Another deleted scene from the Black Panther home release sees T'Challa reunite with CIA operative Everett Ross following the battle for Wakanda.
The unused scene, set at the United Nations in Vienna, Austria, happens immediately before T'Challa ultimately reveals Wakanda to the world. In the final film, Wakanda's big step into the spotlight came as a mid-credits scene.
T'Challa, Nakia, and Dora Milaje warriors Okoye and Ayo head for the big reveal. T'Challa and Nakia walk hand in hand.
Agent Ross greets T'Challa with a handshake.
Ross: Your highness. Okoye, Ayo, Nakia.
T'Challa: Please give us a second.
The ladies step aside.
Ross: Listen, it's not my place to say — but man, I really don't think you should do this. What you guys have is gonna scare a lot of people in that room. They're gonna come after you.
T'Challa: Yes. But I will no longer rule out of fear. Not ours or anyone else's.
Ross: God damn it. Yeah, I figured you'd say that. Well, OK. I'll do my best to keep them off your back.
T'Challa: I will hold you to that, Everett.
The king goes to leave.
Ross: I'll see you in there. Oh, T'Challa — um.
Clears his throat.
Ross: [speaking Xhosa] Good luck and many shoelaces.
T'Challa smiles. The ladies can't help but laugh.
T'Challa: It was close. It was close.
Ross: Don't laugh, I practiced that!
T'Challa: [in Xhosa] Thank you, Everett. Thank you.
They part on good terms.
