The high-impact release of 2018’s
What’s the film called?
In a video released by Marvel Studios in May 2021, we learned that
Concerning Chadwick Boseman’s death
In 2020,
During Disney Investor Day 2020, Feige said, “[Boseman’s] portrayal of T’Challa, the Black Panther, is iconic, and transcends any iteration of the character from any other medium in Marvel’s past. It is for that reason that we will not recast the character.”
But even still, questions have prevailed concerning the character’s presence in the MCU. Disney productions of recent past had used CGI to reproduce the likeness of deceased actors; the
“No. There’s only one Chadwick, and he’s no longer with us. Sadly, our king has died in real life, not only in fiction, and we’re taking a little time to see how we continue the story and how to honor this chapter of what has unexpectedly happened to us, so painful and terrible to be honest.”
So who will star?
Though we can presume that Marvel will refocus the script around a new lead, as of yet we do not know who will head-up the story. Some posit that the
sequel will center on T’Challa’s sister Shuri; another possibility would involve a new character entirely as the nucleus of the action.Still, we do know some details. Marvel has confirmed that the following
stars would revive their roles in the sequel: Letitia Wright (Shuri), Danai Gurira (Okoye), Lupita Nyong’o (Nakai), Winston Duke (M’Baku), Angela Bassett (Ramonda), and Martin Freeman (Everett Ross). In November 2020, The Hollywood Reporter teased the possibility of Tenoch Huerta joining the cast as the story’s villain. This news remains unofficial.In late July,
reported Michaela Coel () has joined the cast. We don’t know who she’s playing and Marvel Studios declined to comment to on the casting.Also, in August 2021, Comicbook.com confirmed that Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) will make her live-action debut in the film.
Who is behind the scenes?
Ryan Coogler, director of the first
movie, will return to write and direct .What will
be about?At this time, it’s anyone’s guess. As mentioned above, the film
may revolve around tech genius Shuri. On a related note, Coogler is also putting together a Wakanda-based television seriesfor Disney+. Though these remain independent projects, we can expect that the storylines will intersect in one way or another.But rest assured! As the project enters production, we will no doubt accrue further details. Which brings us to our next question.
When will the film release?
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has a scheduled release date of November 11, 2022.
