SPOILERS for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, What If…? Season 3, and any MCU TV/Film released up to June 2025.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was first released in late 2022.
The series Ironheart, featuring Riri Williams who first debuted in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, releases on June 24, 2025.
With the exception of What If…? S03E05 “What If… the Emergence Destroyed the Earth?”, we haven’t seen Riri Williams in ~2.5 years.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is also just a great film.
I couldn’t take Namor seriously with his little ankle wings. I know they’re in the comics, but some things just don’t work in live action.
To each their own, but I thought they did a great job with the ankle wings. Namor didn’t fly the same way other flying MCU heroes do; he bobbed and weaved through the air like a soccer player freed of the constraints of gravity.
I think it’s also fun for flying characters to have a reason for flying. It gives you something to point to or a weakness to try and attack.
Ironman/War Machine/Ironheart fly because of their mech suit.
Ultron/Vision are robots based on the above.
Doctor Strange has his cape.
Mordo has his boots.
Thor has his hammer.
Ebony Maw clearly has psychic powers.
Captain Marvel is the only one who is flying “just because” . (Yes, it’s infinity stone power, but she can’t lose it and it just is.)
