50 free Black Panther: Wakanda Forever trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever had to carry on without Chadwick Boseman, and this quiz covers how it did: T'Challa's off-screen death, the vibranium hunt in the Atlantic, Namor rising out of the water to threaten Ramonda, Riri Williams at MIT, the flooding of Wakanda, Shuri's visit to the Ancestral Plane and the beach duel that ends with an alliance instead of a conquest. The early questions suit anyone who has seen it: who plays Namor, what his kingdom is called, who becomes the new Black Panther, who sings the closing song. Later ones dig into the making of it: the working title, the story Ryan Coogler had written before Boseman died, why Namor lives in Talokan and not Atlantis, what his ankle wings sound like, the four-and-a-half-hour first cut, Letitia Wright's injury, the French defence minister's complaint and the Oscar the film won. Every answer has been checked against production reporting and the film's own record, and each question links to its source. Our Black Panther trivia covers the comics and the 2018 film; this page is devoted to the sequel.
