"Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" may not turn out to be the best Marvel movie of all time, but it certainly features one of the best soundtracks the Marvel Cinematic Universe has ever put together. The movie that got Rihanna out of retirement has a stellar soundtrack that also features an array of talented musicians, including several Nigerian and Mexican artists who bring the sounds of the cultures that inspired the movie to life. Plus, the film has something that gives it a leg up on 2018's "Black Panther," its only real competition in the running for best MCU soundtrack to date: an extremely distinctive and excellent score that mirrors the film's compilation soundtrack.
When it comes to the quality of their soundtracks, movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe can pretty much be divided into two categories: scores made with the guidance of super-talented composer Ludwig Göransson, and scores made without him.

The magic of the original soundtrack album has been a bit lost in recent years — too often, they’re anchored by a few new tracks primed for the top of the charts and some pertinent oldies, then padded out by snippets of score and dialogue. But the soundtrack to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the second film in the Black Panther series and latest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, breaks that trend with verve and gusto in a way befitting a movie about the world’s most tech-savvy nation.
