Daniel Kaluuya then proceeded to say that it was hard for him to even speak about Wakanda Forever without remembering Chadwick Boseman, who performed the titular superhero and left a mark in our hearts. He talked about his break on the sequel, saying:
“If I said anything, people would be really disappointed. That’s how I feel about it. I think people will be disappointed, They don’t want to be spoiled. They’re surprised by whatever will happen. That’s what was amazing about the first one.”
“What can you say? Legit, and I mean that in a real sense, what can you say? Watching [Boseman] do the first one, knowing what I know, knowing what everyone [now knows], you just look at him in a different stratosphere. As a character, as a human being.”
