In the wake of King T’Challa’s death, Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), Shuri (Letitia Wright), M'Baku (Winston Duke), Okoye (Danai Gurira), and the Dora Milaje (including Florence Kasumba) fight to safeguard their homeland from intervening foreign powers in Marvel Studios' "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever."

Directed by Ryan Coogler from a script by Coogler and Joe Robert Cole, the film also stars Dominique Thorne, Michaela Coel, Mabel Cadena, and Alex Livanalli, as well as Tenoch Huerta as Namor, king of a hidden undersea nation.

In the comics, Atlantis is now ruled by Namor. Namor, the mutant-hybrid son of a human father and an Atlantean princess, has a pale complexion, unlike his Atlantean counterparts (who usually have blue skin). He is sometimes an ally, sometimes an enemy to the surface dwellers, because Namor's ultimate allegiance is to Atlantis and its people.

The film will reportedly follow the story of the war with Atlantis. In the comics, Shuri, as Wakanda's queen, was involved in treaty negotiations with Namor, who offered to end the war between their two nations in exchange for refuge in Wakanda whenever he wanted. T'Challa was first offered this pact, which he refused. Shuri, like her brother, declined Namor's offer, explaining that the fight between the two nations was not an ordinary war and that the fate of both Wakanda and Atlantis was at stake; in the end, one of them would face ultimate devastation.
