| Black Panther Star Says ‘Wakanda Forever’ Will Top the First Film Posted: 27 Mar 2022 07:40 AM PDT 
This may be what any cast member is expected to say on press junkets, but according to returning star Angela Bassett, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, will "top" its Academy Award-nominated predecessor. Bassett, who will return to the world of Wakanda as Ramonda, T’Challa and Shuri’s mother and the Queen Mother of Wakanda, teased the high quality of the follow-up while appearing on The Ellen Show.
After hyping Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Basset continued, heaping praise on her dearly departed co-star Chadwick Boseman. The lead of the first Black Panther, Boseman passed away in 2020 after a private battle with colon cancer, and Bassett and the rest of the talent involved in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever are hoping to make the best sequel possible in his honor.
The first Black Panther was a cultural, and financial, success, earning $1.3 billion at the worldwide box office and receiving seven nominations at the 91st Academy Awards, including the first nomination for Best Picture for a superhero movie, Black Panther went on to win the first Academy Award for an Marvel movie, with wins for Best Costume Design, Best Original Score, and Best Production Design.
It’s going to take a lot to top that. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is scheduled to be released in the US on November 11, 20

| Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Still Undergoing Reshoots Posted: 27 Mar 2022 05:25 AM PDT
Despite Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness scheduled to hit theaters in less than two months, Benedict Cumberbatch recently revealed that he’s still filming reshoots. While attending the recent BAFTAs, Cumberbatch let slip (via @SmilingBenedict) that he himself is still involved in filming additional scenes for the Doctor Strange follow-up. What extra madness could director Sam Raimi possibly be adding at this late stage?
“It’s been tough. I’ll be honest with you. It’s had quite a journey, this film. But not in a kind of poor me way, just like the nature of where we’re at,” Stephen Strange portrayer Benedict Cumberbatch said. “To try and make a massive film like that under the constrictions of a pandemic and the delays that have ensued, partly because of The Power of the Dog, but also because of everything that was lined up and had to be pushed back from Marvel. It’s been tough for everyone. Also, incredibly enjoyable and no less enjoyable than the first one.”
Meanwhile, ComicBook.com exhibitors are already working on their listings for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and it’s a process that may have inadvertently revealed the sequel’s monstrous runtime. According to thelisting with Brazilian ticketer Ingresso, the Sam Raimi flick will boast a 148-minute runtime. That’s long enough to make the Doctor Strange sequel one of the MCU’s longest entries. At two hours and 28 minutes, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness could have a runtime equal to that of Spider-Man: No Way Home. This is of course contingent on the final reshoots not affecting the length.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness hits theaters May 6th. The post Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Still Undergoing Reshoots appeared first on Bleeding Fool. |
