Mortal Kombat 11 developer NetherRealm Studios includes a nod toward the 2018 MCU film, Black Panther, through the fan-favorite Tarkatan warrior, Baraka.
Like most games, Mortal Kombat 11 has its own fair share of Easter eggs, ranging from the connection between Frost and Disney’s Elsa to Johnny Cage having a Toy Story Easter egg. Now, it appears to be Baraka’s turn, as he has a clear nod to Marvel’s Black Panther and perhaps his most iconic phrase “Wakanda Forever.”
As seen above, Black Panther is known to give the “Wakanda Forever” salute after crossing his arms in a show of solidarity. It quickly became a meme of its own, as several people would give this salute following their victories, but this trend has tapered off since the release of the 2018 film.
