Black Panther 2 soundtrack: What songs are in Wakanda Forever?
Tems and Kendrick Lamar lead the way on the Marvel trailer.
The soundtrack in Marvel’s 2018 Black Panther movie was hailed nearly as much as the visuals and so naturally, the upcoming sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has a lot to live up to.
Fortunately, Rihanna is lending Marvel her talents for the upcoming film.
Rihanna's first new single in six years will feature on the soundtrack for the upcoming sequel and was released on Friday (28th October 2022), two weeks before the film’s theatrical release on 11 November.
The singer confirmed the news on Twitter, writing the title of the song Lift Me Up and the date "10.28.22" along with a 14-second clip.
The video was then released on YouTube.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever from director Ryan Coogler sees the likes of Shuri (Letitia Wright), Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o), Okoye (Danai Gurira), M'Baku (Winston Duke) and Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett) facing an all-new threat in the form of underwater monarch Namor, played by Tenoch Huerta.
A trailer was dropped at the Marvel panel at Comic-Con, treating fans to a glimpse of the soundtrack to come.
The emotional footage made its debut at San Diego Comic-Con 2022 and sees Wakanda trying to forge a new path following the sad passing of its king, T'Challa, who was portrayed by the late Chadwick Boseman who died in 2020.
The footage shows that emotional, violent and powerful scenes await us when the film is released, while also teasing the pulsating soundtrack to come.
The trailer boasts one almighty mash-up, but what songs are on the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack? Read on to find out.

The Black Panther (2018) soundtrack was also curated by hip-hop legend Kendrick Lamar.
Meanwhile, speaking on her collaboration with Rihanna, Tems said in a statement: “After speaking with Ryan and hearing his direction for the film and the song, I wanted to write something that portrays a warm embrace from all the people that I’ve lost in my life. I tried to imagine what it would feel like if I could sing to them now and express how much I miss them.
"Rihanna has been an inspiration to me so hearing her convey this song is a great honour.”
A second song from Rihanna, titled Born Again, is expected to be heard in the film itself.
