Coogler cited Bernardo Bertolucci’s 'The Conformist' (1970) as an influence on 'Wakanda Forever,' noting the Italian film's strong sense of place: 'You can feel that city in that movie...

One of them is a fictional city, and the other one is a real city in the Bahamas that we spent time in.' He specifically appreciated its ability to capture a specific sense of place and time.
