Directed by Ryan Coogler, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever faces the impossible task of replacing the much-loved actor, Chadwick Boseman, who unfortunately passed away back in 2020; and still producing a tasteful end result that will satisfy the audience.
Letitia Wright Shares Her Loss
With many of the cast still reeling from the loss of Chadwick Boseman’s death, they haven’t been able to shake off his legacy from the franchise. Commenting on the same, Death on the Nile star described her experience in an interview with Extra:
“it’s another level to the experience because we’ve lost our brother, but we know that he’s so proud of us, at the same time so it’s a bowl of emotions….”
After the actor’s death, Marvel publically announced his role as T’Challa would not be recast for future films. So this closes the books on anyone playing King T’Challa in future installments, leaving Chadwick Boseman as the one and only actor to portray the character.
