Black Panther Wakanda Forever wowed audiences with its story, action, and the way it paid homage to the late Chadwick Boseman. One of the new faces who helped move us all, is the delightful Divine Love Konadu-Sun and he was just as thrilled to be a part of this film as audiences were to see him.
Interview: Divine Love Konadu-Sun On Black Panther Wakanda Forever
Following the death of King T'Challa/Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), Shuri (Letitia Wright), Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), and the rest of Wakanda struggle to stay on track with T'Challa's mission. Foreign powers are searching for vibranium to use for their own gains but that isn't the only threat lurking on the horizon. With outsiders closing in on a vibranium source in the ocean, Namor the Sub-Mariner (Tenoch Huerta), leader of the Talocan, is determined to protect his people no matter the cost. Wakanda is faced with a choice, either aid Namor and his people or face their wrath.
Newcomer to the MCU, Divine Love Konadu-Sun was cast to play the son of the late King T'Challa, Toussaint.
