This movie will take up after the events of Civil War and will be a sequel to the BP special. Killmonger will be slitely different than he is in the movie, with an experienced background. He will be the external stakes. The secondary villain, Namor, will also be teaming up with Killmonger to take over Wakanda and use the Vibranium resources. During the course of the film, we get see more of the Wakandan cultures, history and landscapes. We see the character arc that Namor goes through to become a good guy and we realize he is a lot more nuanced that we thought. T'Challa will be a lot more smarter and show how good of a king he is, so we can root for him. T'Challa will fianlly share his resources to the world and make Wakanda known. It will have huge politic themes and identity with afro-futurism and socialism sprinkled into the mix. The post-credits can reveal T'Challa and Shuri in a base. They have a tablet with 4 individuals, setting up the Illuminati for Inhumans.
