The young king of the futuristic African nation of Wakanda is the subject of a new Black Panther: Wakanda Forever trailer, which just made its debut at San Diego Comic-Con. The trailer opens with the women in his life lamenting his absence.

On a mural in the capital of Wakanda, Boseman can be seen watching two drummers play. It is impossible to read the complete sentence, but the Wakandan alphabet translates it as follows: “The Panther King Forever Lives In Us And Rests…”
