THE ONCE AND FUTURE KING PART 1 takes us 25 years into the future, to a time when Wakanda has returned to an isolationist policy. And when Secretary of State Everett K. Ross is kidnapped by enemies of the African nation's king, T'Challa refuses to come out of seclusion, even to save his old friend! And so it will fall to the king's daughter, a child he has rejected all her life, to journey to America and take on a baker's dozen of T'Challa's deadliest foes, all to win her father's love!
