Disney+ Highlights Black Panther 2's Historic Music
The upcoming MCU documentary provides an opportunity to showcase the extensive process of creating music for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, highlighted by interviews with Black Panther 2 director Ryan Coogler and award-winning composer Ludwig Göransson.
Göransson's remark about collecting sound all over the world means that the original series also serves as a fitting celebration of the different cultures worldwide.
It isn't surprising that Black Panther 2 is the first MCU movie to receive its own documentary series, considering that Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige previously proclaimed the sequel as "the most important movie [they've] ever made."
While Wakanda Forever has received a podcast and documentary, there's room for more special dedicated projects for the sequel, such as its own book that tells the emotional story of how the cast and crew moved forward after Chadwick Boseman's passing.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is still playing in theaters worldwide before its Disney+ debut on Wednesday, February 1.
