I really hope they have been sleeping on the Rhino mech footage and it's not just something exclusive to the toy line.

If you can film in South Korea probably could have filmed something in Africa (outside of aerial shots) :manny: but its about the $$ so I get it.


This movie kills it at the box office they'll probably do it next film though.

This complaint is as hilarious as the ones about the accents not being natural. People really be thinking Wakanda is real lol

I think the issue is more so promoting this African pride...and then not even shooting there :yeshrug:Not about Wakanda being fictional, but being grounded in some sort of reality to connect to.

I said it before, but Beasts of No Nation is visually a beautiful film to look at primarily because its filmed in Africa.

If the movie's landscapes are a bunch of CGI scenes I can see the reaction being :picard: :russ:

Not going to act brand new about it because most of us assumed they were filming something in Africa before they started filming :manny:

Most of Thor's filming was in Australia.


I see both sides to it. Like I said its a business decision. Filming in Africa might have cost them in other areas that could have hurt the film.The success of this movie allows for growth.

This breh said it best with regards to the accents.

Far as I'm concerned this location thing is just one minor complaint that shouldn't be entertained. People steady focusing on the one "problem" and ignore that the movie is about an african king, in an african utopia, with african music, visuals, clothing and accents. It's also representing black love, pride, intellegence and strength. Cats need to chill and just take comfort that the 2nd movie could easily fill in whatever's missing in this movie.

Like I said I see both sides. :yeshrug:You're right, but I think its ok if people point out the missed opportunity. You can still be hyped for the film and acknowledge a possible misstep.

Breh makes some valid points.










But in the end its about that dollar :manny:


Just appreciative that Coogler came on board to get it right as possible.


Filming a few weeks in S. Korea = $$$$

I also think they couldn't do anything in Africa because of Infinity War...

The movies were filming at the exact same time and you couldn't have Boseman in Africa when he's needed that next day in Atlanta for Infinity War.

Also it would have been hard to replicate Wakanda for Infinity War if they were shot in different locations.

Its why Wonder Woman's Themyscira and Justice's League version looked like two different places :picard:

Dude basically wants to see his country south Africa represented in the flick

He isn't being transparent. The South Korea scene is based in South Korea so I'm not sure why he has a problem with it.

Like be happy you have SA actors in the flick and they made the Wakandan language an SA language which it wasn't even a thing in the comics.

In truth Wakanda would be Nigeria more than South Africa.:yeshrug:
