A series of new Black Panther photos, as well as a clip captured by the team at The Direct, teases a pretty extensive car chase sequence involving two Black Panther: Wakanda Forever lead characters.
The film is currently in production and is in its principal photography phase shooting in places along the east coast. Most of the filming is taking place over at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta. The film's second unit, on the other hand, has been shooting at MIT and in the surrounding areas in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Involved in the car chase is a blue dirtbike, which The Direct says was being driven by a stunt double for Letitia Wright's Shuri. There is also a vintage muscle car being driven by a second double, who is believed to be a stand-in for Danai Gurira's Okoye.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever started production earlier this summer and will feature an ensemble as leads. Marvel Studios confirmed they will not be recasting T'Challa in the wake of Chadwick Boseman's passing.
“I had a Zoom call with Ryan Coogler, the director and co-writer about seven or eight weeks ago, I suppose,” Martin Freeman shared back in May. “He sort of meticulously took me through all of my character's beats in the film. He took me through the film, but incorporating my character's beats.”
“Some of it was very odd, and I think [Coogler] could see from the reaction on my face to some of the things he was saying,” Freeman added with a laugh. “He kept sort of stopping, and he kept going, ‘Stay with me, but this is going to work.'” When asked if the sequel will live up to the hype, Freeman replied, “I mean, we've not done it yet, who knows, we might make it awful, but I'm hoping we won't … I hope people will be in for a treat.”
Marvel Studios' Black Panther: Wakanda Forever opens in theaters on July 8, 2022.
