Honoring Our Leader Was the Most Important Thing in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
The loss of Chadwick Boseman is something that the cast of Black Panther had to go through all again while working on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is expected to follow up with T’Challa’s passing. Wakanda would suffer from this loss and would have to face these challenges without their king.
When the cast was asked what was the most important thing in telling Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Danai Gurira had a straight answer. The actress said, “The most important thing was, of course, honoring our brother, our leader, our king. That was definitely on the forefront of our minds, our spirits, and our hearts.”
She also talked about the impact the first Black Panther had. She said, “There was this amazing impact that the first Black Panther had, and so the need I think was to really solidify the sense that these characters in this world, it has an arc.”
Danai Gurira said that it was not a one-time momentous thing, and there was complexity. She mentioned it is rare to have such representations on a huge platform like this, so it is important to show each character’s arc, as it would solidify their progress from the beginning.
What Would be Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Without Chadwick Boseman?
After the first teaser release of the film, everyone had the same question, Who will be the next Black Panther? As the studio has already declared that they would not recast the role of Black Panther, fans were sure it would be someone from the original cast of the film.
