As early as March 2022, the ScreenGeek site announced the return of Michael B. Jordan in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The media specified that the actor who played Erik Killmonger, who died in the first film, would return to the Ancestral Plan to take a “young hero” under his wing.
Asked several times about this, Michael B. Jordan has always denied the information. Even his family…
He confides today at the microphone of Extra: “No one knew. A lot of my family was with me and I had to lie to everyone [rires]. I had to keep it a secret. When you deal with Marvel and big studios, you know how it goes. So you just have to deny, deny, deny, deny, deny until the end.”
In Wakanda Forever, Killmonger, the cousin of T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) and Shuri (Letitia Wright) and main antagonist of the first Black Panther, appears well in the Ancestral Plane.

He’s the one Shuri sees during his transformation. If the latter is disappointed not to find her brother, nor her mother, Killmonger explains to her that it is because, like him, she seeks revenge.
He encourages the young woman to embrace the rage within her. But at the time of her revenge, Shuri finally chooses to make peace with Namor (Tenoch Huerta) and not to be invaded by this rage which led Killmonger to his loss.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever by Ryan Coogler has been in theaters since November 9 and has just crossed the 3 million admissions mark at the French box office.
