KIing T’Challa is dead. The Black Panther is no more. With Wakanda reeling from the death of its king, Queen Mother Ramonda (Angela Basset) and Princess Shuri (Leticia Wright) face a struggle to protect their country from external forces eyeing its resources, especially its exclusive supply of the nigh-invulnerable metal Vibranium.

But there is another threat, one that comes from the deepest parts of the ocean – an underwater nation called Talokan, led by its enigmatic mutant king, Namor (Tenoch Huerta).
