As highlighted in the official teaser, the EP includes the powerful cover of Bob Marley and the Wailers' "No Woman No Cry" performed by Nigerian artist Tems.

As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with the help of War Dog Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o) and Everett Ross (Martin Freeman) and forge a new path for the kingdom of Wakanda. Introducing Tenoch Huerta as Namor, king of a hidden undersea nation, the film also stars Dominique Thorne, Michaela Coel, Mabel Cadena and Alex Livanalli. "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" opens in U.S. theaters Nov. 11, 2022.
