Wakanda is the fictional African nation from Marvel's Black Panther, first seen in the 2018 film where T'Challa and his people use Wakanda Forever as a salute and battle cry. The crossed arms gesture and chant spread quickly through trailers, premieres and social media, becoming a widely recognised symbol of pride and representation. Fans kept using the sound in edits, sports clips and reaction videos long after release, and its meaning grew even stronger following Chadwick Boseman's legacy as Black Panther.
