A year after King T'Challa's death, Wakanda struggles to protect itself from outside powers seeking vibranium now that its protector is gone, while Queen Ramonda, Shuri, Okoye, and the Dora Milaje fight to defend their nation. When the world discovers a second vibranium source at the bottom of the ocean, Namor and the hidden underwater nation of Talokan emerge to attack Wakanda, forcing Shuri to forge a new path as the kingdom's champion. The film also introduces Riri Williams, a young inventor whose vibranium-detection technology draws Talokan's ire.
