“The world is still processing the loss of Chad,” he said of the possibility of a new actor in the skin of T’Challa.
The death of Chadwick Boseman, the protagonist of ‘Black Panther’, shocked fans around the world in August 2020, more than two years ago. The loss of such a talented actor was a setback for everyone. “The world is still processing the loss of Chad,” said Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige. in a recent interview on Empire.
In the House of Ideas, the debate was opened about what they could do to make up for their loss in ‘Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever’, a sequel that was already announced, and about who would be the new Black Panther. However, Feige was clear. Boseman needed to be honored and honored, not replaced..
“It seemed like it was too early to replace it. Stan Lee always said that Marvel represents the world outside your window. And we had talked about how, as extraordinary and fantastic as our characters and stories are, there is a human element and with which we identify in everything we do. The world is still processing the loss of Chad. And Ryan incorporated that into the story,” said the head of Marvel Studios.
On the conversations they had about reconceiving ‘Black Panther 2’, Feige stated that “The questions really were: What do we do next? And how could Chadwick’s legacy continue, and what had he done to help Wakanda and Black Panther become these incredible, aspirational, iconic ideas? That’s what it was all about.”
‘Black Panther 2’ will hit theaters around the world on November 11introducing a new Black Panther and one of the MCU’s first mutants, the Atlantean Namor, who will act as the villain of the film.
The film will be directed again by Ryan Coogler and will have in its cast Lupita Nyong’o, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, Danai Gurira, Florence Kasumba, Bassett, and Martin Freemanas well as Marvel newcomer Tenoch Huerta like Namor and Dominique Thorne as heroine Riri Williams (Iron Heart).
