A Marvel film that provides a bittersweet sendoff for the franchise's deceased star tops the DVD releases for the week of Feb. 7.
"Black Panther: Wakanda Forever": This sequel takes on the world without T'Challa, and Chadwick Boseman, introducing new heroes, new villains and some who straddle the line.
"Director and co-writer Ryan Coogler and co-writer Joe Robert Cole went back to the drawing board for 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,' writing a script that addresses the death of Boseman’s character T’Challa, and turns its focus to T’Challa’s mother, Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), who takes over leadership duties in Wakanda, and sister, Princess Shuri (Letitia Wright), the tech-oriented scientist who is more comfortable in her lab than out in front of Wakanda," writes Tribune News Service critic Katie Walsh in her review. "Ultimately, 'Wakanda Forever' becomes a film about Shuri stepping into her power as she grapples with grief and loss, and the tension between science and spirituality, the balance of which has always ruled the culture of Wakanda."
