LEGO was an exciting company to work with, mostly due to the secrecy of their Marvel collaborations! As a studio, we revelled in getting packages of bricks and characters from their new Wakanda Forever line before the release of the film, and getting confirmation before the general public that yes, (spoiler) Shuri was the new Black Panther.

We worked alongside live-action footage, which gave us some guidelines as to the colour palette and how we would transition into the fantasy-scape land of LEGO Wakanda. The sequences are fast, dynamic and utilise a saturated colour palette to match the imaginations of the children playing with the sets. As the LEGO versions of characters are more playful than their more serious cinematic counterparts, we got to have fun with little moments such as Attuma getting blown away by Shuri’s aircraft and Namor surfing on the waves.
