Wakanda Forever Concept Art Shows Ironheart-Namora Battle
Dec 15, 2022
New Black Panther: Wakanda Forever concept art just dropped that shows an underwater battle between Ironheart and Namora, which was cut from the finished film. Concept artist Phil Saunders shared the keyframe illustration which depicts Ironheart diving into the water to attack Namora on Instagram.
Revealing the script’s original setting as an oil rig due to the pillars visible in the background, Saunders discussed his thoughts on the sequence featuring Riri Williams, aka Ironheart – played by Dominique Thorne (If Beale Street Could Talk, Judas and the Black Messiah), who was introduced as a new heroine in the Mavel Cinematic Universe and will have her own series Disney+ original series set to premiere in late 2023. The artist went on to give praise to Josh Nizzi’s design for Namora – played by Mabel Cadena (Asphalt Goddess).
“Another keyframe for #blackpanther #wakandaforever, this time #ririwilliams diving in to attack #namora,” Saunders commented along with the images. “The original setting in the script was an oil rig, hence the pillars in the bkgd. You can see how the helmet was intended to be shown, with the faceplate clear and Riri’s face visible. I really loved painting @joshnizzi.art ‘s incredible design for Namora, so richly textured and dynamic!”
