If Chadwick Boseman were still with us, Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever would have had a different plot, as revealed by the film’s director, Ryan Coogler
The death of Chadwick Boseman at just 43 years old from cancer, which he had battled for four years, has shocked Marvel fans and those who came into close contact with him. Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever director Ryan Coogler indulged in secrets about the scenario reserved for the actor.
The original story of Black Panther 2
With the sudden death of Chadwick Boseman, Marvel Studios had to revise their plans towards Black Panther 2, as the actor was still going to star in the sequel. The feature film is said to have focused on the character’s disappearance after casting Thanos in Avengers Infinity War.
The tone of the film needed to be similar…the character needed to mourn lost time and return after a five-year absence. The feature film follows the return of a man of great responsibility after a forced absence of five years. He had to mourn a time he couldn’t make up for. Grief occupied a large place in his life.
Instead, Wakanda Forever will focus on passing the torch with the successor to the Black Panther.
Queen Ramonda, Shuri, M’Baku, Okoye, and the Dora Milaje fight to protect their nation from encroaching world powers after the death of King T’Challa. As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must unite with Nakia and Everett Ross to chart a new path for their beloved kingdom.
Black Panther 2 is set to hit theaters on November 9, 2022, and initial reviews have been rave reviews.
