The world shut down for the pandemic in March 2020. In May 2020, […]

The King has returned. T’Challa and the Afrofuturist paradise and visual feast that is Wakanda is back again, and this time we got a full theatrical trailer, unlike the mini-trailer that dropped during the NBA Finals. In this one, we get a glimpse of Erik Killmonger, portrayed by Michael B. (some call him Bae) Jordan, […]

By Law Ware It should have worked.
