It was a challenge to return to the world of Wakanda without Chadwick Boseman but director Ryan Coogler and the cast of Wakanda Black Panther: Wakanda Forever did their best to honor the late actor in the upcoming sequel. In a new behind-the-scenes featurette, they talk about Boseman’s legacy and where Wakanda will go next.
“Chadwick, he knew exactly what this story, what these pictures meant to the world,” says Angela Bassett, who plays Queen Ramonda, T’Challa and Shuri’s mother. “In telling this story, we were all able to honor him together.”
The new video also features Tenoch Huerta, who will play Namor, the film’s antagonist. Namor is the leader of an underwater civilization called the Talocan and determined to protect his people at all costs, making him the perfect antagonist for the leaders of Wakanda.
In addition to Bassett and Huerta, the film also stars Letitia Wright as Princess Shuri; Lupita Nyong’o as Nakia; Danai Gurira as Okoye; and Winston Duke as M’Baku. Dominque Thorne plays Riri Williams, the creator of Ironheart. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever hits theaters on November 11th. Check out the newly released character posters.
