Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the second part of the saga starring Chadwick Boseman, who tragically died before he could appear in this sequel, has just been released on Disney+. The film is one of the most anticipated releases of February and, despite being from Marvel, has become a huge critical success reaching the Golden Globes and the Oscars.
With its release on the platform, it is a great opportunity for Marvel fans who have not been able to see it in theaters to approach it. But it is also a great opportunity to rediscover it. It has undoubtedly become one of the most acclaimed films of Phase 4, and it is for many reasons: from the end of T’Challa’s journey to the conversion of Shuri into the new Black Panther and the introduction of Iron Heart.
But Marvel Studios was holding back a cartridge all this time, and with the film’s arrival on Disney+ it has revealed it: a deleted scene in the original edit that features an alternate ending to the film.
What does the alternate ending of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever look like?
In the deleted scene, which is titled “Anytime, anywhere“, we see Shuri arriving in Haiti, as it happens in the original montage. Upon arrival, she meets Okoye, which after everything that happened in the film is a very emotional encounter.
Upon meeting, Okoye tells Shuri that he is there to say goodbye to her. Shuri asks her where she is going and Okoye replies “wherever my new spacesuit takes me,” referring to the Midnight Angel suit she gets during the film.
Finally, Okoye tells Shuri that she is no longer part of the Dora Milaje. But she makes her a final promise: “If you ever need me, I’m here. Anytime, anywhere.” The phrase is the one that titles the scene in English: “Anytime, anywhere”.
Along with this deleted scene, there is another one that was leaked earlier. In it, we could see Okoye being proposed to fight against Shuri for the throne of Wakanda. This is a scene that was also finally not added to the Disney+ cut, but would have given an interesting twist to the relationship between the two characters.
Undoubtedly, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has become a film full of nuances and curiosities that never ceases to surprise us. Although it was released three months ago, it still continues to give us new details about the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
