*Disney just screamed, “Wakanda forever!” After the immense success of Black Panther, they have a live-action movie in the works about an African Princess!
Hello Sade, meet Pocahontas, Ariel, Belle, Cinderella, and Elsa.
Disney got the idea of an African princess which was originally the idea of Lindsey Reed Palmer and Ola Shukunbi. This idea was like music to the ears for the folks at Disney, as they had missed out on a Princess Fairytale from an entire continent.
This new attraction has been assigned a legendary producer – Rick Famuyiwa but still has to find a director. This story will see Sade use her magic to create strong warrior skills in order to protect her kingdom. The villain is yet to be revealed but is being rumored as a mysterious evil force which threatens to undo everything that she loves.
Speaking of which, Sade will also be joined by her prince in this badass adventure!
This news was revealed alongside the upcoming remake of Mulan and The Lion King and an adaptation of Beauty and The Beast. This project won’t be the first time the story writer and the producer are collaborating, as they have worked together on a short film called ‘Break’ in 2017.

Sade will now join the ranks of Black Fairytale princesses like Princess Shuri from Black Panther and Princess Tiana from The Princess and the Frog. Princess Shuri didn’t even get her standalone movie yet and she is already in the ranks!
In 2009, Anika Noni Rose was featured as an African-American waitress in a New Orleans of 1912. This Disney feature was able to raise $265 million globally. Their success marked the start of a chain of events that would promise a success is 2018 with the ideation of Black Panther.
Disney had experienced massive success with the release of Black Panther when they hit $1.35 Billion in the worldwide box office. This placed the movie on the third position of the highest domestic performer of all time when they raised $700 million domestically.
With two massive successes at hand and a vacancy in the spot for an African Princess Fairytale, we can predict how this live-action movie is going to turn out. Disney never lets us down, and we are happy to welcome Sade amidst all the magic brought for by Snow White, Jasmine and so many more. Good luck Disney!
Wakanda Forever!
