With the passing of her son, Angela Bassett's 'Ramonda' reassumed the mantle of Queen and tried to provide comfort and guidance to her daughter and a grieving nation.

Namor costume worn by Tenoch Huerta
in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
On the big screen Tenoch Huerta brought the long-lived Mutant undersea king 'Namor' to life, who is possessed of super-strength and resilience that allow him to exist in the pressure and cold of the ocean's depths and ankle wings that allow him to fly in the air.
He wears this regal costume and headdress (inspired by Mesoamerican cultures) in the throne room of the underwater city of Talokan, which also harnesses the power of Vibranium in its technologies, clothing and weapons.
