The Terminator Connection?

Can you picture Arnold Schwarzenegger uttering the words “I am the terminator” in Wakanda? Probably not, but The Terminator and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever are connected in an interesting way.

Director, Ryan Coogler, explained that “Terminator 2 is a big inspiration for this movie. Big time.” He goes on to explain that he used The Terminator as a reference for how he approached the villain, Namor, in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, saying, “And you think about what T-1000 wants, and what Arnold Schwarzenegger’s robot wants. They both want John Connor, but T-1000 wants to kill him, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character wants to protect him. That’s the movie. And I look at it like that and also try to spend time with them. Not too much, you know what I’m saying? But enough that you understand where they’re coming from and that you believe them when they make threats.”

So, if you’re watching Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and feeling like you have just enough information to understand Namor, the antagonist, and leader of the underwater kingdom known as Talokan, and his motives you can thank The Terminator for serving as inspiration.
