Over the weekend at San Diego Comic-Con, a wholeeeee lot of Marvel announcements about upcoming projects were released to the public (which naturally made MCU fans super excited).
The trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, set to be released in November 11, 2022, dropped. The new miniseries, Secret Invasion, starring Emilia Clarke and Samuel L. Jackson, is coming to Disney+ in 2023. And finally, I Am Groot has been renewed for Season 2, with more iconic shorts ahead of us.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever intends to honor Chadwick Boseman's legacy as T'Challa/Black Panther.
All of these incredible upcoming Marvel projects got me thinking about the older movies and TV shows, and how clever they've been over the years (especially when it comes to details and Easter eggs).
