Marvel Studios continues to send audiences into a frenzy with its latest film “Black Panther”, including “Avengers: Endgame” (2019), which became the No. 1 box office hit of all time worldwide, and “Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness”, which was a smash hit in Japan. Wakanda Forever” was finally released simultaneously in Japan and the U.S. on Friday, March 11.
The sequel, which is the first film in four years to “carry on the spirit of the original,” is being hailed as a “masterpiece” by many!
The film, which opened in theaters on November 11 (Friday), grossed 490.11 million yen and drew 303,356 people in its three-day run in Japan, recording 138% of the box office revenue of the previous film “Black Panther,” which became a social phenomenon, and becoming the No. 1 blockbuster in foreign films. In the U.S., it was also the No. 2 film of the year, grossing $180 million (*about 25 billion yen in Japanese yen) and recording over $330 million (*about 45.8 billion yen in Japanese yen) worldwide.
This film is the “first” hero film to be nominated for an Academy Award® for Best Picture, and is a story that is connected to “Black Panther” (2018), a film that transcended the boundaries of hero films and became a social phenomenon, and has truly made its mark on entertainment history. The story of the Black Panther is connected to the story of the King T’Challa.
In 2020, Chadwick Boseman, who played King T’Challa = Black Panther and was loved by many, passed away due to illness, causing deep sadness throughout the world, but the staff and cast worked together to complete the film with the determination to carry on Chadwick’s spirit.
At the recent world premiere held in Los Angeles, before the first unveiling of the film, he said, “I’m so excited that everyone is going to see it for the first time, so all I can think about is Chadwick. What would he think? What would he think? I want to ask him, ‘What do you think? I want to ask him, ‘What would he think?'” The director spoke of his feelings toward Chadwick and his joy and relief at having overcome the unprecedented absence of the main character to complete the film.
After four years of twists and turns, his latest film “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” opened in theaters on November 11 (Fri.), attracting many eagerly awaiting fans to theaters nationwide. The film got off to a good start with a wide range of customers from the first day, including men and women in their teens and twenties, couples, and men in their thirties and forties.
The film is about Shuri, the younger sister of King T’Challa, Okoye, a female warrior who leads the King’s Guard, and Ramonda, T’Challa’s mother, who faces a new threat after the loss of her sister, T’Challa. How will the survivors find “hope” when they lose the king who has been a beacon for them all? How will they carry on the will and feelings left behind by the departed king? The action scenes are even harder and more elaborate than in the previous film, and the stage is expanded not only to land but also to the air and sea. Weapons and gadgets created from Wakandan science and technology have also evolved, and the action is even more tense and exhilarating than in the first-class spy action films.
In addition, new characters such as King Neymour, the leader of a sea empire, and Riri Williams-Ironheart, a genius inventor who is said to hold an important key to the story, are introduced, and the story unfolds in a way that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats.
The film has already been receiving a number of comments of “excitement” and “rave reviews” on social networking sites, and it has also recorded high scores on major Japanese movie review sites. I’ve never seen a hero movie like this! I broke down in tears in the last 5 minutes,” “A roller coaster of emotions,” “The best film to end the year 2022! The emotions of the viewers exploded as the film unfolded far beyond their expectations. “A new dimension in epic films! A masterpiece! and “A masterpiece!
In addition, the power of the work moved people to tears within the first 0 seconds,” “I feel like I met Chadwick,” “It’s fiction, but it’s not fiction,” “The reality of losing Chadwick Poseman and not the King,” and “It’s a fiction, but it’s not a fiction. The link between the reality of the loss of Chadwick Poseman and the kingless, hero-less Wakanda made many people emotionally moved.
The film, which was produced and casted by the late Chadwick Boseman’s will, is a “masterpiece” that transcends the boundaries of cinema and will be passed down in the history of entertainment.
