Rihanna enters the Oscar race for Best Song from “Wakanda Forever.” The song is called “Lift Me Up” and now we have the official video.
Last night, “Wakanda Forever” premiered in L.A. and was shown to a a lot of press. Reviews are embargoed but some info has leaked out. Apparently, Angela Bassett isn’t in it as much as we thought. Michael B. Jordan, whose character died in the first movie, is back somehow. T’Challa gets a funeral for an unspecified illness. Sounds good!
“Black Panther” made $700 million at the US box office, and millions more from DVD sales, etc. Can “Wakanda” repeat that success? It’s unlikely, but it’s sure to be a big release.
