Popcorn Podcast returns to Wakanda for Ryan Coogler's Black Panther sequel, Wakanda Forever. The highly anticipated new MCU instalment closes Phase Four’s films in the wake of Chadwick Boseman's untimely death with a story of loss, grief and hope, while introducing us to mutant antihero Namor (Tenoch Huerta), king of the hidden undersea nation of Talokan. When his kingdom is threatened as a direct result of King T'Challa's (Boseman) decision to reveal Wakanda's true nature, Namor wages war with the surface world – including Wakanda. Does Black Panther: Wakanda Forever tread troubled waters in a way that honours the original? Listen to Leigh and Tim to find out.

Plus, the Academy announces its next Oscars host; James Cameron makes a shocking Avatar call; Snoop Dogg's life story coming to the screen; and double the fun with John Wick.
