Wakanda is at a crossroads. King T'Chaka has been assassinated not by Zemo, but by a shadow cabal of isolationist tribal leaders who believe Wakanda is becoming too exposed. T'Challa, a scholar and warrior who spent his youth studying abroad in secret (Oxford/Harvard), is recalled home to take the throne. He is viewed by his own people as an "outsider," too influenced by the West. The film is a political mystery and spiritual thriller. To prove his worthiness to the Panther God Bast, T'Challa must undergo the trials in the Necropolis (the City of the Dead), where he gains the ability to commune with all previous Black Panthers. He must use this ancient wisdom to uncover the conspirators within his own council, led by the fanatical White Wolf (Hunter), his adopted brother who believes he should be King. It’s Game of Thrones meets Blade Runner in an Afrofuturist setting.
