T’Challa has ruled Wakanda for some time, balancing the responsibilities of a king with his duties as the Black Panther. When a diplomatic mission requires him to travel to the United States, he agrees to leave Wakanda under the protection of Zuri and the Dora Milaje. In America, T’Challa is accompanied by Everett Ross, who helps him navigate the unfamiliar political landscape. But before the mission can be completed, T’Challa is suddenly attacked by a group of highly trained assassins. T’Challa survives the ambush, but Zuri and the Dora Milaje soon discover something deeply disturbing: the attackers were using Wakandan technology and weapons. The trail leads back to Wakanda itself. T’Challa realizes that his absence was never a coincidence. Achebe, a ruthless political manipulator, deliberately arranged for the king to be sent away so he could begin taking control of the country in his absence. While T’Challa was in America, Achebe had been manipulating Wakandan leaders and spreading the idea that T’Challa was no longer fit to rule. T’Challa immediately returns to Wakanda, only to find his kingdom on the verge of a political takeover. Achebe attempts to turn the people against their king and seize the throne without openly declaring war. T’Challa is forced to fight not only for his life, but for his right to rule. With the help of Zuri and the Dora Milaje, he exposes Achebe’s deception and confronts him in a final battle. Achebe is defeated and T’Challa reclaims his position as king of Wakanda. Post credit: T’Challa speaks through an elaborate holographic communication system. He tells an unseen group that he has received their message and, although he will not accept their proposal, his nation will remain ready if they ever needs them. The camera turns, revealing Iron Man, Professor X, Mr. Fantastic and Doctor Strange on the other side of the call.
