4. Wakanda

We've already seen a brief flash of what Wakanda would look like thanks to the Civil War post-credits scene, and it's fair to say that tease set expectations pretty high for the secret African nation. And now, the trailer has confirmed that Ryan Coogler is set to deliver an incredible visual environment in T'Challa's homeland.

The teaser also establishes that we'll see two sides of the mythical land, first in the traditional, tribal communities that no doubt represent the "false-front" that Klaue mentions, with lush jungles, striking landscapes and - in short - nothing like we've ever seen in the MCU to date.

And not only that, we also get to see a hint at the Golden City and Wakanda's true technological advancement: with a less murky Blade Runner-style cityscape captured at one point. It all looks incredible, and like the art department are really earning their fee here.
