor/T'Challa conflict, in the same way that Civil War worked.

 

[eon001]

I'd put both Storm and Namor in the "Don't rush, lets wait" category. There's just way too much back story and set up for both characters imo.
Not only do we have to explain who Storm is, but you have to introduce the ideas of mutants. Namor is a similar deal. Fish man king of Atlantis. That's screen time I would rather they spend developing the Black Panther characters.

I guess you could develop them in other films and there own franchise's but can you really see Namor and mutants being developed well enough in the next 3 years to shoe horn them into other people's movies? Lets not rush and force this.

And if T'chala is going to face off against a king I'd rather it be Doom than Namor (in the 3rd BP movie 4 or 5 years down the line. By then the Fox deal would be fully ironed out and Doom can hit the ground running as a BP villain).

 

[The Overlord]

But Namor comes across as totally unsympathetic if Attuma is not handed over to Black Panther for justice. Also what's the climax, Namor just goes home at the end of the day? If its Black Panther's movie, you want to see him triumph over his adversary, if Namor just kills a bunch of people in Wakanda and Black Panther lets him go unpunished, it makes Black Panther look pathetic.

This can only work if someone else is pulling the strings, manipulating the two sides into a war, it can make Namor seem less actively unsympathetic and give Black Panther an enemy he can triumph over. This the problem with just trying to slot a guest character into Black Panther's movie, Black Panther needs an adversary he can defeat because its his film, not one that will get a slap of the wrist and who's story will continue in a completely different film.

You’re making my mouth water. Great, great ideas.

It could be ironic if in the sequel, T'Challa took up Killmonger & Nakia's position to advocate for expand Wakanda's resources to other countries (which he has already done at the end of BP) and he had to fight against another Wakandan who wants to make their nation an isolationist once again. This would be another civil war in the making.

 

[Chesterfield]

Um, that's what M'Baku's deal is.

A reviewer actually pointed that out. This is the first hero that actually learned something from villain.

Another reason why Killmonger is a ground breaking antagonist.

 

[eon001]

I'd imagine M'Baku and the border tribe are going to on the "Make Wakanda great" band wagon. I look forward to seeing how the BP2 explore the civil unrest.

 

[eon001]

Thank's buddy. I'd love to see those themes explored. I'm tempted to draft some fanfic. This movie has really got my imagination working in overdrive.

That was happening recently with portuguese nationals looking for work in one of Portugal's former colonies that had discovered some precious resource

I think they will have to give that role to someone else cause w'kabi's tribe was booted from the King's small council and M'Baku got promoted instead

Something would have to go very wrong in infinity war for them to fight again

I think Thanos' invasion of Wakanda will lend some cred to the Isolationist group in BP2; tribes who would blame T'Challa for all their recent troubles even though he had nothing to do with it.

 

[Tg11]

I like the globe trotting story because it not only adds a political thriller type feel to it but also it is more or less a spy thriller especially if you add the War Dogs aspect to it

However, keeping the Wakandan culture and customs and all of that stuff behind it too focusing more on Wakanda helps as well
