Black Panther: Wakanda Forever's credits scene honors Chadwick ... (Vox)

Over its last few movies — Eternals, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Thor: Love and Thunder — Marvel has used its post-credits scenes to ...

They wanted a normal life for Toussaint, Nakia says, and the scene ends with Nakia and Shuri’s newfound nephew asking Shuri to keep their secret. Nakia introduces the boy as her son, and he tells Shuri his name is Toussaint. As Shuri is grieving, Nakia approaches her with a 6-year-old boy in tow and asks if they can grieve with her. The movie’s final scene has Shuri finally visiting Nakia and performing a Wakandan ritual in which she says goodbye to her brother. Shuri wrestles with her anger and guilt at not being able to help him. One might assume that would happen with Wakanda Forever, especially with how the movie introduced the antihero [sub-mariner](https://www.marvel.com/characters/sub-mariner) Namor (Tenoch Huerta) and the underwater city of Talokan.

Why Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Has the Best End Credit ... (Gizmodo)

The new Marvel movie—starring Letitia Wright, Angela Bassett, and Winston Duke—is now in theaters.

No end credits scene in Marvel Cinematic Universe history has so expertly threaded that needle of cool future implications, while also wrapping up and being a crucial addition to the story you just watched. His name is Toussaint (Divine Love Konadu-Sun) and we learn he’s the son of T’Challa and Nakia. For example, in the film we never quite learn why Nakia—T’Challa’s significant other—didn’t come to his funeral. Once the waterworks stop, the implications of the scene are huge. And yet, on top of all that, meeting the boy also provides an even warmer, more loving, and deeper conclusion to the film as a whole. What could have been a sad ending of Shuri simply mourning her losses instantly becomes cathartic and hopeful. However, those decades-away hypotheticals are not why this scene stands on the top of the MCU mountain. Picking up seconds after the film ends, we see Shuri (Letitia Wright) still crying on the beach in Haiti as she burns her funeral garb, marking the end of mourning not just for her brother, but her mother too. And yet we think Marvel’s latest film, [Black Panther: Wakanda Forever](https://gizmodo.com/black-panther-wakanda-forever-movie-review-marvel-studi-1849725648), has the best credits scene in Marvel Studios history. Nakia explains T’Challa wanted Toussaint to grow up away from the pressures of the throne which is why he remained hidden. Since the beginning, Marvel Studios has put scenes during and after its credits to keep fans in the seats and tease what’s to come. Wakanda Forever only has one end credits scene, and it’s in the middle.
