BlackPanther producer Kevin Feige says WakandaForever feels like 'the most important movie' MarvelStudios has 'ever made':
How do you make a sequel to Black Panther without Chadwick Boseman? That was the question facing Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige and returning writer-director Ryan Coogler, confronted by the unimaginable task of rewriting and reworking Black Panther: Wakanda Forever without leading man Boseman. The actor, who died before the start of production, privately battled colon cancer until his death at the age of 43 in August 2020.
At the heart of the story are Queen Ramonda and Princess Shuri , who must forge a path forward for Wakanda as a new threat to the African nation surfaces: Namor the Sub-Mariner, ruler of the hidden undersea kingdom of Talokan. Wakanda Forever was always going to be about grief. In the original script that would have starred Boseman, King T'Challa found himself mourning the loss of time after suddenly"blipping" back to life in Avengers: Endgame — five years after being snapped out of existence in Avengers: Infinity War.
On the official Wakanda Forever podcast, Coogler opened up about his last conversation with Boseman and his reaction to the actor's death at age 43.
