Black Panther: Wakanda Forever: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. theme (character introduction): Captain America: Civil War ⇒ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (the host's read). Van says Black Panther was handled better in Civil War than in his own movie, and that Civil War served as his origin; Ironheart's introduction here does not land the same way.
