Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is here and it is breaking hearts of MCU fans across the globe as well as hot the heels of record box office success both for the year 2022 and amongst Marvel Studios releases. Whether you’re going into this weekend for repeat Black Panther viewing or because you are playing catch up on the latest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe we want you to be as informed as possible about all the characters and their comings and goings throughout the movie.
Bring us along, won’t you?
The best place we can point you to begin is, of course, with our 2018 Geek History Lesson episode on T’Challa himself - Black Panther! We dive not only into the character, himself, but into a decent amount of history on the world of Wakanda to boot! In this episode we are joined by a Special Guest - actor and comedian, Jay Washington! One of many appearances he makes on this podcast. If you like Geek History Lesson + Jay Washington be sure to listen to our episode on The Hulk where he lends us further expertise.

If you’re a fan of our episode where we make predictions don’t forget to listen to this Geek History Lesson Extra episode on Our Black Panther 2 Ideas ahead of watching the movie where you can then tune in and learn what we actually got right! There’s another great companion Geek History Lesson Extra episode all about Shuri’s Role in Marvel Phase 4 which is probably good for some laugh and insights! Heck, even our Geek History Lesson Extra episode on Storm titled Should Storm be on the MCU X-Men Team? goes pretty deep into Black Panther franchise territory. While you’re over on the Patreon why not consider joining #MarvelClub where you can watch our Black Panther retro review video, upcoming Wakanda Forever review video and bask in the excellence in this final exclusive print of MILES MORALES SPIDER-MAN by @Comickergirl!
Once you’ve gotten the lowdown on Black Panther, himself, we have a Youtube video breaking down all the characters who appear in Black Panther’s cinematic universe. Which touches on all of the major players who are returning for repeat performances in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever:
And we answered the fan question: How Advanced is Wakanda?
Following the first Black Panther installment we had no choice but to do a Geek History Lesson on one of the breakout characters who has since gone on to be placed front and center in the franchise, T’Challa’s little sister: Shuri! Did you know she became Black Panther, herself, in the comic books?
In our two most recent Geek History Lesson episode we had to nod to two more badass women in the world of Black Panther when we covered Riri Williams and, most recently, the Dora Milaje. Each comes complete with Recommended Reading, of course!
Beyond our Recommended Reading on all things Black Panther we have a final video to recommend to you. Black Panther Once Replace Daredevil!?
It’s true! And Professor Jason was joined by Sal from Comic Pop! in a trivia challenge which centered the King of Wakanda, himself. Play along and see if you do better answering these comic book-themed questions than the players.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever might be the rave of reviewers and fans alike - and you won’t know our feelings about it until the final #MarvelClub episode in our mini BLACK PANTHER series! - but we hope it brings you enjoyment. We hope these videos and podcasts enriched your experience of the story as much as making them did for us!
