Black Panther returns to our lives with Wakanda Forever, a new installment in the hit superhero franchise.

The film's premiere was held at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, California, and its cast walked the red carpet once again.

Fans turned up in big numbers, dressed up in creative outfits, and we bring you all the action here.

The singer's beau A$AP Rocky was at her side, and simply couldn't get enough of her. The couple's son was born in May, and this is Rihanna's first public outing since then.

Cast member Daniel Kaluuya walks the red carpet.

Wakanda Forever is the long-delayed sequel to the 2018 Black Panther movie. The delay was largely due to the pandemic and the tragic death of Chadwick Boseman, who played the title role. Boseman died from colon cancer in 2020.

'Everywhere I go around the world, people know me for Nakia,' Lupita Nyong'o said at the premiere.

Did you know that Lupita was directed by our very own Mira Nair in Queen Of Katwe? In fact, Lupita interned with Mira when Ms Nair, who turned 65 on October 15, was working on The Namesake.
