'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' post-credits scene moves fans to tears: 'Chadwick is really missed'

The movie closes with T’Challa’s sister Shuri confronting her sorrow for her family by carrying out a traditional Wakandan funeral ritual

HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES: The sequel to Black Panther is finally here with 'Wakanda Forever', which has a treat for fans who are ready to stay past the point where the credits begin. The post-credits scene is as touching as it can get. The movie closes with T’Challa’s sister Shuri (Letitia Wright) confronting her sorrow for her family by carrying out a traditional Wakandan funeral ritual, following which the credits scene picks up.

Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) joins the young Black Panther and goes on to introduce her to Nakia’s secret son — T’Challa’s offspring and Shuri’s nephew. He says he is known as Toussaint, for Toussaint Louverture, an important figure in the overthrow of French control in Haiti. He was also a pivotal figure in the country’s transformation into a sovereign state where people were enslaved in the past. However, he says this is his Haitian name, and his other is Prince T’Challa, of Wakanda.

Nakia says she and the late T’Challa conceived in secret but decided to raise their son outside the dangers of the Wakandan court. It is heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time as Shuri embraces the final member of her family she had no idea she had. It is also an emotional tribute to the previous T’Challa, late actor Chadwick Boseman. Notably, there is no comic book precedent for the scene.
