• Angela Bassett in Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever filmed in Atlanta, Georgia

    Black Panther Sequel Back Filming Again After Stoppages

    4 Min Read

    Filming for Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever has resumed once again after being shut down for a while in Atlanta. The last shutdown was reportedly due, to a COVID-19 outbreak among the cast members.

    According to IGN, several actors, including Lupita Nyong’o, tested positive, leading to a pause in production.

    The break, which lasted several days in accordance with COVID health protocols, came only days after the set resumed due to the holidays and serious injury to Letitia Wright, who suffered an on-set accident last fall.

    With all the stoppages, Black Panther 2 is still trying to regain its momentum to finish production in Atlanta.

    Nevertheless, the film continues to build excitement and looks to be yet another blockbuster movie for Marvel Studios.

    Meanwhile, the film’s storyline, as you know, has decided to steer clear of depicting Chadwick Boseman after his untimely passing in August 2020.

    One cast member, Angela Bassett has told media that there has been at least five different scripts for Black Panther 2.

    “I don’t know what it’s going to look like at all. There have been about five incarnations of the script and I hear another one’s coming. Of course, with our dear king going on to glory, a lot of things had to be shifted and changed, so thankfully, Ryan [Coogler] and Joe Robert Cole, they’re just such masterful storytellers that they’ve found a way into this world and hopefully it will be satisfying, I think, for the fans and it will be honorable of our Chad. We love our king.”

    Marvel Studios has revealed that Black Panther 2 will be released on July 8, 2022. The film also now has an official name: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

    What Is The Plot of Black Panther Sequel?

    One of the biggest surprises we’ve learned so far is that Narcos star Tenoch Huerta has been cast as Namor and that the plot involves the Sub-Mariner’s home of Atlantis. But whether he’s a villain or not remains to be seen.

    As for what the plot will be, a logline has already leaked online, courtesy of The DisInsider. Here’s what it says:

    Both Wakanda and Atlantis are hidden civilizations with advanced technology and increased militaristic abilities that decided to separate themselves from the rest of the world for their own safety, and in a way, out of fear. Wakanda feared that their technology would be abused. Atlantis feared that surface dwellers would come and desecrate the mythical city just as they did so many years ago. And yet their fears escalate even further when these two once-hidden nations clash with each other. Wakanda and Atlantis have a shockingly intertwined history. Wakanda is the only county in the world with access to vibranium. However, rumors of its power spread throughout the world, and Namor’s human father was sent searching for this rare material in Antartica…

    We can’t wait to read the rest!

    Who Has Been Cast In Black Panther 2?

    • Lupita Nyong’o as Nakia, T’Challa’s former lover and a War Dog, an undercover spy for Wakanda.
    • Danai Gurira as Okoye: Leader of the Dora Milaje, Wakanda’s all-female special forces and bodyguards to the king.
    • Martin Freeman as Everett K. Ross: A member of the Central Intelligence Agency.
    • Daniel Kaluuya as W’Kabi: The head of security for the Border Tribe, Wakanda’s first line of defense.
    • Letitia Wright as Shuri: T’Challa’s teenage sister and Wakanda’s technology czar.
    • Winston Duke as M’Baku: The leader of Wakanda’s mountain tribe, the Jabari.
    • Angela Bassett as Ramonda: T’Challa and Shuri’s mother, the Queen Mother of Wakanda.

    Final Word

    This much we know for sure:  Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever is one highly anticipate movie.

    Speaking of Angela Bassett, the actress recently caught Sheila E. at City Winery in Atlanta, and when “Glamorous Life” came on, she blessed us with the moves!

    Atlanta is rallying around Black Panther 2 something serious, especially after Coogler went to bat for Georgia-based businesses by agreeing to keep production in the Peach State. Casting calls have already began as well.

    As of now, the hours for Crispy Express are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.

    Crispy Express is located at 71 Georgia Ave SE Unit B, Atlanta, GA 30312. Here’s a map to help you find it.

  • Superica opening new restaurant in Atlanta

    Superica Coming To West Midtown

    3 Min Read

    Ford Fry’s Superica is opening another location in Atlanta, this time in West Midtown, according to the Atlanta Business Chronicle.

    The new Superica will be on Howell Mill Road next to The Optimist, another Fry restaurant.

    Superica is one of the best places to eat in West Midtown.

    Superica Opening On Howell Mill Road

    Superica’s Tex-Mex fusion food has been a hit since it began in Krog Street Market, which is considered its home base. The eatery continues to draw a crowd, from intowners looking for some authentic fare to tourists searching for the best Atlanta bites.

    What Should I Order At Superica?

    If you visit Superica, you’ll see a menu long on interesting twists to classic dishes. Here are some standout favorites that I’ve enjoyed over the last couple years.

    Superica’s menu offers two food choices: dinner and brunch. Here are some dinner faves of mine, which I always recommend to others.

    El LOPEZ two cheese enchiladas, crispy beef taco, guacamole salad, puffy tostada con queso, rice and beans

    Who Owns Superica?

    Superica is owned by restaurateur Ford Fry, a James Beard-nominated chef who’s culinary portfolio includes a who’s who of Atlanta bangers such as JCT Kitchen, The Optimist and of course, Superica.

    “I want to create restaurants that strike a timeless emotional chord – restaurants that don’t pander to trend, but draw generations of families together,” says Fry.

    How Many Superica Restaurants Are There?

    In Atlanta, there are four Superica restaurants. They are located in the following locations:

    • Krog Street Market: 99 Krog St NE, Atlanta, GA 30307
    • Buckhead: 3850 Roswell Rd NE #100, Atlanta, GA 30342
    • The Battery Atlanta: 455 Legends Pl #800, Atlanta, GA 30339
    • The Avalon:  1130 1st St #1030, Alpharetta, GA 30009
    • Ashford Lane: 1220 Ashford Crossing, Dunwoody, Ga. 30346

    Outside of Georgia, there are Supericas  in Charlotte, NC (2), and one in Houston, TX.

    Final Word

    Superica is one of Atlanta’s top Tex-Mex restaurants, but there are some other eateries in the same vein. The city is also known for its Mexican spots, especially those that serve the famous birria tacos.

    Metro Atlanta’s food and drink scene is the best in the Southeast because there’s always a new place opening up. Want to try something new?

    Delta Air Lines Just Gave Travelers More Flight Flexibility

    3 Min Read

    Delta Air Lines just made it easier for you to travel in 2022 and beyond. The Atlanta-based airline is leading the industry on giving travelers flexibility for their upcoming trips.

    The airline announced on Wednesday, January 13, 2022 that travelers that the expiration date for any travel credits you still have has been extended through 2023.

    The good news means that if you have been apprehensive about flying amid the COVID pandemic, you can push your travel plans back without worrying about losing your outstanding credits.

    Here are the details on Delta’s eCredit Extension.

    Effective Jan. 12, all existing eCredit holders will have an additional year of flexibility for rebooking and traveling. Customers will be able to rebook their ticket by December 31, 2023, for travel throughout 2024

    To make sure you don’t lose your credits, you have to book your travel by the end of 2023. More good news: The travel voucher extension is good for Basic Economy flights as well.

    What Is A Delta Voucher?

    A Delta voucher is either a printed or electronic certificate that has monetary value. These vouchers can be applied toward your airline travel.

    Some common ways that Delta vouchers are applied are for:

    • A specific dollar amount off the price of an eligible fare.
    • A specific percentage off the price of an eligible fare.
    • A specific percentage off the number of miles required to purchase an Award ticket.

    So travel vouchers are a great way to save money on your flight, hotel or rental car costs. If you’re thinking about traveling abroad, make sure you get your passport, as soon as you can.

    To save money, look for the cheapest flights from Atlanta that are on sale.  To keep costs down, use these travel hacks to save money and time.

    Final Word

    Delta is the first major airline to extend travel flexibility, but let’s see if other airlines join them.

    To Atlanta is one of the most convenient places to travel to and from. A large part of that is because Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is so accessible.

    Not only is it the world’s busiest airport, but it’s state-of-the-art in every way. If you’re interested in traveling around Atlanta via car or even on scooter, here’s what to know.
