Thursday, November 3, 2022 3:55PMWakanda comes to Harlem! This incredible mural by Vince Ballentine celebrates the upcoming release of 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever'!To celebrate the new "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" film, Marvel has partnered with a local artist in New York,, for a one-of-a-kind mural. Ballentine explained the excitement around this project saying, "Wakanda is a place that a lot of people wish they could go to.
For Ballentine, the Black Panther mural will be especially meaningful within the Harlem community. "Black Panther in particular is of African descent," says Ballentine. "A lot of Harlem is of the diaspora." The mural took almost five days to complete and highlights "Shuri," Black Panther's sister and one of the most impactful characters in the Marvel Universe.
"This is like a reimagination or a reimagining of sorts, where now we can see things in a beautiful way," says Ballentine. "They can be fictitious but they can still be something to strive for or have morals, have pride and have honor behind it." "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" premieres in theaters on November 11. Marvel Studios is a division of Disney, the parent company of ABC Localish.
