The next and highly anticipated movie Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will feature a new song by Barbadian artist Rihanna, according to Marvel, an American media brand.
A recent thriller from Marvel featured a clear picture of the new Black Panther in action.
The Wakanda Forever title changes to a “R” graphic with the date October 28, 2022, just weeks before the movie opens in theatres on November 11 in a brief clip posted by Marvel on their Twitter page on Wednesday.

According to Hypebeat, Rihanna had recorded two songs for the Black Panther Wakanda Forever soundtrack, one of which is said to be the film’s end credits song.
Rihanna’s Black Panther songs will mark her first solo material in nearly seven years. Aside from a guest spot on PartyNextDoor’s 2020 single ‘Believe It’, the singer was last heard on her 2016 album ‘Anti’. She’s consistently teased new music over the past six years, though, and next February, she’ll return to the stage to headline the halftime show at the 2023 Super Bowl.
