Dawn drums over the Golden City as the Heart‑Shaped Herb garden flickers—something is draining its light. A masked statesman, Achebe (Will Smith), turns rumor into revolt while a stolen “shadow vibranium” cancels Wakanda’s tech.

Shuri’s new suit hums with hard‑light weave; Okoye’s Midnight Angels dive from a skydock; Nakia slips through a whisper market where Kimoyo beads go dead. In the Ancestral Plane, Killmonger steps from the fire:

“Mercy or victory—choose.” Quick cuts: maglev roof duel, rhino charge across red sand, sonic mines folding a river, and a palace corridor fight lit only by Dora blades. When the throne room darkens, Shuri plants the claws—“Wakanda chooses both.” Final beat: panther eyes glow in total black… then purple blooms.
