Violence & Scariness. Begins with off-camera death of King T'Challa. Another death is particularly emotional later in the movie. Lots of intense action violence, chases, and hand-to-hand and weapons-based fights, including spears, water bombs, guns.
In addition to the violent scenes mentioned above, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has some scenes that could scare or disturb children aged 8-13 years.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (Rated PG-13) - Review
What are the inappropriate scenes in Black Panther?
The MPAA rating has been assigned for “sequences of strong violence, action and some language.” The Kids-In-Mind.com evaluation includes a sexual reference, a tender kiss, many scenes of superpowers being used to fight, other fight scenes using spears and knives, a few fight scenes with water bombs and other explosives ...
Black Panther is rated PG-13 by the MPAA for prolonged sequences of action violence, and a brief rude gesture. Violence: Pervasive depictions of violence include property damage, deaths and injuries by guns, spears, poison, explosions, fist-fights, animal attacks and fantastical/high-tech weapons.
As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with the help of War Dog Nakia and Everett Ross and forge a new path for their nation. Rated PG-13 for sequences of strong violence, action and some language.
In another improvement over the original, Wakanda Forever doesn't use wealthy and successful African American actors to preach to us about the continued inequality suffered by African-Americans. It does, however, awkwardly shoehorn in one of the Left's favorite talking points: colonization.
All in all, this is a great movie with some violence and great messaging. Finally, I would like to say that there are strong messages of grief and sadness throughout the movie that may be too heavy for younger viewers.
I'm baffled by reviewers who rate this as only appropriate for those aged 12 and up. There's punching and kicking, there's spear-chucking and shock wave blasting, and there are apparent deaths from said physical conflict—but all of it is very cartoon-like.
Black Panther isn't recommended for children under 13 years, and we recommend parental guidance for children aged 13-15 years. That's because the intense and brutal violence is shown in a way that's likely to make the violent scenes seem more real to younger viewers.
There is a scene of suicide by falling into ocean when they got hypnotized. The ending fight between Namor and Black Panther includes the most violence in the movie. Blood, stabbing and tearing of skin are present. The last act of the movie contains an intense battle scene with no blood.
One use of pr*ck. One use of "BS" (only the letters "B.S." are said, not the word itself). Scenes of violence are quite frequent, realistic, and intense and can be too much/too realistic for kids not in their teens.
Parents need to know that Spider-Man's PG-13 rating comes from a couple of swear words, a clingy wet T-shirt, and -- particularly -- a great deal of comic book-style violence. It can get very intense and includes not just fires and explosions, but people getting vaporized, shot (off-camera), and impaled.
Redditor UncleBullhorn commented, "The pacing was a big problem all through this movie," and although some may differ, the rhythm does feel uneven throughout Wakanda Forever. While some sequences feel fast and rushed, others feel slow and unnecessarily long.
Chinese censors are rumored to be in the process of banning screenings of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, likely because of the movie's brief depiction of a gay relationship.
France criticizes "false and misleading" portrayal of French troops in "Wakanda Forever" France's defense minister has denounced the way he says French soldiers deployed in Africa appear to be depicted in the Marvel Studios superhero film "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" as "false and misleading."
You'll find most of the harmful content from Wakanda Forever comes from the violence and some language, which we'll get into. Besides that, parents may want to know that this movie depicts strong emotional trauma and grief, mostly from Shuri as she continues to process T'Challa's death.
So to recap. Shuri is 18 years old in Black Panther, 20 years old in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, and around 21 in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
As it currently stands, there is no Black Panther 3 release date, since Marvel is yet to officially confirm the sequel. Assuming that does happen, then the sequel is still likely a few years off. The MCU has grown to be more expansive, and already has a packed slate running that includes movies releasing in 2026.
The scene takes place at the end of the movie where Ayo comes to Aneka's Wakandan apartment to offer to “[restore the warrior] as a Dora [Milaje].” And from there, along with their conversation “Aneka gives [Ayo] a kiss on the cheek,” to which Kasumba's Wakandan warrior responds by “[kissing] Aneka on the lips.”
A significant amount of Black Panther's praise stems from its race- and gender-conscious casting and costuming. It boasts the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first Black director, Ryan Coogler; an almost entirely Black lead cast; and a number of Black women in powerful and engaging roles.
