BlackPanther star once thought Marvel might not make the sequel, WakandaForever, without Chadwick Boseman:
✖ Martin Freeman thought Marvel might not make a Black Panther 2 after the death of Chadwick Boseman. Freeman, who played CIA operative Everett Ross in Captain America: Civil War and Black Panther, returns to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The recently-wrapped Marvel Studios sequel did not recast Wakandan King T'Challa, the role portrayed by Boseman until his death from colon cancer at age 43 in August 2020.
Freeman and Boseman entered the MCU together in 2016's Civil War, reuniting for 2018's Black Panther. On doing the sequel without its original leading man, Freeman said,"Of course, it was odd with Chadwick not being there. There's no way around that. I think everyone would find it pretty strange and sad, but at the same time, life things don't just end. It's not like, 'Well, that's that's happened, so we just all have to go off and never do it again.
Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige confirmed in December 2020 that Marvel would not recast Boseman's T'Challa, with Disney announcing the sequel would"explore the world of Wakanda and the rich characters introduced in the first film." Victoria Alonso, Marvel Studios' President of Physical, Post Production, VFX and Animation, ruled out using CGI to recreate the late Boseman's likeness.
