Black Panther movie summary

Soon after, the Vibranium was used in the development of cutting-edge technologies, with King T'Challa choosing to keep it in isolation, making the world believe it was an underdeveloped country, not calling the attention of other countries.

Vibranium Trafficking

T'Challa imagined that the metal was only in Wakanda, but when he visits his brother N'Jobi in America in 1992, he discovers that he is involved in Vibranium trafficking with the criminal Ulysses Klaue.

Therefore, the Black Panther Movie is brought back to the present day, where it shows T'Challa returning to Wakanda, with the female special forces, called Dora Milaje.

However, Killmonger wins the fight, ingests the flower (the one you met at the very beginning of this article) and burns all the others.
