Black Panther Wakanda Forever to have an OTT release
Instead of discarding the idea of the sequel, director Ryan Coogler re-imagined it to give Chadwick Boseman a fitting tribute in Blank Panther: Wakanda Forever.

However, his untimely demise never let that come to fruition. Yet, instead of discarding the idea of the sequel, film director Ryan Coogler re-imagined it to give Boseman a fitting tribute in Blank Panther: Wakanda Forever.
If fans missed this fitting homage to T’Challa and Boseman when it hit the theatres last November, the film will be released on the OTT platform Disney+ Hotstar on February 1. Here are all the details you need to know:
