We’ve seen major franchises like Avengers and Jurassic World get gigantic roll outs, but I don’t know if anything rivals what we’re seeing for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The movie may not hit theaters until Nov. 11, but the merchandise and product tie-ins have already flooded the market. If you’re like me, then you’ve already purchased several of these items. If not, now you have a handy list to help with all of your shopping. These are just some of the best Black Panther: Wakanda Forever marketing tie-ins.

Please take a moment and say a prayer for all the poor McDonald’s employees who will have to put up with adult toy collectors. These are pretty awesome though, so I may need to order a Happy Meals for a few weeks.

Sprite


Sprite Zero Sugar | Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”

If there’s one soda that will give Black folks a special portal to Wakanda, obviously, it’s Sprite.

Mastercard


Small business heroes are all around us

It’s nice that Mastercard wants to celebrate Black businesses, but buyer beware—there are always strings attached with credit cards.

This beautiful collection is one of the few products that genuinely looks like it came from Wakanda.

My Black is Beautiful

If you’re telling me your product will make my hair look like Angela Bassett’s, then I’m sold.

I absolutely need these sneakers, so I can be the coolest nerd at the comic book store. Where did you think I was going to wear them? To the gym? Don’t be silly.

Lexus

Is this car made of vibranium? Because that would be really helpful in Southern California.

Actively Black

Why yes, I do need to dress like a superhero at the farmers market. You don’t know how aggressive those old ladies get when the fresh baked bread comes out of the bakery.

BLK & Bold

The real question is, will this coffee give me the powers of the heart-shaped herb?

A Dozen Cousins

The Caribbean food brand is releasing its new Flavors of Wakanda collection, which features Jollof Rice, Jerk Chicken and Coconut Rice Seasoning Sauces, with a “vibranium” spoon.” You had me at Jerk Chicken.
