🐾 Plot Summary

Long before T’Challa, before even Wakanda’s great dynasties, there was Mosi — a fearless warrior chosen by the Panther Goddess Bast to become the very first Black Panther.

Set centuries before the events of Black Panther (2018), this origin story traces the birth of the Black Panther legacy. Mosi, a young hunter from a divided Wakandan tribe, is thrust into leadership when an alien meteor crashes into the Great Mound, releasing the mythical metal known as Vibranium.

As warlords seek to exploit its power and rival tribes turn on each other, Bast appears to Mosi in a divine vision. Bestowed with superhuman strength, agility, and the prophetic instincts of the panther, Mosi must unite the tribes, defend Wakanda’s sacred lands, and face an ancient enemy tied to the Vibranium’s curse.

This epic tale of myth, origin, and power marks the true beginning of Wakanda as we know it.

🎭 Reception & Buzz

While still under wraps, MOSI has sparked massive anticipation across social media for expanding the MCU’s African mythology. Many are praising its casting of John Boyega in what fans are calling a “career-defining role,” and Ryan Coogler’s rumored return has reignited confidence in a powerful, emotional narrative.

Marvel is reportedly positioning MOSI as not only a historical epic but a spiritual companion to Black Panther, deepening the legacy of Wakanda in a profound way.
