We've had to wait patiently, but the first trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has finally been released.

The trailer for the eagerly-awaited MCU sequel was debuted during Marvel Studios' Comic-Con panel tonight (July 23), where Kevin Feige confirmed that it will bring an end to Phase 4 of the MCU.

It appears to confirm that T'Challa's death is a part of the storyline, following the passing of Chadwick Boseman, with a mural to T'Challa seen in one sequence and Ramonda (Angela Bassett) talking about loss.

The trailer ends with a tease of a new Black Panther as we see the suit and claws come out, but not who is in it.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever arrives in cinemas on November 11 and it marks our first return to Wakanda since the tragic death of Chadwick Boseman. Back in May, Letitia Wright had explained how the sequel pays tribute to the late star.

"We honoured him by committing ourselves to the story that he started, the legacy that he started with this franchise," she noted. "And we just committed every day to working hard, no matter what circumstances we faced."

Alongside Wright as Shuri, the sequel also brings back Lupita Nyong'o as Nakia, Danai Gurira as Okoye, Winston Duke as M'Baku (reportedly in a bigger role), Angela Bassett as Ramonda and Martin Freeman as Everett K Ross.

We'll also get the MCU debut of Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams, aka Ironheart, and other newcomers include Michaela Coel and Tenoch Huerta. Huerta has been having fun with rumours he's playing Namor, which was confirmed at Comic-Con.

Earlier this month, Daniel Kaluuya unfortunately confirmed that he wasn't able to reprise his role as W'Kabi as a result of scheduling conflicts with Nope.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is released in cinemas on November 11.
